WON 1T IN THE ELEVENTH.
WITH A TIMELY DOUBLE
--HoPPERs BEAT
ALICE.
HOW THEY STAND.

Oh Lord. bless the Mud WALLPAPERS
for We, terday they won what is be
yond doubt the most beautiful game
OF ball seen this season from the In
cians In ten inning contest, and in
81 doing nearly set some two or three
hundred enthusiastic fans crazy and
made them At subjects, for the time
being for the foolish factory.
Such game as 1t was are what cause
the game as whole to be known as
the national sport. and when played
as beautifully as it was yesterday it
is surely entitled to the cognomen
and as much more as the fans can
say. 1t was great 1t was elegant
The best ever Out of sight. Got all
predecessors backed clear of the
boards, and everything in that line
that can be thought Of
Was Pitchers Battle.
It was more of a pitchers battle
than anything else, though 1t was
marked from start to finish with clean
and fast fielding. Holycross, for the
Giants, was In wonderful form and al
lowed the poor Indians but FIVE hits.
NO two OF which were secured in one
inning. Brahic, the kid of the Paduke
staff, was not a whit behind him and
let the Giants have but four, also scat
tered But where all the hits Off Holy
were singles those off Brahic included
three two baggers.
To be short and terse the game was
saved by Mcnamara and won by Hip
pert, who has now established we'll
earned reputation as being one Of the
most timely hitters on the team, and
who may be relied upon for long
one In Il pinch, won 1t In the tenth
Inning.
How Game Was Saved.
Mcnamara saved it in the eighth
inning, when, with one man out Chief
Lloyd, who was playing In the center
garden for his team, lived on an error
OF his drive by Larsen, went to sec.
ond on sacrifice, and started to
score on Brahic's clean hit to the
right field II was McNamara's beau
tiful throw of the ball after he had
fielded It and Lloyd's slow running
that kept the day from being lost.
From deep right Mac sailed the little
sphere TO the plate and with the chief
within four feet of it 1t plunked into
Haryey's mitt and was gently laid
against Lloyds shoulder and he was
declared out.
Several chances had both teams te
win the game, slim It's true, but never
theless strong enough to cause thu
fans to hold their breath III fear 81
jcy, but 1t was not until the final hal
Of the tenth that the big thing came
off in reality.
Funny Business in Tenth.
Ia the first half of the final inning
the fans nearly went crazy through
fear that they were going to be rob
bed of the game, but at last they wer,
relieved by q reversal OF his decision
BY Jumps Keifer The play calling 10
decision by him was a most pecu
liar one. Potts had gone to first on
clean hit, and with one man OUT, an
Gilligan, who was at the bat, sent
pop fly which was dropped by Hippert
Recovering the ball he sailed it I
Roland at second, who sent 1t {
Hughes. who touched Gilligan as h
neared the sack. All the time thi
play had been going on Potts had bee
roosting on first and had not left
s for a second. The nmps, though, wer
up In the air and called both Pott
and Gilligan out and the Cairo tear
came trotting into the bench. Whe
they were all seated and the umpir
had taken charge OF the ball Pot
started on tour Of the bases frol
first and crossed the plate. His teal
appealed to Umpire Kiefer to allo
/. 1.-The run, saying that Roland had n,
been covering second when he r
ccivea Hippert's throw, and that co
sequently Potts was not out and
ought to count. Keifer gave as h
