VISITORS wHITEWASHED

Through Burns superb pitching and
a little timely swatting Of the ball
the Giants were enabled to take the
game from Rutland at Intercity park
yesterday afternoon and besides rub in
a whitewash. The score was 3 to O.
Few performers have done better in the
Northern league this year than the little
Westerner. Three hits, one Of which
was a scratch, was the extent Of Rut-
lands batting. Burns was also as
steady as a clock, not giving base
of any sort aud striking out six men.
But one visitor got to third base, and
at no time did the team have a lighting
chance to win the game.
Paddy Duff brought real Indian
into the game, high.cheekboned fellow
named Leroy who has been pitching for
Montreal. The Indian pitched credit
able game, but the locals distributed
their six hits where they did good SER
vice. Three Of them were punched in
the fourth inning, when two runs came
ia. With one exception the team sup
ported him we'll. Shean fumbled one
grounder but the error did not figure
in the run getting. They worked in two
double plays which were good and fast.
On the whole their field work was better
than the Giants, although the local out
field killed the hopes Of Rutland no less
than eight times. Mcmahon and Apperi-
Gus did exceptionally good work. Uniac,
barring tumble Of hot grounder in
the ninth, also was fast He captured
one fly way back in left field. Dorman
contributed the other misplay on the
locals score card.
The first scoring came in the second,
when Apperious planted a ball in right
field, near the foul line, and took two
bases on II. He went along to third
on McAiahon's out, Dyer to Robertson,
scoring by fast work moment later
when Eaton smashed the ball to Shean.
The latter ielded the bali to Duff clean
", but too late. Standard sent up a
fly which Cotter got and then dropped
and Eaton was forced at second o-1 the
misplay. Burns was disposed Of by
0'Hara.
The only free gift by the indian came
in the fourth, and it worked to his
disadvantage. Uniac was the man who
was favored. Apperious sent him along
to second ON his out Shean to Robert
son. Then followed the prettiest work
Of the game, the successive hitting of
the Giants. Mcmahon laid down the
first hit, a seorcber into left field. Uniac
had a chance TO score, but was held at
third Eaton came next with hit to
right center, and Uniac went III with

the hit into a double and according to
the umpire was out at second, although
there We're few in the audience who
thought that Dyer touched him. With
Smith running for McAlahon on third,
Standard kept up the good work with
the third single of the inning and Smith
ran in. Burns smashed the ball hard,
but Dyer got in front of the bali and
"Bobbie" was out at first.
In the sixth Uniac doubled to right
field. Apperious made botch Of trying
to sacrifice, popping to Leroy, who dou-
bled Uniae at second. Mcmahon closed
the inning by tanning. The locals got
a man ON second in the eighth, when
Ashmore singled and was sacrificed to
second by Shaughnessy. But Dorman
struck out, and Uniac's grounder was
takon by Dyer.
Duff got as near scoring as second
base in the third when he made solid
welt for clean single and stole second
But from that vantage point he looked
on foriornly as Shannon and Leroy fam
ned and Carroll flied to Mcmahon. In
the sixth Leroy while making a wild
poke at the bali managed to hit it
into short right. Ashmore went after
the bah and all but got it. Leroy also
roasted on first and watched Carroll fly
ont to Standard, only to be forced at
second a moment later on OHara's
grounder TO Uniae.
Robertson got life when Dorman
fumbled his mounder in the seventh,
and Robertson Immediately stole second.
There he was tied up, too, as Sam APP
perious took care OF Dyer's and Shean's
flies Carroll started the ninth and re-
lieved the hitless desert BY slammng
a safe one over second base. Then Uniac
disconnected with 0'Haras warm one
and there were two on bases. cotter
made the mistake Of putting up d try
for Apperious. Robertson hit one down
to Uniac and was out at first, although
Carroll got to third. Dyer did his best
to bring the runner in, but the best
was a pop for Uniae. The score.
