/ served 10 win and would have done
so easily but for the rotten playing
of Gilligan at shortstop. In the

Marie and Myers in. Brady

never scored again, while in the
fifth inning Marie singled and
while he was on first Morris knock
ed a home run over right field
fence, tying the score at 5 to 5.
Neither side scored after this and
for nine more innings it was ter
rife battle of pitchers and the most
interesting game of the season.
Alexander improved as the game
progressed and struck out in all IA
men and walked only one. Bittorf
for Cairo struck out Eve and gave
bases to three. But for the lack of
support 10 the first part of the game,
it would have been the greatest IN
diyidual trump attained BY any
pitcher in the League this season.

count Of darkness. The batting of
Marie and Morris was great

aud scored three times and two of
