THEY EvEAED THINGS UP
Upper Works Takes a Game
From the Lower Works.
SKELLEYS FATAL EIGHTH
The Contest Was an Exceedingly Inter.
esting One Until the Winners
Began to Find Their Oppos-
ing Pitcher.

The Upper Works baseball club
| evened up matters with the Lower
| Works yesterday in game, six in
nings of which were as pretty as any
major league team could put up. Both
| Lynch for the winners and Shelley for
| the vanquished pitched excellent ball,
| the former maintaining his strength
| throughout the entire game, but Skel-
| ley was compelled to retire in the
| eighth, on account of a sore arm, after
| he had been found for a good many
hits. Errors were numerous on both
sides, particularly so on the part of the
| Lower Works men, whose fumbles were
very costly. Not a score was made up
| to the fifth, when the Upper Works Sc
| cured two runs on errors. Prior to that
| time the batsmen were retired in one,
| two three order. After that there was
| little more hitting. and when the
| eighth arrived the score stood to in
| favor of the Uppers. The eighth was
fatal one for Shelley, however. as his
opponents touched him up for five hits
| one of them home run and another a
tWo-bagger, resulting in a total of six
| runs for the inning. Gene McHale re-
| placed Shelley in the box and was hit
| for four more runs. The Lower Works
got their three runs in the seventh.
The catching of Bill" Dwyer and
| Bert Storey was feature of the game,
both these backstops putting up a re-
markably fine game. Another feature
was the home run of Lynch.
The day was a fine one for baseball
playing and the crowd enjoyed itself
Immensely, the only complaint that

The game to decide the tie, it is ex-
pected, will be played next Sunday,
and both teams are already making
preparations to patch up their weak
spots.
Without any attempt to initiate the
interesting style of the eminent jour-
nalist who reports the Dreyfus trial,
1t may be said that the evidence in de-
tail was as follows: For the Upper
Works McHale struck out, much to eV-
erybodys surprise. Martin hit to Skel-
ley, and he was a dead one. Lynch got
transporta ton to first and stole second.
Emerson hit to Sullivan, who fumbled
the ball, after which Norbeck gave
Shelley one and it was off. Shelley
started in with the stick for the Lower
Works. He swatted a big hole in the
air three times. Dwyer followed him
and laid a nice, easy one right in
Toomey's hand, who threw him out.
Kilcoyne also made three desperate
passes through the atmosphere and ac-
complshed the same result that Skel-
ley had.
Storey's two-bagger for the Upper
Works didn't make a dent in the Sec
ond, because Maloney, Toomey and In
man struck out Sullivan started the
second inning off with fly, which
Emerson ate up with great relish.
Keane followed with a liner to Maloney,
with the same result. McHale nit 10
Toomey, but the shortstop fumbled it
and Gene got life. 1t did no good,
however. for Dawson hit to Keane, who
gracefully sent it over to Kilcoyne.
In the third McHale flew out to Daw-
son; Martin hit to Keane, who passed
il over ito Kilcoyne,, and Lynch frac-
tured the ozone. On the other hand,
Railey sent an easy one to Maioney,
but Sam was too strong and ne threw
it away over Inman's head and Railey
went to third. He found his coffin
there, as Murphy struck out, Skelley
flew out to Maloney and Dwyer hit to
Lynch, who neatly dispatched him at
first.
Keane fumbled Emerson's hit in the
fourth, but Shelley caught the doctor
mapping at first. Norbeck tried to stop
the ball with his body instead of his
hat and the umpire called him out,
after which Maloney sent an easy one
down the first-base line. k1lcoyne
started the fourth with red-hot one
that was a bit too swift for Lynch TO
handle, but Toomey was the man De
hind the gun, and Mickeys not one
didn't count. Sullivan picked out
safe place in left field. but keane struck
out, and Storey caught sullivan trying
ho
In their half of the fifth the Upper
Works men did a little business. storey
hit one to right field that was gooo Tor
a bag all right, but Murphy tried TO
stop it by falling on it, with the result
that the ball bounded with the grace OF
a deer toward the railroad track. Mur-
nhv then stood and watched Its fasci-
hating ORGANIZATIONS, while Railey
came from deep center to field the bail.
In the meantime Storey ambled nome
wards at the speed of an automooile.
Toomey flew out to McHale. lhnai

kilcoyne grabbed McHale's foul ana
that made two out. Iheh MAJ I'm ,,t svn
one into right for two bases. SULLIVAN
fumbled Lynch's grass-cutter and IN
man scored, Martin going TO thlru'
Lynch stole second, but Emerson new
out to Railey. At the END OF TINS mar
there was great sensation. IN order 10
show his brother, Jimmy, that there
was no hard feeling between them,
Gene McIIale sent a skyscrapef OUT
into left. and just to show Gene right
hack. Jimmy ran about mile ana
quarter and ate it up. Dawson peat
viciously at space three times and then
sat down. Railey chose nice one ana
hit safe to left, but Storey cut his VINO
off when he got too far away from first.
Norbeck started out in the sixth for
the Upper Works by hitting to Nc
Hale, who threw him out. MaloneS
struck out. Right field seemed to have
a particular attraction for Storey, and
he sent another into Murphy's garden;
That gentleman could easily have raked
tbe long fly in, but misjudged it, and
if rolled merrily away. When he mn
ally captured it, he threw 1t to SUN
van. and the second baseman in turn
threw it a couple of miles over Bill
Dwyer's head, in an effort to cut Sto-
rev off at the plate. Toomey got pass
to first, but he died there, as lnman
didn't wait for a good one, and was
retired on three strikes. The sixth
