nG WdS LOO l2CADGT1SACCO tO w S-AA~SS i've against team of ball players ike the Saints. The Hills were first at the bat and started right in as though they were going to run away from the tenn perance boys. They banged the ball good and hard and when their side was retired had six runs to their credit The Saints scored two runs in their half and the score stood that way for quite a few innings. The Saints set tied down to good hard work after the first and the Hills were unable to score another run until the fifth inning. The Saints got another tally In the fourth and there the score stood until the seventh This is the inning that Mc- Ginnis weakened and the Saints lit on his delivery for singles, two-baggers and three baggers and had scored four runs when their side was retired, tie ing the score Tn the first of the eighth the Hills forged ahead again and scored one run, making the score s to ' in their favor. Tn the last of the eighth Moran was the first batter up for the Saints and immediately tied the score by banging out home run. Jim Madden was next up and made pretty single. He stole second. Patsy Kane was the next batter and kept up the good work by knocking out another single and advancing Madden to third. Kane attempted to steal second but Slavin nailed him and at the same time keeping Madden on third. Thompson was the next batter up and scored Madden by knocking fast liner by Sheehan. Kane was allowed by Captain Mulligan to run for Thompson, who hurt his leg. Bill Cleary followed Thompson. Kane tried to steal sec ond and was nailed the second time by Slavin. Cleary knocked out a corking two-bagger and was advanced to third by Hodge, who made another single. The next man drove in both runners which made the score ii to 8. The following batter struck out. It looked rather bad for the Hills by this time but they went to the bat and did make fine effort to tie the score The, first batter was easily retired. Lawlor was the second up and made a hit. He reached third on Mulligan's drive through short and scored on Sla- vin's pretty two-bagger to left field, With Mulligan on third and Slavin on second high fly was knocked to Patsy Kane and making two out The next batter knocked to short and was thrown out at first. It was a hard in- ming on Moran but he kept his head and prevented the Hills from scoring more than one run. Maloney of the North Ends umpired and gave fine sat isfaction. This man knows the game thoroughly and his services should be secured by the league every time that ne isn't prevented from umpiring by playing with his cam. The final score was Il to 9 in favor of the St Jo- seph's.
 This victory puts the St Joseph's just one game behind the Washington Hills and the finish promises to be just as close as it was in the last two years. If the North Ends or the Brooklyns defeat the Hills once more and the Saints are lucky enough to win every game deciding game will have to be played between the Hills and St Joseph's.
