in the book OF rules.
There was no doubt in the world that
Pop was a little of in some OF his deci-
sions. but Il was give and take with
both teams. and the old man was doing
his best TO be square
The crowd didn't look at II that way,
however. and when they saw the game
going up in a balloon. Pop had TO an
swer for an the sins of omission and COM
mission THAI the individual Cherubs had
taken upon themselves TO commit. The
old fellow held his temper TO the end and
when some particularly dlstasteful cpl
thet was hurled at him he simply smiled
and proceeded with the game-continuing
10 call strikes balls, and balls strikes.
The visitors played a pretty game. and
their team work was particularly line.
oduallng that of the locals almost. when
they pay their best game. They landed
upon Sparks curves IN punches. and that
is the whole tale OF the game.
In the second inning four hits were
made. which assisted by kain's error
Melted three runs. and in the eighth four
more hits were made. netting two earn
cd runs.
On the other hand the Cherubs would
not get more than two hits in any one

on errors.
The Cherubs lacked their usual vigor
and d-gctativeness, and. with

worked .u "A Hstless sort of way. These
two players worked hard and did good
service FOR their cause. Herr had an Off
day and allowed them 20 steal, and was
slow In going after fouls
There is. OF course. something to be
taken into consideration in connection
with the playing OF the locals They have
not played for four days. and even that
short lay of showed its effects upon them.

the visitors Tate famed and Purvis
