o,,.ra is only one way for the Clip
.~ lads to get revenge for their
i.,S,rture of yesterday. and that is to
tb. weather man. Just when
.. had the Rios going, in the pref
t,rr innings they over played, tine

Would Have Led the League.
o., MAS indeed sad when the far-be-
MS made such d splendid beginning
...a.,r5s retrieving their shattered rep
'.,.tian and leading the league in the
u-c,rd half Of the season. The crowd
mas anxious to have them play it out,
Nd muirr Griffin was with them, ap-
.IrautIv pOstuOning the game only
iiacr the PLAYERS were drenched.
Trsre were reasons, by the way, for
.bs downfall of the Rios. In the first.
,rqra they had no PendergTaft in the
t1y Sears. the heavy man, was
lr1ught i'm from left field to do Penny's
work. the latter laying off, and he man
,~sd TO let six men saunter down to
f-sf Il was his first attempt, how
ever. and he may be forgiven.
Walter Seare's absence must also be
aiken into consideration, he having
turt his foot severely. Shannon was
Isbiud the bat for the Rios. 1t is likely
That Scare will not be able to play for
a couple of weeks.
Short Lines Only Error.
But aside from all this, it is to be re-
mambered that the Short Lines played
brilliant ball. The only error made in
their game was by Dyer, the new sec
o1i baseman, who began the season
with ogden. FeTrin sent a nice one
through the diamond to him, and but
for the wet grass and mud he would
have nailed j. IN time to get the runner
az first As it was, he gave a roller
skate exhibition. The error was not
costly. as the game was called before
Fo~iu got around.
In the first inning DYER and Barnes
were struck out by Sears, and the
crowd yelled for him. The applause
subsidized a moment later when he let
Kim and Asbury go to first without a
single punch at the sphere. So Searsie
FELL From that time on Clips men
found him without any great effort.
"DUd' RiSley felt powerful good
when it started. 1t was bud who gave
kimere~ blind staggers by pounding
out a three-bagger the first time he
came up. In the third he repeated the
performance with a sad variation. Kim
rrer tossed him a lulu, as Kim will do
at times, and the sprightly bud was
not the one to let it pass. The ball lit
out by the southeast gate, and while
The crowd drowned the yells of the
C05cheTs Dud kept going. He reached
third before the ball got back to sec
onl.
Risley's Sensational Collapse.
tt Was an even break between a bull
and . sensation, and Dud took a
chance Now. nobody doubts that bud
can set over the ground with ginger
when IL comes to that, but just as he
started home little Miller got his mits
on the ball. \ second later the catcher
bad 1t and bud did the next best thing
he slid. All in vain. With an awful
erlnt Berkeley buried the sphere in the
small of buds back, and a great big
70 went down on the score book.
There was kick on Risley's part for a
change, but he couldn't feaZe Charley
Griffin.
Neither side scored in the second,
thanks 90 clean fielding. Bennett was
caught by Foxy Kim playing village
Gown on second; that's how he retired

taxing a lead Of fifteen feet while Miller

Bert-Afraid-of-R Rain.
Nargetts was nailed much after the
same fashion in the fourth and final
NHlns. He took the first two bags on
e. 'u--naSe hit, and went down to third
