day before with the Microbes, pulled
out luckily yesterday by knocking out
of the box one OF the orphan crews
pitcheroids, Nordstrom. The locals
gave him his beating in the opening
round. and had already run In three
scores. and the corners were still load
ed, when he was chased from the arena,
and Sedgwick, the pride of North Eng

hit off him had scored three more, his
efforts caused the locals to simmer
down, and but three hits did they take
during the remaining eight innings.
For utter listlessness and lack OF
energy, that session of yesterday was
the limit. The double header the day
before had been too many for the Grays
and the visitors had been up almost all
the night before getting here. Those
depressors OF spirit butted in to make
the game slow and free from sensation
