of Five to Three.
GOOD WORK OF PITCHERS

HITS IN GAME.
Standing of the Clubs.

Dan hickey SAT over on the east
bench in pensive attitude. with trou-
bIed metn. and saw his trusted crowd
let the Indians from POcatelIo stand on
their necks without restraint. The
score was 3 to 3 and on the whole If
was clean, excellent ball with little
Harmon. the bundle of nerves who
holds down the rubber for Trapp's
braves, doing the best of the work and
dazzling the crowd of 500 who saw the
game Through it all, he allowed but
six hits and struck out seven men.
They couldn't find him at alI-the

no reason why Harmon could not have
reduced the Rios score As it was. the
best the Hickey boys got was singles.

them. and his support was anything
