own grounds Saturday afternoon, in the
second game Of the season, at the hands Of

life in it. They made only three hits dur
ing the game to the visitors nine. Both
pitchers struck out seven men each but
Goddard's poor support made it up hill
work for their pitcher. Lewis held the
hits down to five until the last inning
when Edmunds pounded out four more.

ming bases, stealing second at will and
third twice, each meaning score. Bu-
chanan played his usual good game behind
the bat and Edmunds didn't dare to try to
steal second, Edmunds played an almost
errOrIess game. Watkins making their on
~ error by letting groundeT 60 through
him. The crowd which was allowed to
