Greatest Diamond Function of the
Season - Batting Averages of
Teams.
Harmon was sent against the Chat
hams yesterday afternoon and pitched
fired the leather down the alley so
fast that the haze in it's wake looked
like the smoke in a shooting gallery.
1t was late in the game before SEM
blance of a hit was secured. From
wildly exciting slab duel the contest
was converted into a runaway match
with the Yellow Legs doing the travel
ing. Crossley came into the game to
repair the fortunes that Harmon shat
tered in the last game with the Chat
hams, but after him he heard the bugle
blow for retreat; and Krenson went on
the firing line to lead the folorn hope
In the closing moments of a lost bat
tie.
Graham was the good kind angel
who put the cake in the Chathams
lunch basket and let Mcintyre score
from second on a single that, had 1t
been felded fast enough would have
stopped Mcintyre at third Savarese's
hail over from center let Clarke sail
into port, scoring the second run that
was still to the credit of the Galatians
when the final shot was fired by Har-
mon.
Was Lively From the Start.
1t was a pretty game with an en-
thusiastic audience to see it. The
rains during the last week had made
the grounds a little slow, but both
teams injected considerably more life
Into their movements in coming from
and going into the field than in former
diamond events.
The Chathams went into the game
in badly crippled condition. Barrett
was sick and unable to play. Neve
was suffering with a badly damaged
hand, and was forced to go into the
outf1eld after playing behind the bat
for six innings. Crossley of Fort Screw
en- was in the box, and for the first
four innings he kept the Yellow Legs
guessing, but in the fifth and six they
pounded him all over. Krenson was
put in the box and Mcbride relieved
Neve behind the box. Only one run
was scored after this change was
made.
In their half of the first time up
the Yellow Legs scored once. After
two men were out Harmon walked,
went to second on a bad steer that
Crossley gave one of his twisters, and
scored on Starke's single. There was
nothing doing until the fourth when
Savarese singled. trundled down to
the key bag and came into port on
McConnelPs paster to right. McCon-
nell went to second, then accepted a
sacrifice to third, and cantered in on
Howard's sky-scraper which went out
into the middle garden, netting three
bases, but Howard died where he
landed. on third 1t was in the sixth
that the big show started.
The Crowd Enthusiastic.
If the crowd was excited over the
preliminary skirmishes of the teams
they were wild when the Yellow Legs
went chasing around the circuit in this
inning. Graham landed safe at first
on tumble at third, stole second, went
to the last stop on a passed ball, scor-
ing on an error at short. Hesse went
to first on the same error at short
