Providence couldn't stand prosperity
and allowed the visitors to break even
in the series OF games here by winning
the second game yesterday. Amole was
IN the box for the home team and he took
such q fancy 20 the visitors that he al
lowed them l3 hits during the game.

made by the visitors were made from
errors by the home players the game may

OF the extra runs to come In.

the Cgays made five errors and the
Bronchos three. Rochester had Nugent

finger and for that reason his work Is
not what he has previously shown.
