PIPPlNS WIN Again
ABERDEEN AGAIN SENDS HOOUIAN
DOWN THE line.
4 Lively Game OF Base Dali on Deco
rafion Day. The Perfect GcntIc-
men Played We'll, But the pippins
Were too Strong and TOO Swift
for Them.

The Pippns and the P. G. IS agreed to
meet at Electric park on Decoration Day
to see ii The Plppins could make it three
straight. The Pipplns coud-and did.
The Pippins won because they hit the
ball hard and often, and by fast work
kept the Z. G.'s down to six scattered
hits. Every man on the Aberdeen team
got one or more safe hits except SwArtz
and Brennan, and they made up for that
by good fielding. Hopkins started in to
pitch for the Z. G.'s, but after eight safe
hits had been made off his delivery he
was taken out of the box and Knapp was
brought in from ielt field. This was in
the seventh. Knapp can pitch pretty
good ball when in form, but he has not
tried to pitch for long time, so Aber.
deem hit him for four hits in the three
innings he was in the box. Twelve hits
must be credited to Aberdeen. Brown
and Brodhurst each got three, Whalen
two, sullivan, Bum, Harper and Fink
one each. Fink pitched for Aberdeen,
and his left handed delivery was too
much for his opponents, their six hits
netting only two runs.
The p. G.'s hit the ball pretty hard,
too, as the score shows, and Brodhurst
killed four flies in center field which
were sent from the bat with the inten-
ton of the batsman to make runs.
Brennan got four in left field that were
hit so hard they Jared him when he
caught them. While the error columns
show some errors, the game was in every
way marked improvement over Sun
days game.
So busy has our Mr.. Brown been for
some time getting his Pippins together
and watching their work on the field
that he has had no time to show what
he can do in n pinch. Everything was
in such good working order Tuesday,
that Dad" felt quite gay; 30 when
Hopkins laced ont line drive that
burned holes in the air and was going
over "Dad's" head, he gave mighty
leap, reached his hands high up IN the
air and Mr.. Hopkins sat down on the
bench very much depressed young
man. The last man ut bat during the
game was q man named Hyatt; his
team mates call him Ham," and when
he goes to bat tell him to "knock it over
the fence" and the fair fans from his
town smile with delight and clap their
little hands together and look at each
other and call him cute. Well, "Ham"
hits the ball all right and contributes his
share to every victory the Z. G.'s win.
In this last inning he waltzed up to the
plate with do or die expression on his
face and-bing! Well, that ball went
so fast that one of Togas' topedoes just
let loose at Russian ship was as snail
to it. When the ball started so did
Brown, but he could not get in front of
it. 30 he made lunge at it and got it,
and threw "Ham" out at first base. Now
Ea< hat 20 20 l, ooI
"Mr. Brown" But what do you think
he had the nerve to say to the boys in
the dressing room, when they congratu
lated him on the really excellent play?
"Huh, that was easy; you fellows are
expected to get harder ones than that"
And now the boys are praying every
next Saturday and Sunday.
When the smoke Of battle had rolled
away the score stood: Aberdeen 8; Ho
quiam 2.
