The tables were turned In yesterdays
double header al Melrose park, each team
scoring a shut-out against the other, Both
games were fast accounts. but they were
not so fast that the locals could not
have had the two instead OF only the
second.
All the pitchers officiating In the games
were in frst-class shape and pitched win
ming bail. The work did not show up
10 the best advantage. however. owing to
the excellent work of every mdn in the
game. IL was the good. fast fielding OF
the men behind the pitchers as well as
the pitching that kept the scores TO
where they were and caused 40 few hits.
There was not a ball sent out into the
Geld from the bat that did not have
q man there 10 meet, and invariably with
success. II was such a scientific game
that 10 many II would appear low. Oar
Ing the whole Of the Is innings played
there wss but one error made. TTcro
were but few features during the game
that might be so called, and none OF
these were Of the hair-raising kind
The visitors got their first run I'm the
fourth inning on q double. s~acrliice ard
single. In the seventh Cronin hit Jones
and Gatin. the first two batters. Murphy
then hunted and Cronin In fielding the
ball threw wild 20 first. Bert Conn. by a
great stop, managed 70 clutch the leather
and then completed one of the best plays
of the game by heaving ~ home IN t.mc
10 nail Jones. who tired 10 score from
second. Shea hit down between first and
second and Conn left first base uncov-
cred I'm fielding the ball Cronin failed
10 get over 10 the bag in time 10 cover
and Shea was safe. Pardee then hunted
and Gatins scored on his putuot at first.
In the second game Poole and Fertsch
were the opposing twirlers and honors
lay with the former. inasmuch as he kept
the seven hits made off his delivery well
scattered. while the Grays punched
theirs.
Harley opened the game for Providence
by hitting one down TO 0atins, who hur-
ried the throw and flung the ball into
the bleachers back OF first base. Harley
Uotting around the circuit on this miscue.
Mcfarland then got a base on balls. took
second on Dunn's out and went TO third
on Brodie's single. Steve" tried To reach
second on the throw 10 the plate 10 head
OF Mcfarland and was thrown out. Me
Farland recahed home a moment later on
q wild throw.
Blanks were handed out 10 both sides
from the first TO the seventh inning, but
in the latter period Dunn's men turned
loose a clubbing festival and negotiated
another pair Of tallies. Brodie hit for
one base and Jacklltsch beat out a bunt.
Conn's well-placed sacrifice moved both
men along a lap and Jimmy Morgan's
smoking whack sent them in. Morgan
was thrown out trying TO steal second and
Poole beat the wind after Rock had been
passed on called balls.
The visitors had good opportunities to
register runs in the first. fourth. ffth.
eighth and ninth innings, having men on
bases with one or none out in all OF
those periods, but Poole was ironclad and
could not be reached when hits would
have meant rich doings.
The Grays left last evening for Jersey
City and from there will go 10 Baltimore.
