Hone and courage went up like bal
Ioon and everyone began to reckon the
chances of winning out. Phelan had
started the game for the home team
and five scattering hits had been taken
off him. There was nothing very terri-
fv,ng in this but somehow the tea'"
couldn't seem to come up to us stan
dord behind him. Russell went into the
box in the fifth and from that tiihe
an things looked better. The team sase
him better support and seemed 10 nav
Ihct,er courage. Phelan is GOOD pitcn
or without doubt and is thor"us"
hoIl player But he can't seem 10 HIM
,bc team work the way Russell does
Perhaps after they get better acquaI"''
"a they will work better with fheiaii.

with o score still six and seven.
visitors were very careful OF thelr ie'i'

hail advanced them both n base' 'e"'
ING Sutton on third and Moore on So
ond. This had been enough to A'o
charlton and the Geralds gave up the
EIarre.. mart OF their hope OF wihhis.
THAT is the supporters did, but the
,cam kent on saving wood just the
cam. One game had been pulled OUT
of the fire and il could be done again.
Rut Jones took hit that sent In TWO
marc rms. making the total 10 for inc
visitors. pugas came up next ana pu'

Dugas going out at first ana Jones Ut
third This ended a bad inning Win u
ilouiish but there wasn't much nope
left among the supporters OF the ffu'
a lead OF four scores looked pretiy pls
in the kind Of a game that was p'ihs
p,aved. but still there was chahc-
if il was a slim one. The visitof3 hah
been pounded tn pieces once ana y
could perhaps be done again ana IL
was.
| Phelan was the first man up anu
| went down on an error. There was eN-
citement to burn about this time ana
everyone was yelling Ia heat German
street band. Russell died on big ny
to center Allen got n hit Goodrich foi-
lowed suit and McBain got his base
on an error by Haycock. Things We're
coming along very nicely. thank you.
| These two hits had scored Pheian ana
there were more in sight a pass d bah
helped things out immensely. -Four
stolen bases and an attempted Out
pushed the good work along. 50 that
| when the dust settled the Geralds had
four scores ana it was just an even 10
apiece. That WIGS pulling out OF a bac
hole with a vengeance.
The visitors managed to scrapn out
one run in their half Of the ninth and
then came the fiisco that ended the
game with the Geralds the winners
! Flood made on. Of the hand~omcSt
catches in the second inning ever seen
on the grounds where some fast teams
have played. 1t was n high fly from
Uaycock's bat. If ii had gone by it
would have been a home run. But
| Flood got after il and by running hard
and stretching his right arm until it
was about an inch longer than ii really
ought 10 be. he managed 10 get The ball
in one hand and hold onto it, 1t was a
catch that National Lacquer well
might be proud Of. The score:
