fed thing Of kissing It was not in
any one department that BlcQuark was
ofi, but it was in all, on balls and
strikes, fair balls and foul, and on base
decisions. Plattsburg got the little end
Of the bargain once, when AlcQuarls
wouldn't give Cote first base until
eoombs had given five balls, but that
made no difference with the result.
McQuark called Shaughnessy out for
interference with the catcher, who went
out of his way TO collide with Shaugh-

made no attempt to interfere. He didn't
know where the ball was, in fact.

Wells and Barberick grabbed for the

clearer case of robbery.
Those are d few instances.
Otherwise the game was quite inter-
esting to watch. 1t started on with
lot OF base ball fireworks. Lauder
nearly knocked Domnan over with q
hot one which Johnny clung To and
tielded to first. Dorman played bril-
liant game Yesterday, later shutting off
an almost sure hit by kuhnes ia the
seventh, with the bases full. Knhns
