youth, Matthews, Of Harvard College,
was the bulwark which stood between
Burlington and 4 particularly white coat
of whitewash at Intercity park yester-
day afternoon. Matthews slammed out
home run III the eighth inning, and
kept the visitors score from being a
succession Of big, round ciphers. The
defeat administered TO Whitney's pets
was a huniliating one, nevertheless, and
the downfall Of eRube9 Vickers was
ii the same degree. viclsers cannot
lay the score Of to 70 poor sup
port, for the Burlington team played
with only one error aud made some
brilliant efforts.
The sad truth il that 4Rubea got
bumped
And there were not many hits, either
seven but they were MS opportune
as check from home. Two Of them
were home runs, by Eaton and Standard,
and the rest were hard hit singles.
Burlington got seven hits, too, or
Coombs, but Jack kept them scat
tered 50 that the visitors were not dam
gerous except in one inning, the sixth,
when Coombs gave Hazelton free pass,
and Brennan followed with a two hagger
to left, with none out. But the runners
were held BY clever work. Simon, the
pinch hitter" was out, Uniac to Ash
more. Page struck out and Shaughnessy
made beautiful catch of SkelIy's fiji
after d long run Another brilliant play
was dropped in By McAiahon who cap
tured Brennan's long ay in the eight.
Two fast doubles were worked BY the
home team, and Matthews executed one
unaided for Burlington, BY fast work
n0wd robbed Standard of an almost
sure hit iii the fourth.
The batting features were the three
home runs, and also the two singles
BIZ kiekers who worked hard to win
bis game amidst the most mereiiess
word bombardment pitcher ever rot
white, fresh from the laundry, the out
law was more nf target than usual.
Ihe Giants started of poorly, or rath-
er Uniac did. With two down Uniae
famhlea Matthews grounder and then
dropped Eatonss accurate throw when
the dark streak started to steal second.
Coombs stopped the inning by tossing
Hazelton's grounder to Ashmore. Things
looked dubious again in the second when
Standard fooled Brennan's grounder
Simon sent him To second with sacri-
flee and then Page got tickled BIZ fast
shoot from Coombs. But Boots gath
cred in skeIly's fly ard Coombs disposed
of Vickefs on strikes. The only other
error BY the Giants was made by the
usually sure Mcmahon, who dropped
Dond's iiy In the fifth, but no harm
was done.
Ashmore made the first tally III tie
third when lie singled to short right,
was neatly sacrificed by Morey and went
to third On Goombs' out, short to first.
shaughnessy lit to short left and All
dinger dropped the balt Ashmore going
in AshmoFe made the second score in
the fifth when Yickers foolishiv gave
him base on balls. Morey couldn't
sacrifice, and when lie famed at the
third ball Ashmore stole second. Bren-
nan made high throw and Ashy slip
ped right along to third, from which
station he scored on Coombs long fly
that Aldinger gathered il after run.
The best hitting of the game came
Id the seventh. Eaton came up amid
the cheers Of the crowd for his plucly |
work in continuing after getting d swift |
one On a sore shoulder. He responded |
by swatting the first ball pitched for |
home run, the ball dropping over the |
center field fence. Nickers got nervous
again, and again gave Ashmore free /
ticket "Cy" Morey again did the sac
fiiiee dodge to perfection. Coombs was |
there with safe one to the fence and |
Ashmore scored his third run OF the /
game. Shaughnessy singled TO right. /
The best Dorman could offer was pop
% Brennan, but Uniac worked "Rube"
for the second free ticket Of the inning, |
Mcmahon got too anxious, however, the |
third strike being foot above his
head
Matthews made good ii the eighth /
with home run, and Standard did the /
same, after getting two strikes, The
visitors made d try in the ninth. Page /
struck out, but Skelly singled 'Ruben
did the same. It was up to Dowd and /
he did just what he did the time before,
his into 4 fast double play, with ASH
more and Uniac handling the ball. The /
