Standing Of the Clubs.

The Grays can win sometimes when
pull out games when the opposition
hits the ball like 1t did yesterday, and
the locals fill the session With so many
errors, bunglesome plays and spasms
of poor judgment It's granted Boone
pounded Swain enough to win any
game. when the swats We're punched
like they were yesterday, but when the
locals let down with "Cy" In the box
usually there's nothing to it. There
were not SO many errors either. bu..
Including the mscues. which can not
be charged as such, there were enough
misft situations to turn the game into
the camp of the invaders.
When the number of times they hit
the ball is considered. the only wonder
is that they didn't score more. and
while some of the errors cost runs,
there was lot OF fast playing that
kept the taliies down. While the locals
were bad enough they were but little
worse than the visitors, excepting that
they did not hit the ball quite as often,
but plenty often enough to have won
had not that boinbardment occurred n
the eighth. when the game looked reas-
onably safe. Bare running. depart
ment of the game in which usually lit
tie fault car be found with Warmers
men was, III the third inning. almost
forgotten by Walsh, House and Brug-
geman. The latter might have scored
from third had he been watching the
ball. and the former two tried to do
a short distance sprint, running neck
and neck between first and second.
There may be some consolation in
knowing that the Indian beat Walsh 20
the sack. but it was a heap depressing
just the same, for 1t cost an out be-
fore they sorted themselves into the
proper rotation. Had Swain received
the backing he usually does, barring. of
course, that awful peltfng in the
eighth, the locals had the license 10
win, but there Is nothing SO far dis
covered that is going to prevent team
from scoring when they bunch as many
as five safe hits in one round.
Before the locals could gather them
selves for the getaway, the visitors had
taken two. They broke out in the int
tial round with two singles. sacrifice,
and a base on balls. Another was add

Calls error on the throw of Bassy's
grounder, and Warner slipping and
falling In attempting to catch him at
second. The ball sailed to the out
field, Bassy scoring. A pass to PEN
nington, Swain's wild throw to sec
ond, and Painters two Dagger, made
another in the fifth. Then the lull be-
fore the bombardment came. The
eighth, that bad one. opened by Archer
hitting safe. Then Anderson, Donovan,
Pennington and Powell basted the ball
to the outfield, which totaled three,
assisted by Wilson'S error. The ninth
closed with two singles and another
error by Metcalf. which made one tally,
the eighth, and the last.
Archer dropped Warmers hit in the
third, which started it. Then Brugge-
man drove one out, Swain walked,
Williams hit safe, and House tapped
a single, which netted two. Williams
walked in the fifth, Walsh sacrificed
and Hoy singled, which produced the
third The way Hoy stole bases dur
ing that period should have allowed
him to score, but he was not given
the opening Swaim's two-bagger.
Houses and Metcalfs singles. with

After that there was nothing doing,
altho Bruggeman got as far as third
in the eighth. The score in detail:
