ing Shoudy safe on home when he |
was plainly out made this score
possible The out was so apparent
that the players all thought the side
! retired and the catcher took off his
mask and glove and went and sat
down, while the other players came
walking in off the field The decis-
ion was not announced loud enough
for the players to hear it and Lewis
did not repeat it. There were three
Shaw-Borden men on the bases and
two OF them took advantage of the
confusion to come in home and they
crossed the plate with no one to stop
!, them. One of the Blues tumbled to
| the situation and hustled the players
) out in time to stop the third man at
third base. In their half the Blues
: scored twice, but as in the other in
nings the side was retired with men
on bases.

4 have been tie and an extra inning
4 game would have resulted.
$ Outside of the last inning Umpire
i Lewis gave good satisfaction but his
n decisions in that inning helped ma
I terially to lose the game for the
0 Blues. Both pitchers did good work
J. and were given good support.
e Sundays game was lost to the
e Blues in the first inning. Pratt and
n Steltz were the opposing pitchers and
. the formers arm was stiff from his
hard work of the day before. Be-
fore he settled down four Shaw-Bor-
den men crossed the plate, giving
them a lead that could not be over
come. They scored twice in the
third and twice in the fifth, the score
then standing eight to nothing in
their half of the fifth. The Blues
in their half of the fifth scored four
- times by taking advantage of the
visitors going up in the air, aided
by hit or two. In the fifth the
Blues got one more but that was all
the visitors scoring one more in the
sixth and one in the ninth, making
the total 10 to in their favor.
II In this game the Blues outplayed
le their opponents in all parts of the
g game except at the bat being unable
j, to hit Steltz with any success. Pratt
was hit quite hard in the forepart
of the game. but after he settled
down it was different His work in
ot the two games was good and in some
q. ways he is better pitcher than
I'd either Tracy or Steltz. Mr.. Lewis
H. umpired the second game, and with
re few exceptions his work was good
