Most of Them known Locally.
The Chatham Artillery had an off
day for playing ball yesterday and so
lost a game to the c. L. AS by the
largest and most one-sided scorethat
has been made this season, ii to 2.
Bad fielding and errors at critical
times on the part of the Chathams, and
good hitting and base running on the
part of the c. L. As explains the score.
The C. L. AS were especially strong
at the bat, and not only made a greater
number of hits than they have scored
in any of their former games. but also
managed to break the batting record
for this season by getting home run.
This was made by Frank McIntire in
the third inning. With one man on
base he put the ball over left field fence
within about thirty feet of the foul
line. He also made a three-base hit in
the first inning.
Library boys Fireworks.
The Library boys began the fireworks
in the very first inning when they
scored four runs. j. Downey, the first
man up, was out pitcher to first;
O'Brien went to first being hit by a
pitched ball. j. McIntire hit past third
and took two bases. while O'Brien
scored; Butler struck out, but Charlton
raped one to center field for two
bases. With f. McIntire at the bat ].
McIntire stole home. then the batter
raped out a three Dagger to left field
and Charlton came home, McIntire fol-
lowing him a minute later on passed
ball of McBride's. Leonard hit to
short who missed the ball, and the side
was retired by w. Downey, who went
out third to first.
The Chathams got their first run in
the second inning. Kayton got to first
on balls. then Sullivan hit a corking
two-bagger to right field on which
Kayton came home. Mcbride was out
foul to catcher: Germany went out
short to first, and Barrett on a pop
fly to pitcher.
Were IN Against 1t.
The Chathams realized after the first
inning that they were up against
proposition, and would have to play
ball and good ball for the remainder
of the game If they wanted to win,
braced themselves and did pretty well
J.. A s got in five more runs and aft
erward it was merely a question of how
bad a beat it would be.
Charlton started the deal by hitting
safe past second: F. McIntire struck
out, and Leonard went out on a fly to
second, which Sullivan gathered in in
fine style after a run. Then w. Downey
hit safe to right field and McGrath
got to first on balls. which filled the
bases j. Downey put up a
little infield dy that should have been
an easy out, but it was not caught
and after being fielded was thrown
wildly, and Charlton, w. Downey and
McGrath came home. OBrien was Civ
en- first, J. McIntire hit safe past Sec
ond and j. Downey and O'Brien scored
Butler retired the side by striking out.
the Chathams played better ball dur
ing the remainder of the game, but
they were too far behind in the score
