Nineteen to eleven was the score and

baan tLere-that was an awful reality
that lasted ten minutes over two hours
and seemed like a fortnight. Joe Smith
left when the game was half over and
when Joe will desert a ball game at
that stage. why, it's hardly worth see
iug.
In the first place. it started out bad.

the Shorts made five errors in the
most uegligee sort of fashion, letting in
two runs, which could easily have been
doubled but the Rios got sympathetic
and let up for a while. In every sue
cpeiinC inning the Hickey lads brought
in q one run or more, going up as high
as seven in one interval, until the last,
when they began TO get about as weary
as the fans and considerably cut IL

Bimehy the Westerns played horse
This was in the sixth and they let irl
three Short Line runs just for sport.
They repeated this performance in the
seventh and six more went down on
the Shorts side of the score board. Two
more came in in the eighth and a
shut-out followed in the last
The poor old Clips had a bad time
getting man to do the heavies on
the rubber and they changed several
positions before the contest was over
Dan Taylor opened things on the slab
and gave nine bases on balls in seven
innings in addition to this. he gave
an even dozen of hits, which the Rios
punched some. but not very much.
So Dan went out and kimerer came
in. Kim was an Improvement in the
art of manipulating the hOrsehide mys-
terioUSly
He pitched but two innings, and but
one hit was secured from him. He let
one man walk and his miserable sup
port allowed a run. Other changes
were also made. ASbury taking Kims
place in the middle garden, Kim going
91 first and later into the box. Mari
gettS going from first to catch. Taylor
occupying two innings on the initial and
Berkeley going out of the game al
together after six innings.
Umpiring Was Satisfactory.

game was am Improvement over any of
