that losing club, artistically and fin

rewarded by the most generous patron

THE Boston club is leading in the
race for the pennant and by its action

weaken chances for the pennant and
strengthen an adversary.

first inning things looked bad. but good
fielding pulled the sausage out of the
fire.
Up to the seventh inning the game
was a beautiful pitchers battle with
honors even between Root and Hughes,
the latter getting the worst of the score
board results through costly errors by
his team mates. Up to that time the
Gaslighters had found Hughes for six
safe ones. but they were scattered
plenty wide to prevent trouble If errors
had not accompanied them. The Saints
however touched up Root for only two
fair ones. But the ex-regular soldier
was wild as a March hare, throwing
five bad ones past his catcher and Civ
ing his team mates chills for fear that
he would pass enough to first TO lose
the game. He pulled up strong enough
however to only give free transporta-
ton to four, but three of these came
in.
incidentally the Saints demonstrated
again that they cannot hit. They did
find Root for safe ones according to
the score book, but two of these We're
made so by misjudgment on the part
of the Gaslignters. The Iolans got
seven altogether but they were as dis
family related as an Icelander and a
man from Tecumseh.
