played his part well. He kicked in sea-
son and out of season, and was ably
seconded by Josh" Riley, who can play
ball as we'll as josh an umpire, and
who has done both for years and years.
Carl Krug, who used to be considered,
after Lockhead, the best shortstop in
the State, was at his accustomed place,
while 'Slimsy' Sullivan-sometimes
catcher-was at the initial; Swindells.
the student, was behind the bat, and
Muller, Pyne and Hilderbrand sashaed
around in the meadow. They are all
seasoned sticks, but they were UP
against the genuine article and went
down fighting. Fitzpatrick pitched
great ball.
The Gifts won their game in the first
two innings and it was lucky that they
did so, otherwise they might be still
using the toboggan to their disadvan-
tage. In the first inning Hutchinson
dropped one to Fitzpatrick and died at
first. Walking was good and Harvey
walked. Doyle poked a hard one to
Pyne in Center field who allowed it TO
ESCAPE, and Harvey was on third,
Doyle on second. Eagan rolled one on
the ground and was an easy mark, and
Stanley raped a safe one to center
field and Harvey crossed the plate.
Stanley started for second like rum
away cyclone in a Kansas camp, and
Swindells tried, unavailingly, to shut
him out, and while this was going for
ward, Doyle was playing the game and
pegged one for his heels. Mclaughlin
shot one to O'Nell and lost his scalp at
first
In the second the locals piled up
four runs and did it this way. Stulz
walked owing to Fitzpatrick's inability
to throw straight, and Shanahan tore
off a two Dagger to left field, landing
Stulz on third. Sheehan waited till
the balls passed by and the bases were
full. Then Hutchinson flew out to Sui
Ivan, who missed Sheehan at first but
caught Shanahan at second, thereby
chalking up the first double play of the
game.
Then the silent blonde from the
horned toad district banged the ball
against the left fence for two stations,
scoring Stulz and landing Sheehan on
third, and Doyle shot one to Muller in
left field, who was so accommodating
as to muff it, and Sheehan and Harvey
scored. Eagan raped out a safe one
to center field and Doyle scored, and
Stulz foolishly rolled one to O'Neill,
spelling the fun.
1t was in the sixth that the visitors
took their two TALES, and how they did
it is easily told. Hilderbrand fouled
out to Stanley, and Muller rolled a
beauty to Doyle and was dead one at
first Then Doyle accommodated O,Neill
with free transportation to first, and
with two men out Student Swindells
faced the music And, in the language
of the street, he didn't do a thing to
it. Just caught it below the belt and
sent it spinning through the ether far
over the left field fence where the
daisies grow, and he and Tip" ran
around just to keep in practice
It was in the ninth that the locals
took the seventh run.
Umpire Patsy Cahill, while ragged on
balls and strikes, was inclined to give
the locals just a. little bit the best of it
all through O'Neil and Riley were not
long i'll finding out how matters stood
and the bowls they let loose assailed the
grand stand and broke in ripples
against the County Hospital, a mile
away.
