as Devlin stole to second and Dahlcn

ed Schreck behind the bat in the sixth
Inning. Not a New Yorker got to Sec

ninth, when the visitors scored two
runs.
Of the thirtv-two men who faced
Mathewson, nine reached first. Hart
sci, the first man up in the first in

grounder. He stole second and was
caught between the bases on Davis

in the second on Mathewson's only
base on balls and a forced out.
In the fifth M. Cross singled and
was left at first. In the seventh Da rs
singled and was thrown out, going to
second after a foul fly had been cap
|tured. Seybold singled in the same in
ming and never got away from first
base. In the eighth Coakley was hit
by a pitched ball after two were out
and the man who followed was an
easy victim. With two out in the ninth
Captain L. Cross singled and Seyboid
|ended the game by striking out.
