Then Manager Armour conceived the
idea that LuDdbon might turn the tide
in favor of hS men. SO he ordered him
TO try his hand at shooting the balls
over the rubber. Lundbon was not
much more successful than his prede-
cessor. for the locals continued to hit
with a regularity and persistency that
brought a great COB OF hope and JOY to
their followers.

baseball.
Orth did some excellent pitching
stunts, particularly in the third inning.
when he struck out Pickering. Hemp
hill. and Flick in succession. Through
out the game he displayed good control,
and had plenty 9f speed. Clarke, as
usual. caught a splendid game and had
q little to say when il came TO getting
hits.
