AGAIN A DRAWN GAME.
Sixth and Temple Come Together In
Another Tie Contest.

The Tigers and Red Birds came together
yesterday afternoon to play off a draw
game, but the best they could do was to
again tie the score.
Sixth batted desperately to obtain the
decision. which would have placed 1t on
even terms with the Reds for second place
in the Church League race. 1t did succeed
in obtaining commanding lead. but the
boys in crimson fought gamely to retain I'M
disputed possession Of second notch. and
to draw nearer the leading Grays.
For three innings the batting was light
and the fielding fast and the contest had
all the earmarks of a low score game, but
in the fourth both Beckett and Brown were
raped hard. and the over-anxious Tigers
and Reds both helped along the run-getting
by errors.
The Reds had originally intended to put
Fulcher in the box. but Beckett asked for
another chance and he got 1t, along with
another bombardnent. He held the Tigers
down to four hits for three innings but in
the fourth he hit two men and was driven
cut of the box by three singles and three
Dagger. F'ulcher allowed one hit in the
inning he served them.
Ballenger evidently wanted to save his
reputation. or else the manager Of the
Tigers thought he would be exploded for
Browne was on the slab. The Reds con-
nected for only three singles in many
innings off his delivery, but in that smuggling
fourth he received even worse punishment
than his opponent.
