Boyle was third out. Three runs. With
two out, Boyle let Grey's hit through
him and then failed to cover the base
on Smiths grounder, forcing Klopf to
throw hastily and low to first. No harm
resulted, as Hannivan was third out.
The second was unimportant, save for
a neat double play by Boyle, Klopf and
Carr In the third, Toronto broke the
Ice. With one out, Bannon got a. life
on Cars failure to stop a throw, and
then Miller made a balk Wagner hit
an easy single. but Frisbee fumbled the
pail, and Bannon scored. Worcester

In the fourth, Worcester got out of
a tight place. Hannivan led off with
a sharp single. Roat flied to Frisbee

In the sixth, Miller gave three bases
on balls, and it was feared that history
was repeating itself; but the dangerous
men went out on pop flies, and again
toronto was banked with the bases
full. Two brilliant stops and throws by
klopf frightened the uneventful sew
enth, and after Toronto had been dis

her fourth run and what everybody sup
posed was the winning lead, when Ban
non made a three-baSe throw over first
and then fumbled Cars hit directly
afterwards, But fate decided otherwise
for the ninth inning was productive of
more excitement than some people get
in lifetime, and the spectators hearts
sank like lead, only to rise again in tri-
umph later, causing old animosities to
be forgiven and everybody to leave the
grounds in the best possible humor with
himself and the whole world besides.
Bannon hit slowly to short and beat
out the throw Everybody groaned
when Wagner placed him on third with
the only double Of the game which
groan was intensified when Frisbee
made a square muff of Grey's fly and
Bannon scored. Smith remembered
what used to be Worcester's vulnerable
spot and hit to Boyle. The second base

more men came in, placing Toronto in
the lead Hannivan singled, scoring
Smith; then after two men went out on
flies, Rothfuss hit safely, bringing in
Hannivan with the fifth run of the in
ming. Alloway, the ninth man up, flied
to Klopf. Score, Toronto T. Worcester 4,
and gloom on the grandstand was 10
feet thick
Somebody in the stand called on
Leonard 80 send in your good batters, .
and the manager took advice
and sent Kloby up in place of Boyle,
while the crowd, f-heartedly, began
to root. The eX-Chicagoan justified his
selection by FASTING a pretty one to
center. Lampe went UP for Miller and
quickly walked, for Alloway was ner-
vous. The din now was tremendous.
ShaRrott was too eager and struck out,
and it was up to kuhns to repeat his
unrivaled speciality of hitting over the
fence; but he concluded a single would
do and the bases were flied, Klobedanz
wisely refusing to take chances by try
ing to score from second. Joe Rickert
proved equal to the emergency and nit
sharply past Roat. Klobedanz scored
and Lampe tried to, but was tripped up
by Smiths despicable tactics above re-
ferred to. Belts was looking, however,
and called Jack in. Roat juggled an
easy one from FriSbee's bat and the
bases were again filled. Then Carr hit
with all his might at Bannon. The ball
bounded sharply over the shortstop's
head and Rickert chased madly after
Kuhns with the winning run. Worcester
was victor.
