| the first of the series IL to l. 1t was
a battle which was won by the locals
/ in the first round. clinched, cinched and
nailed down in the third. and uprooted
and borne away in the sixth, seventh
and eighth. From even money at the
| outset, Warmers pals became great
/ favorites after the opening inning. but
| from then on it was easy money like
sandbaggng a deaf and dumb million
aire in u dark alley. The visitors never
had show to win, and at no stage of
the game were ever in the running
This all happened with Williams
backstopping, Mackey on third, and
Warner in right field, all of them out
of place. To the visitors Williams at
hrst looked like a joke. but he soon
became one of those kind that pals by
repetition. Mackey brought back from
Sioux City a lot of get-into- the game
that shone from the three quarters
pole like "A bright star. Warner didn't
get in until after the first inning, and
while he didn't have much to do in right
he wore that satisfied smile due to the
manner in which his teamsters per-
form. He wasn't forgotten however,
for Metcalf. who had more ginger than
would supply an entire team. gave the
odd man" false alarm flys to pull down

switching. all of which gave the man
ayers rheumatism a loosening and kept
the crowd happy.
Warmers advent into the canvased
garden was due to certain remarks
Wilson was alleged to have said to
Classen. touching the later's ability to
judge strikes. 1t ended by Wilson go
ing OUT of the game.
Swain was designated to do duty,
and the steadiness of that old war
horse gives evidence of his again being
in winning form. Only twice did the
visitors bunch their hits 50 that run
ners were put on, and the sixth, when
they scored one was due to his passing
Mahoney and Lally, the former scor-
ing on Jones' single.
Excluding Williams throw over sec
ond, not an error marred the sweet
solemnity of the occasion, that is, so
far as the locals are concerned. The
infield held to hits like a pup to root,
and the outfield was following suit. |
House even went his white brothers
one better by spearing Burson's long
drive with his mitted hand, when It |
looked safe, and would have scored
two tallies.
In their work of squandering hits and |
runs the locals We're egged on and fur

Not mentioning the five which they hit I

Easton, and misplays, miscues, errors,
and blunders. They handled the ball |
like it was covered with lacks and pull
ed off impossible errors with an east
ness that would do credit to the tail
enders of peanut league. At times,
however, they smoked up and pulled off
a couple of battling doubles that helped

Of its being done, which for the time
being, at least, puts the locals sole
owners of second place. For that reaS-
on the details are omitted, and it need
only be mentioned that the locals hit
like bunch of fiends, those that did
hit, like Hoy Metcalf and Alberts. They
batted out three earned ones as a start
ar, took two on errors in the third, an
other in the sixth, beat out one more
IN the seventh, and then helped them
selves, assisted by the opposition, to
four more in the eighth. The score N
