cellar champions took another step down

game that was sharp from the start.
Neither side scored until the ninth in
ming.
Both keeie and Thielman, the pitchers.
were in good form As far as the battery
work was concerned, both teams were
about equal
For eight innings the pitchers abored
along parallel lines, alternating in excel
lence. 1t was a pitchers battle royal,
such as the fans love to witness. Then
came the ninth and fatal inning. up to
which time Thielman had been accorded
good support and the Brown felders dis
ported themselves in leage-felding form
But when that time came which gives the
rooters heart-failure, Castro juggled ball
and Francis followed suit. The result was
two for the pennant chasers. But that
does not tell the whole story. for Hanni-
van had already won the contest by his
corung drive to the center garden and
good foot work on the bases.
Nordyke shone as the bright star of
the occasion. Besides accepting eleven
chances without mishap, the first base
man slapped the ball on the nose for three
singles, as well az doing sacrifice stunt
which assisted Hannivan in completing
the circuit Eagan was the only Tiger
to tumble, and his mistake was excusable
being very difficult chance. Hogan and
Nordyke were the principals in one of
