VISITORS LAND ON BURNS

now, Just for spite" said Paddy Duff,
when, at the end Of the 18th inning
Of Saturdays game with Rutland with
the score tied at two apiece, the local
management would not call the game
to let the visitors catch train. And
straightway the pouting Paddy seized
the willow, strobe majestically to the
plate, assumed a statuesque pose, chlsel- |
ling his features into an expression Of
supreme contempt, and waited for Burns
to deliver the ball. Burns delivered.
Paddy, daintily thrusting forward his
left foot, nicely balancing himself OF
his right, swung, Swish, went the
willow wand ferociously waved in the
pouting Paddy's mighty grip. "Biff" re-
sounded the blow Of the contact between
bat and ball. It's hard to tell where
the ball is now. Suffice II to say that
the last seen Of it the sphere was hurt
ling through space over the right field
fence. And victory for the Intercitys
took fight at the same time. Paddy
was as good az his word.
Then Just to show there was no doubt
about the victory, the Marble City-ites
added one more to their tally, making
the score to ?, after one of the most
interesting games of the season, as well
as one of the longest.
The fatal mistake of the home team
was in taking Smith out Of the game
after he had pitched twelve innings Of
winning ball, and substituting Burns.
In twelve innings Rutland had got only
seven hits off Smith, and they had made
only two safe ones since the sixth in
ming. To be sure, Smith momentarily
weakened in the 18th by giving two free
passes to first, but he Immediately
pulled himself together and struck out
the next man, closing the inning. Unless
be was played out, he should have been
kept in the box The visitors took to
Burns as a duck takes 10 water, getting
two hits and free pass, with an error
mixed IN, all in the unlucky thirteenth.
Doescher, the former Brooklyn pitch
er, was IN the box for Rutland, keeping
the nine hits well scattered for the most
part, striking out six men, hitting an
other, and giving two bases on balls.
Still he was no better than Smith, who
was Handicapped by some costly errors
on the part Of the Giants. Ashmore
worked in two misplays, both OF which
were costly and Smith himself helped
Rutland along another time with Wild
pitch. The visitors only error, by
Shean, didn't count in the run-getting.
Rutland has been greatly strengthened
recently with Dyer at short and Shan
non at third. Both killed some appar-
emily sure hits Saturday. For the locals
Mcmahon, who was back in the game,
still limping from being spiked, was
just in the right place every time in
right field, making four put-outs and
figuring in d pretty double play in the
frat inning.
Appcri0us and Uniac were strong with
the bat, the former with home run
and a single, and the latter with
single ana double. Besides DuH's home
run, the features Of Rutland's stick
work were two hits each BY Cotter and
Doescher
HV How the Scores Were Made.
The Giants got out Of a bad hole
in the third after hit by Doeseher,
a passed ball, a free pass to Carroll,
and sacrifice by 0'Hara, when Cotter
struck out and Standard stopped Shean's
walloper and by a remarkably quick
recovery got his man at first. They sig
nalized their getting out of the hole
by making the first score in the same
inning. After Smith had popped to first,
Ashmore got hit by the BAN and Dor
man singled. Ashy and DorInan then
gave an exhibition oil base-running by
executing double steal, the former
scoring minute later on Uniac's drive
to short stop. Apperious closed by pop
ping to second.
The score was evened up by Rutland
in the sixth on a hit by Shean, stolen
base sacrifice by Shannon and a wild
pitch by Smith Another score was
cut of by fast fielding when Dyer got
4 bit. stolen second and tried to score
when Standard fumbled Rays grounder.
IJniac came to Standards rescue and
shot the ball home just in time to nip
Dyer
The Intercitys forged ahead again in
the same inning when Apperious lifted
the ball over the fence for a homer.
Mcmahon and Shaughnessy worked IN
hits but with the assistance of a passed
bah and q base on balls the locals
couldn't get across the plate. Nor could
they do any better in the seventh after
AIldG ndN NouDlEQ ~apHtl3Ott1 Atta
rolled the ball down the third base line
for scratch hit Morey, who was
running for Uniac tried to score on the
scratch and was caught, shannon to
Duff. That was really the last chance
the home team had to score during the
rest of the game. After that Standard
was the only man to connect with the
ball. He got double in the eleventh,
but died on second, Doescher disposing
Of shaughnessy's grounder and striking
out Eaton who was called in to bat for
Ball.
1t was the same with the visitors
up to the thirteenth, when the mistake
Of putting Burns into the box was made
Duff started the landslide with home
run. Dyer struck out, but Ray got
free pass. Doescher famed and then
Ashmore dropped Standards rather low
throw on CAROLS grounder, followed
by O'Hara with his first hit of the
game, scoring Ray with the second run
Of the inning, Dorman took care Of
