-Four in One Inning Lost
Game to Rutland.
GIANTS COULDN'T HIT
Outside Of One Inning Local Pitcher
Had Visitors at His Mercy, and
Schultz Had Home Team in
Same Fix.

-Four singing singles Of Burns, base
on balls, a sacrifice and an error by
Eaton enabled Rutland to score three
runs in the fifth inning Of Yesterdays
game with the Giants and win hands
down. Outside that inning Burns had
the visitors guessing, with two hits in
eight innings, but there was enough dam
age done in the one inning to settle
the game. The home team was saved
from a shut ont in the same inning by
scratch two-bagger, bit Of dummy
work by shean in not covering second
and an error by Robertson. The score
was 4 to /.

was costly, but he did excellent work in

Burns also fielded their positions finely
Dyer and Shean were the ones TO
shine for Rutland, but the team as a
whole played consistently good game.
Some plays the crowd appIauded gener-
ously in spite of the fact that the home
teams chances were cut off. Kritchell,

hand when he pluclily resumed play
