The c. L. A ball players took the
Fsinbridge aggregation into camp yes
terday by the score of 10 to 3. 1t was
50 easy for the locals that toward the
end Of the game many of the specta-
-ors left after seeing that the visitors
hadn't a ghost of chance TO win, and
that it was merely question of how
many runs the locals would pile up be-
fore they got tired and quit.
]. Bower, pitcher for the visitors,
had been heralded by his team mates
and friends as a man with a reputa-
ton. He was supposed TO be invincible
so much so that both the players and
their friends on the way to the ball
grounds discussed what they were go
irg 10 do after they had taken the two
games from Savannah. Possibly they
had reason to think thus for, besides
the pitcher, there is another Bower on
the team. and with two bowers it was
not unnatural for the visitors to ex-
pecr to win the trick.

wouldn't bite at Bowers curves and
when he put straight balls over the
plate they were hammered out for hits

Bower is not to be blamed entirely
for this. though, for he received a
support IN the field that was ragged
enough TO take the heart out of any
pitcher. Little pop flies that should
have been easily felded by either of
two, some times three, fielders, were
allowed to drop, while the men stood
around and wondered which of them
was supposed to go for the ball. On
the other hand McGrath received al
most faultless support. McGrath not
only pitched a good game but batted
splendidly as well.
The first time he went to the bat in
the second inning, with two men out
and only one man on base he sent q
slashing two-bagger to center-right
field that scored the man; and again

been captured but wasn't. He slashed
another long fly to center field in the
sixth, but this WAS caught In the
eighth, though, he raped one to short
and was safe at first, again scoring a
man by the hit.
The Visitors Waterloo.
In the first few innings the score
was close and the game looked to
be anybody's but in the fourth inning
the visitors met their waterloo. Baker

out on a fly to the catcher; Leonard
was safe on a little fly that first

Downey soaked a nice one to centre

scored. McIntire was caught out at
third.
The other runs of the locals were
scored one at a time. The visitors
scored one run in the first inning and
two in the last. In the ninth Rawls,
the first batter, went out on a bounder
10 Baker who captured the ball we'll
down second base line but beat the
runner to first; Perry hit safe along
third base line, and Daniels got a gift
OF first; Hunter was safe on a little
infeld fly that nobody got and so the
bases were filled with only one man
out. Then Right" Bower hit safe to
LETT field and Perry and Daniels came

Tonge struck out
The visitors had to stand for a lot
OF guying on the part of the small boy
rooters. They took it good-na turedly,
however. The game was attended by
between Ave and six hundred people.
Another game will take place this af-
ternoon, beginning at o'clock.
Daniels will be in the box for Balm
bridge and probably Baker for the
C. L. AS.
