Pay day and southpaw made mix
ture that was too many for the Grays
yesterday. and the much touted spell
binders from the standpat district took
the lead on the get away and were as
strong at the finish as the outset, al
lowing the locals to take a poor second.
Distribution of currency should have
been postponed until after the game for
1t is poor business to feed horse be-
! fore you send him to the pole. 1t made
the Grays topheavy, and instilled de-
sire to play ground ball. to the extent
that a bakers dozen passed TO the wig
wan on bounding hits to the iniieid.
| 1t was the locals miscue day too. and
they dumped out lot OF misplays. In
| that respect, however, they were lucky,
for only one cost anything. Steady old
veterans like Gleason, House and Will
Jams, had their one bad day of the
month and while none of them proved
disasterous they gave the crowd the

all ended differently. and IL only few

pick OF the outfit WAS nuts to the Nlst-
tors clever twirler who had them al
ready under his spell and passed them
out in the order of the first three num-
erals.
Neither cam the victory be accorded
to the heavy hitting for but six singles
were they able to get from Disch, and
then only twice did they transpire in
Innings when damage was liable to re-
suit. 1t was In the third when the hits
that pestered Disch were touched off
and closed out the locals to 0. 1t hap
pened by Schopp, who was first UP, hit
ting safe Then Spencer hunted, and
Disch fumbled the ball while the CEN
ter fielder went to first and Schopp
took second 1t was Williams ball any
way, and had he been allowed to field 1t
things might have been different. Ken
nedy hunted and Disch threw him out
at first, but the others passed on to
one It was too bewhiskered for Disch
to field, and passed thru him and over
second. while the crowd hoped that
Warner would be there like he was the
day before with his one-handed stunt.
But the manager was just little too
far off and the sphere went straying
into outfield. and by the time Taylor
had thrown it In Schopp and Spencer
had scored That's all there was to
it, but it was enough. The locals
could not overcome the handicap and
the politicians went romping on and on,
always two to the good. Twi singles in
the fifth and Williams error in at
tempting to catch Spencer at third,
made things look threatening but sharp
fielding blanked them again, and after
that they passed away in the order of
their batting.
1t was too much to suppose that the
Grays would hit two days in success
sion. but dilky little single in the
second would have helped a lot. House
started it off in that round just like
the day before by hitting slow enough
to win in the sprint for first with the
ball. Bruggeman sacrificed, advancing

his brother redSkin was three quarters
of the way around, but Manager Robert
could not connect and the flicker of
hope in the breasts Of the fanatics
sputtered and died out. After that
Mackey was the only man who got
past first and he ran into a double bat
ted into the hands of Kennedy by
House. The crowd tried to start some
thing in the ninth, but both Disch and
Gleason famed at the atmosphere. The
score in detail.
