But One Double.
There was only one double during the
game. It happened in tho second lnnlns
when the collegians were at bat. keane
got q ticket to first and walked ana
owens went out to first, Keane stolo
second and landed on third by the OUT
Smith sent q speedy one TO LenKe, WHO
transferred 1t to Anthony on first lhe
batter was out, Anthony's am was
true in returning the ball to the plate
and Keanc took tho cemetery road ut
the suggestion Of Receiver Gilmore. =
was a neat and clean double play that
was rewarded by the fans.
Two very peculiar plays occurred dur
ing the game. Keane had lan.. on
first by getting + a single and owens
! followed him. The batter sent one dow.
towards second and ieane couldn't get
out OF the way. FIe was struck on the
foot and called out. Owens was credltetl
with a hit. but the rule book doesn't
say what he got 1t for-hitting the ball
or the runner. "A
Keans figured In tho other play also
and again he was the one to get swat
ted with the BALL but this time he got
the credit for the hit But Gilmore, who
threw the BALL was not given q hit, It
looks like poor rule that won't work
both ways, yet the men Of brains who
compiled all of things that tell play
az what is what say that this is tho
correct way, Anyway Keane dropped
dlnky little bunt down about four. Inches
from the plate. He did some good
sprntlng right down the base line
and Fillmore couldn't see Anthony for the
runner. Like a shot, however, tho bail
was sent into the direction Of first
base, 1t overlook the runner and biffnd
him In the back, He got hit and was SO
recorded.
The official score follows;
