isfied that bah playing won the day.
Johnson was in the box for Gardiner
ana be- was more or less Of an enigma
to HalloWtll b?tsmen. He is a hcady
man and although hit for nine with a
total Of 10 bases he pulled out of holes
without much difficulty. lie was spar
ing of his free tickets end after q total
of three gave none from the third out.
Kennedy was Halowell's new man
and there is no doubt of his pitching
ability although lie did not have az
good control as H. will later on He
issued passes more frequently than
Johnson ANA was unfortunate in hit
ting several batsmen. This accounted
for the run getting more than the hit

| were Secu ed.
OF the individual work of the other
players much can be said. as the game
| moved with good show of vim and
vitality, and the ball was handled very
| artistically.
| Davis at the receiving end for Hal

of playing the game. He is without
doubt q great man bat he is very mod
| est and carries off his hOnuTS very
| quietly. He probably gets more Of the
seemingly impossible pop fouls than
any catcher in the league, and one
pretty catch in the second retiring
Munro added to his good record.
| New"nhlm got four hits in five times
at bat and scored one Of the runs. His
last whacx at the sphere netted him
two bases. He played his usual good
game on first and he too played win
ming ball. Manix got n single and ac-
| cepted his one chance on a high fly to
center very creditably. In fact it look
| ed like 4 hit when he started for it but
! lie got there just in season.
| Blair got two passes and a scratch
and accepted al chances. Higgins has
| credit for three putouts and his best
| services We're required to make the
record. He figured in a sharp double
play. Kennedy to Newenham to Hig-
gins, and in the ninth retired Wilder
on n foul catch which was one Of the
features OF the game.

| fielding was very snappy ana in good

| gilt edged ana four putouts ana ono

| chances considered is all to the good
in the way Of fielding. Conley is also
showing up good qualities in left and
ms Two putouts came in for 4 good
share Of the applause. Conley also got
a single and by good base running
made third TO make good the chance
which came for scoring.
| Allen OF Gardiner got n single and
a triple and accepted his seven chances
| without an error. The most of the
grounders came his way and his good
work counted much for Gardeners vic
| tory thadhOurn made a fine catch of
a foul and the fielding of Clason was
also good
