STANDING of the Clubs.

What is that ancient gag about pride
preceding fail and q "hifalutin''
spirit going before destruction? II
some thoughtful soul had taken club
and driven away that camera fiend.
who was getting in his work among
the Grays yesterday just before the
game, things might have been different.
With malice aforethought he stood
John Taylor up at the point of the pic
ture machine with the canvass wall as
background, over behind the score
board TO get four byfive likeness, and
posed John House in left field for 4
similar purpose. The latter's attitude
on paper is to be labeled "StabbinS
Donahuers Hit" or "Ciinging to the
Cross" ii is undecided which.
While such demoralizing preliminar-
les may not have been directly notice
able, nevertheless they had their effect
on the entire team. The surest way in
the world TO hoodoo a bunch is to
take their pictures before the game.
That this holds true, witness the man
ner in which the locals got twisted
yesterday in their hitting, when on any
one of two or three occasions they
could have cinched that game good and
plenty by biting out a few timely
swats.
1t was So sudden, as the young ladies
say when asked to pave the way TO
almony, the way in which those tall
enders landed the regular July game.
1t was done in a manner at once grand
and impressive, and left no doubt as
to their intentions. They mutilated
that winning pitcher of the locals. John
Hurst, brutaily, in the eighth, for four
singles and three Dagger, thereby
amassing four earned tallies. That
round finished it. altho the locals did
take a squirt in the ninth, but it fiz-
zled out before any real good, worth
mentioning had been accomplished. IL
the Grays had only taken advantage
of opportunities earlier in the session
they would still have been in second
place, but they puttered along until too
late to get effective action on the
chances left.
The locals started all right, and with
the luck coming their way Williams
opened the first round by hitting slow
to kensel, and beating out the throw.
A fiuke put him Oh second. Taylors
sacrifice gave him third, and he scored
on Hoy's single. In the second, third
and fourth rounds they got runners
half way around and a single would
have netted score any one Of the
three times. but Bridges had them Rus
and there was nothing doing.
In the sixth and seventh they wriggled
as far around as third, but twice again
there was nothing to 1t. After losing
such opportunities there isn't much
wonder that the Quakers took hope,
and starting that singing process iii
the eighth.
Barring, the seventh, when the visit
gone the opposition really never had
any better than an Indifferent chance
TO show. In the eighth, however,
things broke away after Bridges had
passed out Kensel, Cass1hone and |
Donahue stung singles In the order
the first scoring on Donahue's |
nit. Then Hippert popped up to War |
ner and there was hope. Dalrymple |
cut loose drive over House, scoring
Cassibone and Donahue, and was him
self passed over by Bradshaw's single. I
Moody ended it by going out easy.
Showed under by the big handicap
Hurst walked in the ninth as a start
er. Williams famed gracefully, and
Dlsch. who went in for Taylor, hit so
slow he beat 1t out Hurst scored /
rom second on Houses two Dagger to
light Hoy followed Williams example
md Metcalf went out at first. That
ended 1t The score in detail.
