In a pitchers battle the Pathfnders
won from the Y. NJ. c. A. team yes
terday in decidedly the snappiest game
of the genuine article of ball that has
been seen here so far this season, and
again by punching their hits the Y. M.
c. AS scored there runs, while they
were only credited with four hits. two
of these being secured by Harmon.
1t was Harmons brilliant work that
enabled the Yellow Legs to make the
good showing that they did, and, as
sisted by Starke, who caught an ex-
cellent game, he deserves all the
credit. In the nine innings he struck
out eleven men, while Welsh and WEIGH
struck out ten between them in their
eight halves, making honors about
charged up against the two Path
finders pitchers.
From start to finish the game was
full of that sort Of fast play that makes

men were favorites with the rooters,
and when he first stepped up to the
bat and landed out a clean three-bag-
ger pandemonium reigned for a few
minutes.
HarmOn's Long Hit.
The run-getting started from the
very first Jimmy McIntire was dis
appointing when he toed the pan and
famed. Harmon took the first one
that came over square on the end OF
the willow and sent it screaming out
between the center and right garden,
scoring on Lang's slow one down the
third base line. Lang was thrown
out at first and Howard swiped aim
lessly at three wide one retiring the
side.
Dad more than evened matters UP
when he came in to get a drink Of
water Bratton landed singing sin

and after Jutzi famed he scored on
Burts smashing single to right field.
Burt scored on LaRocques sacrifice
and WEIGH fouled out to third.

In the third the Pathhnders made
another rally. Jutzi famed. Big Dan
got a free pass, stole second and

ROGUE scored on Savidge's single.
Welsh and Oyler retired the side.
The Yellow Legs made another at

but could only get two men across the
pan. Harmon was out to short, when
Lang landed on a swift one which net
ted him two bags. Howard famed and
Starke advanced Lang to third in try
ing to sacrifice. LaRocque splitting, an
error which left both men safe. Starke
went down to second, both he and
Lang scoring on Savarese's single over
second. This ended the run getting.
Johnny WeIch "a Puzzle.
Johnny Welch relieved Con Welsh
in the fifth inning. and beyond one
scratch hit nothing could be gained
from his delivery. Johnny's slow ball
is @ teaser that will worry many
heavy hitters before the season Is
over.
The excellent showing made by the.
Pittsburg boy may be the reason for
his assistance in the pitching on OPEN
ing day.
Jutzi, who has been Ill, was badly
off in his hitting yesterday. He is
usually a hard and safe man at the
bat, but he. famed four times in sue
cession. Bratton was not hitting up
to his standard either, and be 1t said
to Harmon's credit, the whole team
seemed to have a day off when they
went to the bat
