To-Day's Games
Standing of the Clubs.

II took Just about one inning yesterday
afternoon for the 400 faithful to reach
the conclusion that the Crew OF the
Mary Jane were going TO take another
game from the Cherubs.
In the first place Harry Schmidt the
crack twirler OF last season, showed MINI
self TO be In no condition 10 pltch DaA
and in the second place the players be-
hird him were not in the game with their
usual vigor, and the visitors, together
with this combination. had little trouble
in winning the game.
Schmdts pitching was atrocious, and
he allowed fourteen hits off his delivery
and hit one man. The visitors pounded
the ball all over the field. and kept the
Cherubs on the run and guessing great
part OF the time
on the other hand. Baby Bishop fooled
the heavy hitting Cherubs and made
monkeys Of them TO the tune of five hits.
little dinky affairs that hardly gave one
base each
The only run made by the Cherubs was
that by Klopf in the first inning. lie was
given a free pass 10 first, caught second
on Shannon's bunt hit while the latter
landed safely on first Then Gutenberg
sacrificed and Klopf went 10 third, scor-
ing on Hargrove's out at first
Ii was easy for Norfolk then until the
sixth inning. In that inning the bases
were filled. and an emergency hit might
have saved the game, but that hit never
came, and the best chance the Cherubs
had for scoring was allowed TO pass by.
The hopes Of the local cranks arose
again in the NINTH but they were shat
tered. DundOn went out on close call
at first. and Wig. hit. The latter was
forced down on a free pass to Schmidt,
and Klopf singled.
This would have filled the bases, but
Wig. was hit by the ball from hlopf
bat. and was out accordingly. and then
Klopf was forced out at second on Shan-
mons choice.
Norfolk made a run in the first inning.
Hardesty hit out for three bags ana
