Brook1yns secured few more runs in
the third, when Tom Byrnes made a
wild throw home to McNellis. The
throw was too low and got past Mac,
and two men scored on it. There were
two out at this time and three men on
bases. Tom could have touched third
and retired the third man, but took
chances on throwing home with the
above result.
The Merrimacs took a brace in the
fourth and by a few timely hits anu
good base running scored two runs
Phelan's side was hurting him ana
Bob Hayes substituted Tom Byrnes IN
the box. The Brooklyns took qulte
kindly to Byrnes's delivery in this in
ming and scored two runs. They were
greatly aided by Phelan's error IN
right field. After that inning the
Brooklyns had hard work getting
hit off Byrnes and were unable to score
more than two more runs. At the pc
ginning Of the seventh the score stood
Z to 2 in favor of the Brooklyns ana
things looked pretty blue for the Mer-
rimacs. But the East Ends came to
the bat in the first of the seventh Win

of their men had crossed the home
plate and the score stood to Z. At
this period the fun began. The spec
tators took a hand in the game ana
started to encourage their faVor1tes III
a way that base ball fans SO well know
how Both pitchers were doing me
work and the men back OF them were
picking up everything that came tnelr
way. Captain Jerry Shugrue was all
over the field coaching and directing
his players. and Manager Bob Hayes
of the Merrimacs was doing all KINDS
of stunts around the second oase ter
ritory. Both teams had men on passes
time after time, but were unable 10
score them. The Brooklyns came very
near carrying off the game in the last
of the ninth The Brooklyns were at
the bat. Two men were out and three
on bases. George Herman was at the
bat with two strikes on him when ne
banged the ball like a shot on line
for third base John Kenny made
fine try for the ball but was unable
to hold it and the ball fell back of him
three or fours yards. Herman was
fairly shooting for first when Kenny
picked the ball up and made beautl-

ner by a shade.
Neither team scored in the tenth.
The Merrimacs came to the bat in the
first of the eleventh and 'sRed'' Phelan
was the first man up Red waited
for four bad ones. This encouraged
the Merrimac supporters and seeing
their chance they opened up with re-
newed vigor. Jerry Shugrue got all
kinds of jollying, but Jerry just looked
at them and shook his head. Dunphy
followed .tRed'' and was retired on a
hy to left field Jim Bowe was the
next batter and he knocked a slow
grounder straight for Shugrue. jerry
got down to stop it and the elusive
sphere rolled slowly between Jerry $
legs into small clump of weeds. Phe-
Ian was running for second. He got
the base and stopped. jerry IN the
meantime was fussing. cussing and
tuning around the weeks looking for
the ball. Phelan started for third and
again stopped. Jerry and i've or SIX
others were stamping around the weeds
and Phelan increased their excitement
Tbv moving home with what proved the
winning run. Finally Stokes plckea
