PROVIDENCE 8, TORONTO 4

!. Providence was up and doing again
yesterday and succeeded In blanketing the
gngery Canadians from Toronto for the
\ second time The manner i'm which the
locals slashed out opportune hits and ran
bases was a revelation and gave ample
evidence that they have at. last aband-
oned the losing rut and are running full
tilt for the lead once more. Sullivan. who
was on the slab for the Canucks pitched
good game but Sutor Sullivan aided by
Jack Walters and Henry had on their bat
ting togs and their timely hits sent i'm
of the 6 runs. Sutor was particularly ef-
fective and cracked out "a quartet of safe
one In four times at bat.
Ed Dunkle was elected speed dispenser
for Murrays men and although he was
touched up "A trine more than Sullivan he
kept the bingles scattered and forced the
Toronto bat wielders 20 pop up puny
flies when hit would have changed the

with thefspccd of a prairie fire and pill
fered no less than six off the genial Mr..

Thursday puts Providence i'm the running
again and the three straight defeats sus-
tanned by Rochester at the hands of
Hartford makes the separating margin
very small
