Providence had a commanding lead yes
terday when Kloby essayed to twirl. Good
fielding and also good twlring held the
Farmers down and still another game
was added TO the Providence list.
Malachi Kittredge certainly loses hard.
Yesterday. when things went wrong. Kit
did not look like very peaceful member
of society.
Hartford and Rochester absolutely re-
fuse 10 drop games and the locals must
win today 20 hold their present lead.
Worcester today for the last time. Too
bad, Too bad The Farmers have been
very easy for the locals, but they have
made some of the other teams do some
tall hustling.
The entire Worcester team was In at
tendance at last evenings performance OF
"The Village Postmaster" at the Provi-
dence Opepa House. Felix Wendelschaefer
rendered the team this courtesy.
All of the Worcester pitchers seem to
work a high ball with more or less regu-
larity. Horton especially favors this style
TO and usually gets one or two away up
in each game.
Leahy was on the line for little while
yesterday and did some really good
coaching.
Horton may go against the locals again
today as ne only pitched three innings
yesterday "Herk can put up quite

twirls
Danny Friend or Latimer will oppose
the Worcester men. Friend lost
the last game he pitched against the
Farmers by allowing them to score 4
runs In one inning. after the Grays had
an apparently safe lead.
Cincinnati will be at Rocky Point to-
morros = I'm fighting trim and the Grays
should give them quite tussle for the
game. Corridor or Latimer may do the
twirl;ng. as the other twirlers will be
saved for the Rochester series
day. Tuesday and Wednesday and sorDe
warm contests must result.
On Thursday. Friday and Saturday the
Grays wi. be at home for the last three
games of the season here, Syracuse will
be their opponents and II they play with
their present speed the Grays will have
to put up a fast article of ball to win.
