Rising Sun visited Port Deposit
on Saturday and defeated the team
of that town by 5 to 4. Reynolds
was in the box for the Orioles and
pitched a fine game up to the ninth
inning, twelve of the Quarrymen
drilling holes in the air and not
run scoring. In the ninth, how
ever, the crowd took a hand and
the strenuous roofing sent "Jake''
up in the air. His troubles began
with the first man up in Ports last
turn at bat. The batter was struck
by a pitched ball, which was fol-
lowed by a failure to field a bunt,
the player falling in his attempt.
With two on bases, nobody out and
the crowd making such a racket as
onlyrooters alta ball game can make,
the next two men walked to first on
balls, forcing in Ports first run.
A high fly to right-center was al
lowed to drop safe, owing to the
fielders getting their signals mixed
and making a mess of it generally,
and was responsible for two runs
more. At this juncture Brickley
replaced Reynolds and the fourth
and last run scored on a fly to the
out field. The next two batters
were out on flies and. Ports hopes
were dashed, while the agony was
over for the birds.
Rising Sun hit the ball hard and
often but carelessness on bases cost
runs. johnson behind the bat and
Boyce at short, for Port Deposit,
played in fine form. The score:

A PURE FICTION,
SAYS FRANK EDDY
HE DENIES HAVING BEEN Of
FERED COLLINS STRENGTH.
Story Originated With a Duluth Pa
per Which Announced That Eddy
Had Been Asked to Take Collins
Place in the GubernatoriaI Con-
test.

The Sunday News-Tribune of Du-,
luth contained special dispatch from
ST. Paul to the effect that Frank Eddy
mad held conference with Judge Col.
llns, James Martin, the manager Of
the Collins campaign, and others, and
That he had been requested to agree to
take care of Martin, S.. T.. Johnson
and other persons supposed to be in
terested in the outcome Of the CUB
ernatOrial contest, and succeed to the
Collins strength.
The story went on to say that ''the
Dunn statements had torpedoed the.
Collins campaign, and that it was nee.
essary for his supporters to find a sue
cessor to his candidacy A confer
ences Tor that purpose was declared to
have been held and it was given out
as general belief that such a deal
had been made.
Mr.. Eddy telephoned r h e J o r
n a from Sank Center to-day to say
that his attention had been. called to
the dispatch, and he remarked that
T h o ur n a l could not make the
denial of this fiction "out Of whole
CLOTH any too strong to suit him. He
says no conference has been held; no
suggestion of this kind has been made
to him, and he sees no reason for one,
and that he would not be a party to
such proposition if it were made. q,
4This Duluth News-Tribune story is
very thin and transparent fake It
is not the province of the news coli
umnS to comment on matters Of this
kind, but it is. in order to give public
ity to this desperate effort to make
political capital, the significance Of
which must be apparent to the gen
eral public. - ,3%5-z+.s -
