Hatch, for 0|neyvi||e, Hypnotized the
GTays, Striking Out II Men.
ThePennant Chase in Major Leagues on
Today Games in Both.

II the MANAGEMENT OF the Providence
team Is alert to nil opportunities for se-
curing good men for the team here they
will make efforts TO secure the services
Of Hatch though he has signed for the
season with Olneyville, 1t is understood.
Tie work OF that pitcher during his
oorrse at Brown University has been al
Ways OF the guilt edged kind and he easily
ranks along with Mike Lynch, and would
have shown up equally well had IL not
been for the injury received at football
during his FIRST year on the hill.
Tie best evidence CT the ability OF that
player was seen yesterday when II OF the
Grays batsmen famed the breezes In vain
ere rts to land On his benders He had
them all hypnotized and when Thomas
made his two base hit the glee that was
fat by that player could be seen from
a.. over the field on his smiling face.
4 was due mainly TO the good work OF
Hatch that the score was In favor or the
Olneyyille players 10 the tune OF TO J..
When IL IL considered that this was the
first time that the Olneyvtlle players had
beer together even for practice the work
up a good game themselves and had the
work OF wtately been OF the same stamp
AZ that OF Hatch the story might have
been written differently Drors OF the
Crays also added to the disaster for four
of tho runs were made on account or mis-
takes
In fact all the runs were made on errors
of the Providence players but that does
not take anything from the glory or the
gnre from an Olneyvtlle viewpoint. Sew
eral brilliant plays were made oy va
rius players but none OF them was more
c, ,editable than was the long running
catch Of a fly in deep centre made oy tne
ever ready Conn. There is possibly no bet
ter fielder in the whole Eastern League
tran this player for there is no ball that
comes within a mile of him that he seems
rot 10 be able TO get. He is as sure as day
l.ht as was proven yesterday. ROCK afo
is showing fast work accepunB esht
cra noes in fine style. Thomas had his arm
VITA him yesterday and seemed 10 wait
for Pattee TO start for second in order TO
shou him that when the league games
b, gin he had bettsr not try 10 steal. The
throws were accurate TO measurements
and the ball was always on second walt
.ns the runner
For Olneyville every man seemed TO De
I'm the game except the first baseman and
several excellent plays were mace oy
Woodsum and Pattee. The FORMER goes
after everything like a veteran and with
the grace Of an artist.
For the first three innings there was
nothing doing till Olneyville came 10 the
.bat and Whitley went soaring ana WOOD
sum, the first hitter for Olneyville, banged
out a single over second. McAunne was
safe at first when Aubrey fumbled MS
sacrifice. and Hatch ambled. hning
the sacks Wheatley lodged an in-shoot
off, Iaughlin's ribs, forcing Woodsum
I'm with the first run. Pattee hit 70 Dunn,
who threw TO the plate in time to eaten
McAuliffe. the bases again being nlied
on the play. Pulsifer then waited whhe
Wheatley made four futile enorts 10 TO-
cate the plate and Hatch was forced In
with Olneyville's second run. Chapman
bit 10 Rock. and while he was being felded
ont at first both IIaughlin and fattee
scored. Taylor's foul fly was gathered
by Thomas. retiring the side.
The Gray's woke up a trihe In the n1th
and managed to get a man around the
circuit. Rock drove out pretty single
and stole second at the first opportunity
Thomas and wheatley ingloriousy
famed. but Mullen drew a pass Rock
then tried 70 get down 20 third, and Nc
AulirYe threw wild in endeavoring 20 head
off him, the Grays shortstop keeping on
20 the plate Poland retired the side by
going on an inield hit.
The Grays went to pieces altogether
IN the ninth, and base on balls, a sacri-
flee. a single. and errors by Drew. Au-
brey and Dunn resulted In three runs for
Olneyville. The same teams Will play
again tomorrow afternoon at Olneyville.
and the Grays are determined 10 redeem
themselves This afternoon at o'clock
the Grays will line up against George NJ.
