Grays Had Slump Yesterday and Lost
Game to Toronto, 4 to 0.
Harlem Stake Won by Sheriff Bell With
Cormack Riding.

There was depreciable slump IN the
stock OF the Providence Grays yester-
oay when the team experienced the third
smut out of the series with Toronto. the
exhibition put up yesterday was not AT

for double plays were allowed to go by
on account Of the listlessness Of the play

hold the ball when thrown Connor was
guilty OF misdemeanor in this particular
and DAILY was no less so on one occasion.

who follow the sport need not be dis
