ming more friends in every game, may
not be very graceful in his delivery,
but the audience doesn't expect to see
graceful movements. They go to see
hard ball playing The young man is
a hard worker, hence he is popular.
Behind the plate receiving Eggers
was Doc Brownell who, fan re-
marked, is in his second youth. 1t was
rumored Saturday in the grandstand
that Brownell caught years ago for
a college team. Perhaps he did, but
Saturday six of the Niagaras attempt
ed to steal sacks, and Doc" only nailed
Ave of them, the sixth escaping because
the ball got to the bag only one second
ahead OF the runner who slid under
Dunn, who was so overjoyed at the
| thought of winning a game that he for
got to touch the man. None of the
! throws to second was more than per-
feet, nor did they beat the runner by
more than Al minutes. He also faced
the pitcher six times but only made
| FIVE hits, two of them two baggers.
In the seventh inning with two OH
bases and with the words of "Auld
Lang Syne" about to drop from his
lips, "Doc," in response to rooter
who called after this fashion: For
old times sake, Doc" landed hard on
the ball for pretty single sending in
two scores. And yet after it was all
over some South End fan made the
wild assertion that "Doc' had played
n great game.
The game was never in doubt after
the third inning when South End made
four which they increased somewhat in
the seventh by adding five. The Mag.
aras managed to send three over the
rubber in the nine innings.
The score was South Ends 10; Mag
aras, 3.
TO CUT OUT SILVER LAKE.
silver lake will probably see bat few
more Of the games of the City league.
The management has concluded that
the venture has not been a paying one,
and they have besides been unable to
get along well with the proprietor of
the resort, with whom they have clash
ed several times. 1t is likely that the
Silver lake games may be abandoned
at any time, and If this Is done there
will be general revision of the sched-
ule for the remainder of the season.
There will be II change, also, in the
playing of the mid-week games and
these will be with outside teams more
than with Akron teams. The season
as n whole has been successful, and
the players have received sums OF
more or less magnitude for the work
they have done so far.
KENT 23--EAST AKRON 1G.
"Kent" Is Il small word. 1t contains
only four little letters and Is seeming
ly unimportant. yet when that word
is printed across the breast Of base
ball suit and the suit Is worn by n
young man with a determined look
Akron teams are seemingly seized with
terror, and lose games simply be-
. cause of that terror.
! This has been demonstrated time
and again, and most forclble evi
dence of its truth was given on the
East Akron grounds Saturday after
noon, when the East AlSrons and the
Kents clashcd again.
There was a big crowd present, ant
4 there were plenty of runs made, 'bu
y as usual, East Akron got the small
q end OF the score and Kent was al
q easy winner by % to 10.
