BY Burlington
PLATTSBURG BATTED HARD

Too much Hildebrand. That, in a nut
shell, is the story Of Saturdays game
on the lntercity ground, in which Platts-
burg prevented the home team from
scoring and themselves crossed the plate
four times. The big fellow was all
there, tantalizingly deliberate in his
movements and with speed, benders and
fine headwork. -Four times it looked
as If the Giants would score, and on
three Of the occasions it was up to
the mighty sfugger, Apperious, to bring
10 the runs, but Sam fell down before
the proves Of the big Prineetonian,
the first time going out, Lauder TO Bot
temus, the second time flying out to
Wells and the third time being vie
tim to Hildehrand's receptions.
But if Apperious was weak at the
bat and all the Giants we're he was
strong in center field, covering pro-
dieious amount Of territory In the
sixth he saved at least one run by brill
liant running catch off Cosgraye, for the
third out In the seventh also he cap
tured Cote's short hit, when there were
two men on bases, and score seemed
inevitable. Along with Apperious field
ing should be classed the second base
work Of Wells, the former Princeton
player, who accepted twelve chances
without an error, also LADDERS fast foot
and handwork at short Lauder was
all over his section, fast and sure, and
at the bat he cracked out two tipping
singles. Mcdonald and Hildebrand also
got two singles. For the Intercitys
Uniac did the best hitting, getting one
single and a double, OF the FIVE hits
by his side.
Smith started to pitch for the home
team, and while not wholly effective
did good work till be injured a finger try
ing to stop Washburn's grounder. The
following inning, the seventh, Platts-
burg got after him and Morey was called
in from right to finish thegame, Coombs
going to his place.
In the first inning, with one down.
Cote singled and went to third on Nc
Donald's hit into right field. Then Mac
drew throw down to second, and Cote
started for home. He would have been
an easy ont had not Standard shot for
the grandstand. Smith disposed Of
Washburn and Bottemus on strikes.
The visitors got another in the third
when Lauder singled and stole second.
just as he started to steal third Me
Donnell placd Il scratch hit down the
third base line and Lauder kept all the
way home, getting there easily Lauder
attempted to repeat his pilfering per-
Torrance in the fifth, and got out for
his pains, Eaton making a perfect throw
to second.
In the seventh Wells doubled, Cooper
went out, Smith to Ashmore, and Hide
brand advanced Wells with a single.
Lauder singled and Wells scored. Morey
was called into the box at this point,
and Bottemus flied to right and Cosgrave
to center. Washburn and Bottemus
touched up Morey for singles in the
eighth, but there was nothing doing
as Coserave flied to Eaton, Apperious
gathered ID Wells fly and Morey took
care Of Cooper's grounder. BY fast run
ming Of bases by Hildebrand the visitors
got their fourth score in the last inning.
Hildebrand singled went to third on
LADDERS sacrifice, Dorman to Ashmore,
and scored when Cote went out, Dorman
to Ashmore.
Tie home team had two excellent
chances to score. fl the third Smith
struck out but got first as Cooper drop
ped the ball. Ashmore sent him to sec
ond with sacrifice, and Gooper's passed
ball allowed him to reach third. Dor
man got free pass and stole second
But Uniac and Apperious we're not equal
to the job, the former striking ont and
the latter being disposed OF by Wells.
Again in the eighth, after Dorman had
got on FIRST by fielder's choice, Uniac
hit 10 the fence for two bases, and APP
perious was up. A ball over the fence
would have tied the score and the crowd
demanded Of Sam that he annihilate
the ball Sam struck out.
On two other occasions Giant got as
far as second, only to die there. The
A9arn.
