That game between the Elks and II.

teams were nerved up to the break.
ing point and when Moore stepped up
to the plate for the first ball. even the
nags on top of the grandstand stopped
waving to watch the scene. The band
forgot to come out, but nobody would
have listened to 1t anyway. There
was good deal of sporting coin up
on the game, and all kinds Of deter
mination among the teams. The result
was all that could be expected. and
more. 1t was a shame to see such a
game for the price Of one admission
worse than stealing pennies from q
blind man.
And the crowd! Up in the grand
stand, on the left, sat the adherents Of
the Reds. noisy and demonstrative and
full Of defiance. In the bleachers wero
massed the leather-lunged Elk sup
porters, full Of vocal Joy and conf
dence. All through that game these
Two factions waged war, and at differ
ent times each tore its hair or danced
In delight. For the first time this sea-
son the crowd really turned loose, and
not an inning passed but the grand
stands was on its multitudinous feet
and yelling.
No wonder. 1t was anybodys game
from start to finish, and there were
such quick changes in the respective
scores that It made the head grow dir
zy and turned gray the hair Of the
recording angel. Both teams were
killing the ball and the fielders were
running themselves to death under q
hot and glazing sun.
The II. A. C.'s pulled down the game
because they outbatted the Elks.
Hampton was unable to serve up any.

forcibly and decisively convert inta
hash. He was simply hit safely from
the third inning on to the bitter end.
and even when the Elks were ahead
the II. A. C.'s slugged on, bringing
victory from defeat and never stopping
to take breath. Add to this some dar.
ing base-running. and heady playing In
tight holes, and the reason is appar.

Jim Williams started the game for

freely, and In the sixth inning, with
nobody out and the runs thickening
dangerously, he resigned in favor OF
Joy, who held the Elks safely there
after. Joy was mighty with the bat
besides. He started the II. A. c. scor-
Ing with a terrific drive to right with
two men on bases, and landed on third
before the ball got back to the dia-.
mond. Louis got into the game for the
last three innings. and smashed out Z
home run in his only time at bat.
The Elks played good ball. but were
unable to stem that furious tide Of
basehits. Wilder hit safely three times
and Ringland twice, but except In the
first and sixth ming the hits were
not punched and many of the Elks dieo
on bases when anything outside the In.
field would have brought them home.
Vanatta played his usual excellent
game at second. Whites throwing to
bases was better than the II. A. C.'s
expected. Though the II. A. C.'s stole
eleven bases on him, most were when

company In Kia and Evers.
The Elks started off fast. and before
they could be headed off had grabbed
two runs. With one down Hampton
reached first on Gleason's error, Evers
sacrificed, and Cogswell scored him
with a safe one over short. Vanatta
hit to left field and Cogswell scored
when Fernandez made a wide return
to the plate. This looked good only
about ten minutes. Then the Reds got
busy with Mr.. Hampton. Fernandez
hit safe and stole. ]. Williams hit to
Moore who threw wild to first. Aylett
drew a pass. Joy came to bat and
answered the prayers OF the II. A. G.
adherents by sending one like a shot
to deep right for three bases. A. Will
liams hit safely 10 second base, and tho
boy at the scoreboard marked up four
for H. A. C. The Elks next livened up.
Whites line fly to Aylett fell from
that gentleman's hands. Kia got 4
hit when Gleason dropped En- Sues
throw. Ringland flew to center.
Moore forced White at the plate. j..

but En- Sue threw Hampton's fast

Moore scored.
The II. A. C.'s came right back. more
ferocious than ever Bruins landed on
a bend for clean double. Gleason sent
him home with single to left. scoring
later on J. Williams single.
