IN A PITCHERS BATTLE

1t was a splendid pitchers battle at
the InteTcity grounds yesterday after
noon, with the luck breaking for Burns,
the plueky twirler Of the Giants, over
his strapping opponent, Wigs, Of Bur
hngton. Each pitcher allowed five hits.
Burns struck out seven, to eleven by |
the big fellow and gave four free trips
to the first sack, while Wigs was free
with three. One of the latter's gifts was
costly, while Burns was fortunate in
bis distribution. In addition the visitor
made wild pitch which was a power
full aid toward securing the 1ntereity's
two scores. Burlingtou's one tally was
earned. All in all the game was one
of the best ever seen on the local
grounds.
The teams supported their pitchers
in fine shape. Uniac, who was back in
the game after weeks illness, made a
foozle Of a Tounder, but there was no
harm done, Standard failed to squeeze
a grounder, also, but that misplay was
no more costly than the other. Stank \
ard came back however, with playAo
the marvellous type, taking Texas
league fly way out in right field, run
ming backward and picking the bali out
of the atmosphere with one hand. The
spectators cheered as Justify as possible,
but couldn't get Stank to acknowledge

It would drop safe. Ball, Of the We'll
lington team Of Dorchester Mass, filed
Eaton's shoes behind the bat aceeptably,
and will do so until Eaton gets well
from his injuries received Tuesday. He
has an accurate throw to second, and
besides he made the runners hug the
other bases
Aldinger covered lots Of ground in
left field for Burlington, gathering I'M
three flies in finished style. Wigs was
a handy man with the bat, getting two
hits in three times up, while Deininger
did the same. Uniac was the Giants
strong man with the willow, making
two hits, with a total Of three, in three
time up.
Umpire Ready had another chapter
Of his troubles, and it looked at one
time as II the Burlington bunch as
about to smother him in their wrath.
Both sides got some bad decisions, but
Burlington got the little end Of the
bargain without doubt. Deininger was
deprived Of second base in the eighth
inning when he deserved it. After hit
ting for a single he went down to second
on Matthews strike-out Ball made
q perfect throw and had Deininger
caught BY a foot but Stank dropped the
ball. The umpire saw the ball get there
and saw Stank put it on bis man, but
didn't see the sphere Immediately roll
ont OF the basemans hands. The visi-
tors were right in putting up a protest,
but it didn't amount to anything
The locals scored their two in the
first inning. Wiggs failed to take ASH
more's measure, and Ashy got a free
pass. Dorman neatly sacrificed him to
second with grounder to Dowd. Uniac
was there with safe bit over second,
and Ashmore went to third. Morey,
who ran for Uniac, started 70 steal,
and when Warner fired the ball down
there was no one on second to receive
it. Ashmore therefore tailed the first
score. Coombs famed at three balls.
Shanghnessy did the same, but mean
while Wigs had worked in q wild pitch,
on which Morey scored, having gone
to third on the failure to catch him
at second
Wigs settled down after that, and
had the home team guessing up to the
eighth inning, when it looked like more
runs. Ball opened that inning by fly-
ing out to Aldinger and AshmoTe went
out by the same route. Dorman came
up with a single, however, TO be followed
4 minute later with 4 two.hagger by
Jniae to the fence, the best hit Of the
game. They died on second and third,
As Coonbs failed to connect with the
ball.
Several times things looked dark for
Burns. For instance in the second, with
one down, he gave two passes In sue

two out, and Coombs disposed of Bur.

third people shivered, in spite OF the
