tire.
The artillerymen turned their guns
on the Library boys at the Bolton
Street Park yesterday afternoon, pick
ing off singles and doubles with a ra-
pidity that created disorder in the ranks
of the champions, and wound up one
of the prettiest games seen here this
season, with a score of 8 to 2.
The defeat of the Librarians was not
due to the entries in the error column,
but to the superb twirling of Barrett,
who let his opponents down with only
four hits, and retired eleven on strikes,
a record unequaled here this season.
The Artillery boys did their all in
the first. and after that were all in.
Groves and Rossiter were the only two
men who experienced the sensation OF
crossing the plate. One, two, three
was the order in which the team was
retired each time at the bat in the re-
naming eight innings.
When the Librarians made their
brilliant start in the first half of the
first, and the Artillerymen were unable
to get beyond first, loyal supporters of
the team almost lost hope, and many
expressions were heard to the effect
that the G. l.. AS had returned TO
their old time form, and would walk
away with the game.
Playing Was Fast.
From the first to the fifth the play
was fast. and of the neatest possible
order, and so regularly did each side
come in and go out that it looked as II
the final result would stand as it was
in the first. In the fifth Mcbride COM
menced the fireworks for the Chathams,
but only succeeded in landing one run.
In the sixth Downey tied the score on
Krenson's hit, and the customary up
roar from the side lines commenced.
Vainly did the Librarians strive to
assume the lead again in their half OF
the sixth, but Ill luck followed them.
and not a single little scratch hit could
they secure to assist in bringing Kelly,
who went to first on balls, home. In
the seventh the Artillerymen cinched
| their victory by adding three TALES
to their list. and the hopes of the LII
brarians went below the half way
mark. This ended the run getting on
both sides, and the relative positions
of the two teams was materially
changed in the official standing In the
city league.
Mcbride Hit Well.
Deserving of especial note was the
hitting of Mcbride, for the artillery
men. Out of three times up he Sc
cured three clean singles at effective
stages, and it was largely due to his
ability to connect with the sphere that
the winning runs of the Chathams Were
| made.
Charlton was so badly disabled while
running down to third in the thirt
inning that he had to be taken ou
of the game. In some way he turned
his ankle and badly sprained it. Kelly
was substituted, going into right field
and Wilkinson taking Charlton's place
behind the bat.
Despite the tremendous crowds tha'

was recordbreaking.
