Standing Of the Clubs,

slid and scooted thru the mud yester-
| day with the usual result, another
game lost by single tally. The final
score was to 2, and by 1t the locals
hit the chute into seventh place. Err
ors, miscues and bad breaks. due In
part to the slippery paths and wet
ball, failure to make real effort to
biff the ball when runners were on, and
the punched hitting of the visitors,
broke together against Johnson and his
teammates and beat them.
With the errors and one thing and
another the luck broke against the
locals. Most Of their errors cost, and
they were unlucky and used what
proved to be afterwards bad Judgment
when on the bases, both of which
played a part in their beating. Almost
every miscue they made counted. while
the visitors got away lucky in this re-
spect.
Barring momentary wildness, and his
bad throw over second. which resulted
in at least one Of the two tallies in the
fourth, Johnson pitched an effective
game. He was just as good as Still
man. and was hit for fewer bases, but
passed larger number to first
The path between first and second
was a mire, in which basemen and
runners fell, but the local men seemed
to do most Of the falling. Then link
was out Of the game owing to ain old
hurt he received at Burlington, and
George Disch went on that base in his
stead, which made difference.
Altho they hit Stillman enough in
the second inning to have won the
game with a total of three singles,
double and a sacrifice. and were helped
by pass to w. Disch, the Grays could
only drag in a single tally. Williams
led away with single. Warner sacri-
feed, Bruggeman singled and Johnson
belted for two bases to right. Williams
could have scored from second but fell
in the mud, and was nipped at the
plate. Middleton singled, Bruggeman
scoring. Disch walked, but Hoy flew
to Hoffmeister and the side was out.
One tally.
Another tally was gathered by War
ner's men in the third. Stillman threw
George Dischs grounder away over
first, and the pitcher went to third.
Shaub flew out to right, Disch scoring
on the throw-in. Plake's error put
Williams on and Warner hit safe.
Bruggeman batted into double, clos
ing the round. One more tally, total
Of two. ],
With the bases full neither w. Disch
nor Hoy could connect, the latter strik-
ing out, and the last chance to win
blinked out.
The visitors scored first in the third
inning. Stillman, first up, hit. Everett
