The Grays had a regular swatting bee
yesterday at the expense OF Bucken
bergers Bronchos and thus won the third

terday makes the hold on third place for
the local team more secure and there is
a possibility that before many moons
this city y-boas-af-h having a team
again at the head of the list. That Is
the hope and the desire Of every Provi-
dence fan and the near the team gets to
that place the dearer II becomes TO each
one.
AS long as Providence displays the
courage that was shown yesterday when
the game seemed lost there is notnng i'm
possible for the team. The way the
Dunnites pounded the ball was enough 10
make the most disgruntled old bachelor
forget his aches and pains and fairly
dance for JOY. IL was not so much the
number as the way they came and the
value Of each in the way OF bases and
runs that made the fans hair stand on
end and every rooter jump 10 his feet and
go wild in the midst of the cheering mob
present at the game yesterday
There was not a man on the team that
won the esteem Of the fans more than did
the manager Of the locals for every time
there was possibility OF runs coming In
when Dunn was not at bat there was
loud and anxious wall for that man and
he deserved it. too. for there was not
ball 70 be thrown by one OF the opposing
twirlers that presented any sort OF
mystery 10 him.
Rock also was handy with the willow
and played a fielding game that was
much admired by the fans. Thomas and
Mcfarland also caused dismay TO the
pitchers opposed 10 thea and the former
added 10 his record another circle OF the
sacks.
The fielding on both sides was rapid
and accurate. with the exception Of the
Grays performance in the third, when
a couple OF errors assisted the visitors
10 secure their runs. The Grays con-
tributed a pair OF neat double plays 10
the afternoons entertainment Manager
Dunn figured I'm both OF these. while Ball
had a busy day in right garden. Paine
made one OF the prettiest catches of tho
afternoon In right field. when he robbed
Conn OF a hit in the seventh.
After Cronin took 10 the woods in the
third Nops went in and pitched good ball
for the remainder OF the game. He was
hit frequently. but kept cool. and, aided
by good fielding, held the visitors in check
I'm all except the fifth inning when they
managed To secure one tally. After the
powerful hitting OF the Grays In the
third and fourth Buckenberger decided
that Schultz had been punished sufficient
ly. and at the beginning Of the fifth SUBJ
stituted Cleary, who was very effective,
allowing but two more hits and no runs.
Singles by Schultz. Manning and Yam
cey. errors by Cronin and Mcfarland and
hit by pitcher gave the visitors five runs
in tho third Rock started tho locals
half OF the inning by getting base on
balls. As the next two men went out
without advancing him things looked un-
promising for Providence. but McFarland's
two bagger. Dunn's single and Thomas
home run netted quartet OF runs and
gave the game different aspect.
Conn opened the following inning with
a base on balls. was sacrificed TO second
by Brodie and scored on Rocks two
bagger. Nops srtuck out, but Poland
drove the ball over Yancey's head for two
bases and Rock came In. McFarland
walked, stole second. and both he and
Poland scored on Dunns two-bagger.

hit
The visitors got their last run in the
fifth on Manning's single. followed by
