series stood three and three when the

Both Iberg and KneI pitched ball that
was really wonderful. Neither ever wav-

in the final round. when two errors lost
the game for the veteran southpaw Just
when he was beginning to get more ef-
fective, IL anything.
San Francisco opened up strongly, but
after the first inning they scored no mora
runs till Lynch rushed home in the thir-
tenth.
In the first Meany was passed, and r.
win responded with drive to the score
board for two bases. This set the crowd
going. and when Krug hit to Egan and
Meany beat the throw to the plate their
enthusiasm was beyond control. Then
ZearfOss lined a tOrrid one direct at knelI.
and while he was hooking IL up with his
left nttt and delivering it to the first bag
Irwin landed with the only runs the home
team made in twelve rounds.
Graham opened hostilities in the fourth
spasm with a drive over first. good for
two bases While the excitement was still
in full bloom Casey came through with
another of the same caliber to the score
board, and Graham raced to the finish.
The game was practically over and the
crowd was ready to depart in the first
half Of the ninth when the Senators sud-
denly tied up the result. With one gone,
Truck Egan pasted one at Irwin that
nearly lifted him up bodily. Then Truck
stole second. Bang! went Townsends bat
against the leather. When the noise had
stilled Egan was home and the score was
a tie.
Then the struggle commenced in real
earnest. 1t was one fast battle for the
next four rounds. No one seemed to be
equal to the emergency. and the several
chances that offered themselves were
simply passed up.
Finally the tense strain was loosened in
the luckless thirteenth. Lynch opened 1t
with drive far out to left field that net
ted him two cushions. Meany laid down
a bunt and Townsend in the mixup FUN
bled it, allowing Lynch to reach third.
All was over then. Charley Irwin sim

Lynch bounded home, beating the throw
of Mclaughlin by many feet and ending
it all then and there.

cision in the tenth inning and was put

reckless riding al the recent meeting at
Gravesend and the excuse was made that
the circular course was 10 blame. Large

much better than was expected With
anything like the beautiful weather which
prevailed during the greater part of the

good one.

AS the Ariel has a racing length nearly
five feet greater than the Queen and the
Annie nearly twelve feet greater, the cor
rected times would largely increase the
margin of victory. The crew of the Queen
