Bobby" Warmers men refused to
make their initial appearance after
their home coming an occasion for joy
Gus hilarity by allowing the Redskins to
crawl their hump and scamper off with
| a partly earned victory, 5 to 2. Quite
a fierce battle ragged between the locals
and the opposition for two hours and
twenty minutes, or during twelve inn
ings of play, but the round with that
many for those returned tourists, and
they begged down in their fielding,
went into the air with their throwing,
the opposition punched its hits. and al
together enough things happened to
queer luckier lot than the Grays.
Had they been able to have won out
theirs whenever the number thirteen
messes in, they would be due to win
that pennant. Metcalf and Alberts
know from experience what things hap
pen when they toy with the
numerical combination made OF
one and three in the form
of hotel room, and they shudder-
ed visibly when the round with that
number opened and the score still

thru the team and may account for
their undoing. A Encouragement Of the
cast, due to the sudden leavetaking OF

name nevertheless pitched winning
ball, had he been accorded the support
the locals are wont to put up.
Metcalf scored in the second on an
error, a passed ball, a stolen base and
Alberts' two-bagger. The Grays could
have won the game by scoring Alberts
with a hit, or batting in Wilson In the
sixth, after he had gone to third with
none out, but Weisbrod held them off,
and they could do nothing, House and
Hoy both tanning in the last named
round.
Hackett tailed for the visitors in
the fourth, after his hit had belted

of business. Maryott then hit for two
bases. Until the thirteenth the visitors
never got farther than second, altho
