but 1t was false alarm. He steadied down
Immediately and the hopes of the fans
were sent glimmering. Bowling was sup
ported in superb style by his team, es-
pecially the outfielders. Clarke and Hoy
each made catches bordering on the mir

taken in in easy fashion, the Senators
seemed TO lose heart.

Barry resumed his position at first base. He
played the bag in good style, and moreover
secured two OF the six hits made by the
locals. McGann autographed yesterday that

the final game with the Colonels Monday.
