Woodward & Lothrop Defeats Stumph
g. Lyford in a Hot Finish.

Over a thousand fans, principally from
the commercial houses Of the city, witness
ed yesterday afternoon at National Park
the most stubbornly contested game of the
series, the Woodward & Lothrop team de-
feating Stumph & Lyford after two out
in the last inning. The pitchers were up
against a combination of poor support
and hard hitting. which is well calculated
to worry any slab artist. Notwit hstand-
ing poor support both Hirschberger and
Crawford showed the greatest nerve but
Leffingwell was chased at the end of
one inning. Allison. playing second for the
Woodward & Lothrops. covered himself
with glory. accepting eight out of nine
chances Kelly caught a pretty game.
throwing out several men who tried to
steal on him. The three-baggers of
Hirschberger and Allison in the first two
innings each drove two runs in and braced
the winners for the onslaught which came
later. COrnwelrs umpiring was COM
mendable from all view points. an en-
viable record for one In such a thankless
position.
The enthusiasm of the fans was kept at
high pitch, and yesterdays attendance
indicates the popularity Of the entertain
ment offered by this league.
