The Ponies turned the tables on the
Graybacks at Adelaide Park yesterday
afternoon and took the local team into
camp by the score of ? to o. They were
fast in all departments and were wide
awake on the coaching lines. In this
particular the Providence team was
far behind the visitors and did little
coaching on the side lines.
"Stlver" Braun was Murray's choice
and he pitched fair ball. He appeared
10 have one OF his off days and his
work affected the remainder of the
team. He was gwen errorless support
and had the batting been more timely
he would have won the game.
The "only" Foreman was on the rub
ber for the Ponies and did extremely
well. Although the local team got ten
hits off his delivery he kept them fair

the Providence players to put the ball
high in the air. when nice clean single
would have netted Providence one or
two runs and put them in the game.

went after 1t. Poor coaching allowed
the ball to drop between them and Da-

O'clock at Adelaide Park. and both
