a-disgrace -not- to- win the pennant bunch
from Columbus, just where they had left
off the day before. In the interval be-
tween the two games Harvey Bailey had
been removed from the rubber by Manager
Leonard, and Rev. Mr.. Crabill. who had
not lost a game during the season. as
signed to duty on the rubber. With their
minds busy with thoughts Of how 1t would
seem to be out of last place, the millers
never noticed the change. but kept on
lining out full grown hits just as If Bailey
had continued in the game.
About the middle of the eighth round
the nnillers realized that the man who
was rolling them down the alley for the
discoveries was throwing with his right
that time, however, the locals had accu-
mulated sixteen hits. including four
doubles and triple. These netted eleven
runs-enough to win any ordinary game,
and enough to win three or four when the
opposing batsmen are unable to connect

Creery, each of the three making two
singles and a double. McIntyre's hits,
however, were all timely. The big Scotch
man came to bat four times with men on
the sacks, and three times he hit safely,
batting in four runs during the game be-
side scoring one himself. Mcintyre also
played a neat game at third.
