Amidst a pandemonium like human
a victory over Springfield at the oval
yesterday afternoon, and stepped back
into fourth position. The tumult came
from the thousand or more newsboys
who were present as invited guests to
enjoy the game-and they evidently did
enjoy it to the full, if the noise they
made be any criterion. Few of them
appreciated the fine points of play, and
probably not half followed the game
at all; but, they were there to make
their presence known and they did it.
Frisbee appeared in the game again
by Kind permission of Manager Selee,
and received an enthusiastic greeting
He made two pretty and timely hits,
was marvelously active on the bases,
and made two hard running catches of
flies such as have beer accustomed of
late to count as two-baggers in oppon-
ents' scores. There wasn't a rooter on
the ground but felt Frisbee's presence

Another newcomer held down second
base, and this man seems like a find.
He is Dan Murphy OF North Attleboro,
a good hitter and a clean federal
least he gave that impression yesterday
AT the bat he scored a double and a
triple, both of them long, hard hits.
Nervousness made him a little slow in
the field, but he covers considerable
ground, can hold thrown balls, and ap-

that was gilt-edged. Miller pitched an
excellent, steady game and everybody
was glad to see him win it. Though he
was by no means a puzzle to the
Ponies, he kept the hits well scattered,
and no one felt anxious except in the
seventh inning, when Kloby started to
warm up. But as it proved, it was
Springtleld's dying gasp. McDermott.
on the other hand, was not only hit
hard apparently at will, but was also
horribly wild, hitting three men and
issuing eight passes. Shannon had an
off day, and Dolan dropped two easy
flies.
For five innings zeroes were all the
Ponies could produce, although in the
fourth they had men on second and
third with none out, and Miller did the
best pitching of the game. In the sixth
they broke the ice twice on a. base on
balls, a double and a single, and in the
next they made the spectators shudder
for minute. McDermott and Shannon
singled and moved up on a wild pitch
Curley hit to Carr, and McDermott
scored; Campbell hit hard against the
fence for two bases bringing in Shan

to make an error. which he accepted

There was general sigh of relief when
Myers struck out.
Worcester started in for business at
once. Sharrott waited patiently and
successfully, stole second, took third
on Kuhns out, and scored on passed
ball. Rickert drew a base, and Frisbee
hit safely to center. The pair worked a
double steal and scored on Carr S

more in the fourth, and in the seventh,

Dermott sent Sharrott to first for the
fourth time, and Kuhns made his third
sacrifice. Riekert got his second pass,
and Frisbee's hit scored Sharrott. Carr
