the Game which Werner Justly

for Pennant.
Like a flotsam and a jetsam rose
the shouts of loyal followers of the
bifurcated c. l.. AS in the region of
the Bolton street crossing yesterday
afternoon, when at the close of the
ninth inning of a game notable for the
number of brilliants errors on the part
of the young men playing in the col
ors of the Y. M. C. A., the score stood
10 to in favor of the Library boys.
The story of the defeat of the Y. M.
c. A. is told in their own error column.
On earned runs they won the game
on errors they lost it. In the official
score Savarese is only charged with
four errors In truth, there were many
more which should have been placed to
his credit. But, taken altogether, 1t
was game well worth witnessing.
The ball was hit hard and often, and
in several instances it was handled ex-
ceedingly well. There was a conspic-
uous absence of that amateur style of
play, which indicated that hard and
faithful practice has been engaged in
by both teams for the past two weeks.
Resulting as it did, no matter how
and why, the c. L. A. contingent is
jubilant. and once more this team
feels it's hold on the pennant tighten.
All through the game it was evident
that the Library boys had the majority
of the rooters with them, and a differ
ent result would hardly have caused
as much erection of Cain.
No matter if his team did lose, Wer-
ner, of mighty arm and the southpaw
wonder of the soldier team, has cause
for satisfaction at his work. From
start to finish he pitched one of the
| prettiest games seen here in many
days. Eleven sturdy hitters fell victims
| to his deceptive delivery and only sew
en- scattered hits were charged up
against him; three of these were
scratches, as they could have easily
been handled by the fielders. Despite
the miserable support that he received
he kept his head and sent the last ball
whizzing over the plate with as much
accuracy and speed as the first. Not
only did he play the whole game in
the field, but also at the bat, leading
every man on the field in hitting. Three
| two baggers and a single were placed
| to his credit.
The Y. M. c. AS were first up and
failed to connect with the sphere, going
| out in one, two, three order. In their
half of the first the Librarians sue
| ceeded in getting two men across the
| plate. The Christians tied the score in
the third. Both scored in the fourth,
| which again left the score a tie. In
their half of the fifth the Christians
| went out one, two, three and the Lii
brarians took fresh grip and sent two
more bifurcated stars across the
| plate. The real landslide was in the
fifth, in which the Librarians chased
around the bases until they were at
the point of calling for time until the
| base runners could catch their breath.
| Five runs We're added 10 the score
card, which ended their part of the
run getting. In the seventh the Chris
tians scored one and in the ninth they
got two more, and might have scratch
| ed in another had not Werner taken a
desperate chance to make third on a
| two Dagger. He was caught, retiring
the side and ending the chances of the
Christians to win the game.
The official score:
