the disporting of our blue athletes in
the national pastime for some days
both contests were knocked down to
those Pathfnders in the bargain
counter engagement. First score to
2, second score , to 0.
Just 1,64S of the beauty and chival-
ny spent the afternoon at the base
ball park witnessing the upward trend
of the fortunes of the locals. This
speaks in large numbers of the popu-
larity the Metropolitans enjoy among
us If they would come oftener we
would like it better.
Mr.. Chapel, the Jays morning
pitcher was thrust in to redeem him
self from the blasting results of that
Fourth of July morning when he saw
so many of his pitched balls hoisted
either out of the works, or into high
ways where the waiting outerguards
were not. In that trying ordeal Chappy
was encouraged and sustained
throughout by Max Myerson. The alb
sence of this member of the control
ling body of the Jay outfit worked
havoc with Chappy yesterday and he
was fattened by eleven hits.
Robinson Missed the Train.
Chappy was also much bereft owing
his regular end of the battery. Jack
failed to catch the train, but did
some ball catching when he was final
ly hooked on to the battery arrange
ment in the second game.
Despite sundry jars he received in
the early stages il looked as though
Chappy was down on the card to blank
the locals. He was ably assisted in this
intent by the spontaneous argumenta-
tion of the receiving end of the bat
terry, who started in his delivery from
behind the rubber as Chappy did in
front. Curran was seriously hand-
capped however. having TO do his

Thatcher i'm Good Form.
Mr.. Thatcher. our first game pitcher,
flung for us with marvellous success.
One hard hit ball went over the fence,
but this detracted little from the lus-
ire of his brilliant achievement in
holding the visitors down to four pal
try safeties on a warm afternoon.
A pair of hits and an error i'm cen
ter field sent one of the tallies for the
visitors across the plate in the second
inning. PratZ singled to left and was
assisted to second by a passed ball.
Mathison singled TO center Yancy's
tumble and weak throw allowing Pratt
TO score.
Yancy's right arm is badly sprained
from the slide home in the Macon
series, and he was sent to the hospi-
tai Immediately after the Jays tailed.
The other run was a fly ball by Mr..
Curran which fell out in the road, and
he was allowed TO make the circuit
undsturbed.
Chappy Consumed with GIee.
After his pals had scored that first
run, Chappy went whizzing on to his
doom. He was joyful, and smote his
gloved hand with glee at the end of
the third round. when he whitfield our
