tending, in spite of the fact that the
, weather was anything but ideal Tor

} score of to g. and every one went
home happy in consequence.
The Whitins management was ahA-
ious to cope the last game OF the sea

solve. But five hits were made off his
delivery, two of them by Jim STANFORD,
one good for an extra sack, and two
by Pappalau. Both Wrigley ana
O'Reilly were shut out without hit.

ly style by the home team, nine hits
