The first game OF the series with Vim
cennes at Sportsman's park yesterday
afternoon by a score of 4 70 ,.
A religious ensemble of Helycross
and Lord kept the batters busy catch
ing the line. on biblical curves, but
they found them once in a while as
the score below wiz testify. Thomas
playing was a continuance Of the hard
luck he has been experiencing for the
past few games and on several ooca
sions where put outs could have been
recorded he failed on pick ups and
the runner reached the coveted base.
Nothing Doing In First.
A goose egg for both the Alice men
ard Giants was the result of the play
in the first inning,
In the last half Of the second the
score STOOD Vincennes Cairo l.
Thomas was first at bat, but his long |
fly to center field was nailed by Dono |
van. who is without doubt the fastest |
aelder with any visiting team here so
FAR this season. Larsen followed with !
wallopng three Dagger to right and
.cored on Holyeross' hit between short |
and second. Bell followed with a hit |
o short which he beat out, forcing |
out Holy at second. Bisseli hit safe
to left field and Harvey struck out, re
ring the side.

Visitors Tie the Score.
The fans had at this stage OF the
game a sneaking idea that the Alice
men were going to be nicely shut out
but in the first half Of the eighth they
we're sadly disillusionized. Donovan
opened the ball with fly to left field
