VICTORY FOR GUNTON.
Fourth Boys Lost Game Through Weak
Hitting.

What Happened to Jones?"-9 to 2.
Guntons adherents In the Sunday School
League were treated to a delicious shock
yesterday afternoon, and the Tiger bunch
of ball tossers and their rooters are still
rubbing their lamps and wondering how it
all happened.
Jones did 1t.
Since the Inauguration of the league three
years ago there has always existed a keen
rivalry between the Champs and the Eek
champs" but no matter on whom the man
tie of victory has fallen the contests have
been close and Jones has always been more
or less of an enigma to the first season cup
winners. Yesterday the collegian was as ef-
fective as the attempt of Mr.. Doyle and his
red devil to keep back the right field crowd,
and he was rustled to the dense foliage IN
short order by the erstwhile easy marks.
Captain King sent in Waller to save the
game, and he twirled a mastery game. al
lowing only three hits, and moving them
down in one-two- three order In the last
three innings.
WALKERS good work. however, awaited
nothing against Hutchinson's star perform
ance. Hutch was back in his old-time
form. and at his best with men on bases.
In both the sixth and eighth rounds, after
the first two up had hit safely, backed up
by some fast and heady fielding he retired

Each team was short one of It's star play
ers-Bradley and Prce-but their places
were well filed by McKenney and Riley, the
latter robbing Vic Bielaski of two safeties
by sensational catches, one in the trees in
deep center and the other after long run
to right center
Asquith was bit off form In the games
early stages. but later pulled off two
pretty plays. one hard drive, on which he
caught his man at second, and Atchison
made a pretty stop, quick recovery and
curate throw on hard chance from AS
quith in the fifth inning.
With Asquith down on a foul-fly in the
first Woodward doubled, Bielaski walked.
and Shoemaker sacrificed. netting four
counts. Jones succeeded in finding the
plate better in the second, and Gunton
found the ball. After Woodward had sacri-

Langley landed safely on the first ball
pitched. and Jones landed on the bench.
Wahlers shoots looked as good to Lay as
his predecessors and as ee-bagger was
the result After "Reddy had passed

number tailed. and that finished their
scoring.
In the third Rhodes was playing deep for
Bielaski, but Bruce lifted a mighty swat
over his head and romped home In the
fourth Lay singled, and Shoemaker got in
his second neat sacrifice, with none out
The only Tiger who took a fancy to
Hutch1nsons stock of puZZlerS was Charlie
King. who led in batting. with three clean
hits. Lay was close up with a three-bagger
and single out of three times up Bielasld
and Harding also got two each, and Lang
ley had apparently not awakened from his
Guriey trance, when perfect batting aver
