flies, which were gathered In by the
Pennsylvanians. Everson did the serv-
ing for the home team, and allowed but
four hits. Two of these were gathered
by Jefferies, who landed on the horse
hide for a double and three base hit.
l1verson had eleven strike-outs. and is
sued but one pass, while Hafer only
famed one man.
Tierney was very much in the game,
getting two Of the four hits, and play
ing good field game. The errors that
were responsible for the defeat OF the
home team were made by Gastmeyer
and Hoffman, both of whom have here
