back lot uptown was the score OF the
finish S tot, which fact having become
history the locals logged on to the play
ground OF the Microbes, and IL their
luck of yesterday holds good they are
due to do things to that bunch of rough
today, having loosened up their batting
arms by piteously pelting Disch. the
tall sycamore OF st. Edwards College.
In this puncturing process they We're
aided and abetted by the locals mis-
cues, which proved prominent factor

capital city short stop. was put in The
latter, while he missed couple OF hard
chances in that explosive round, still
gives much promise. Wilson was shov-
ed up to set the example at the head
OF the batting list, and he did so by
getting four hits, exclusive OF the ono
on his right wing. Williams was drops
ped down To Wilson's place. but the
change did his batting average no
good. AS a matter of fact. that keo>
kuk pitcher, with the Irish name, stood
the locals off well. They hit by spurts
and dashes, but when they got under

things looked the darkest 1t was that
steady old war horse. Warner, who was
setting the good example. No less than
three times did he get those Grays
squared around and started Off by lead

until the sixth, when Wilson broke
out double, took third on Hacketts
overthrow to second, and scored when
House stung single.
While the Grays were amassing their
five the visitors had taken on seven.
