Beyond the domestic troubles of the
Jays in the second round, when Mr..
Black finally exercised his privileges
as manager and called Mr.. Curran
down for striking at a tall ball, there
was nothing to mar the sport at the
y. B. Park.
Nearly 1000 of the beauty and Chi
valry witnessed the three ring per-
Torrance, one a B. B. game on the
diamond, another a horse race behind
the grandstand and some pyrotechnical
effects directly in the grandstand. De-
spite all these happenings those Path
finders stayed together long enough to
win by a score of 4 to 3.
For the time it was in progress the
horse play was the most exciting.
George Lehwald. or some one looking
very much like George. tied the horse
near the end of the boxes. The animal
became so excited that it forgot itself
and made a mad dash around towards
the bleachers in order to get nearer
Mace and give him the horse laugh for
that decision at second, when he called
Persons safe.
A theory is entertained that the
lady's umbrella which caught fire in
the grandstand, was ignited by some
of the flying language which Mr. Cur
ran was handing to Mr.. Black when the
latter gentleman reparteed with him
about whiting with such grace. Any
way the parasol was wrecked and Mr..
Curran retired from the game in or

StaIoy Hit First Two.
Staley, who has had too little work
of late to give him proper control.
started off for the locals very much
like the runaway horse, and before he
could finally be halted he had loaded the
bases with crowds of Jay runners.
Curran, Rex, first gent up, was damned
on his black cotton belt. NEWMAN
received bis a little higher up and when
it came Dingles turn to take his dose
he fell down. and compromised on a
base on balls.
At this juncture the Fisherman was
hooked on to the battery and beyond
a great drive to center on which Cur
ran scored on the throw in, he re-
lieved the situation in short order. A
quintette of hunts and teasing Texas
LeaguerS in the second netted the
visitors two more runs and after that
the Fisherman had them completely
under control.
Persons Was Hit Freely.
Little Eddie Persons has the best
change of pace in the league. One
day he pitches a no hit game, and
the following Wednesday he is lam
med by the opposing athletes until
they get tired of lammng. That's
changing some. says the Wogglobug.
Eddie had on the low speed gear yes
terday. When one of those side wheel
ers do strike rough waters they go
all to pieces. The incident of one sun
ny Jim Ittig is called to mind when
ever one of these port filmed fingers
occur on the diamond
James was defeated in Macon by
the narrow margin of 20 to s. He was
assisted in the last trying rounds by
one d. Null. But Eddie has never
suffered such a reversal of FORM we
possible. Fourteen times he was jar
red, but the grin on his mug never
fell off.
How Runs Were Scored.
The visitors we're the first to score.
Staley hit Curran and NEWMAN and
passed Dingle. With the bases full,
WEIGH relieved him. A long fly to
deep center scored Curran, and the
other two runners slowly petrifed on
the bases
The locals forged ahead in the sec
ond inning. King, first up. flew out
to right and TRULY was walked. TRULY
stole second and scored on Burt's in.
field two-bagger. Burt hit skyward,
and before Eddie and his pals could
locate the sphere il had dropped in the
diamond and Burt was on second, and
TRULY was crossing the plate. Burt
scored a moment later on Oyler's dou-
bic TO left field.
In the second inning the visitors
made shot hits with much success.
Rutland hit clean past second. Rob
inson doubled to right. scoring Rub
land. Persons hunted and beat it out,
Robinson going 10 third. Newhams

Burt's single and Oyler's double in

and Truby's singles in the sixth netted
