Elmer Meredith and young McNich-
OILS were the scin,lllatlng stars IN yes
terday afternoons contest with the lob
ster crew from up ogden way But
for those two young men there would
have been very little TO the game
Meredith ladled out some Of the most
astounding curves the Holsters ever
tried to unrayel For five innings they
faced him with fear and trembling be-
cause It looked nightly like a shut
out. Up to that time not a hit was
registered against him. He seemed to
measure every man who faced him ana
had them swinging like a gang OF
spike drivers. In three innings nine
men faced him and We're benched With
out getting a chance for first base, lie
bit off one or two line drives and made
pretty run for first, retiring man
with Hickeys assistance.
But it was McNichos who is now
posing between second and third bases.
who sent the fans into transports Of de-
light by his wonderful work. Never has
fielder covered so much ground on
local diamond as did this ex-Lagoon-
tie yesterday. Ii may be said his won
derful work saved the game.
In the third inning men were on Sec

double play.

ana ozark on second with nobody down.
a run looked certain, Schnables hit a
swift one b. left. II Travelled with the
speed Of lightning and McGregor start
ed for home McNichols was seen 20
shoot into the air, his long arm shot
out ana the ball stopped. Before he
hardly touched the ground the sphere
was shot to Williams at third and Nc
Gregor was caught. Evans came up
next and went out from Williams TO
Hickey. The crowd simply went wild
with excitement over the phenomenal
work Of McNichols, and lie was APP
plauded vigorously.
Probably the longest run and catch Of
the season came In the ninth when Nc
Greg0r smCte out a foul over toward
the gate In the northeast corner of the
grounds. Weaver, Williams and Me-
/ Nichols ran after II, but the latter was
| more fleet Of foot and got there first.
! II seemed he would never stop running
and some individual in the grand stand
couldn't see why the fool wanted to
run after that ball" But suddenly Nc

a seemingly impossible reach and the

The locals started their work in the
| first inning and got their runs after two
! men were down. Hickey led ON but
went out on a grounder TO Clark Weav-

but was assaulted In the hip and took

/ high one to Schnables but Billy Nc
