Calvary vs.. Sixth.
Fifth Boys Won Good Contest.

Fifth and Metropolitans, section BIS stars
last season. clashed again yesterday and
grappled nightly for victory for seven In
nings, when the latter blew up. landing the
little end of the score Q to 2.
AS one of Fffth's players put it. they
went in the game with half-dead and alive
team. owing to the absence of some of the
regular players. and during the early tn
nings the game looked to be Nets. as Fifth
could not touch Zirkle and Mcknight had
been found for four hits In the first two
innings. But the game progressed Fifth
grew stronger and in the seventh cfinched
the game.
1t was most remarkable game In many
respects, more particularly In the battle OF
the pitchers In which Mcknight had the
better of the argument at the finish. For
six innings Fifth did not get hit off Zir-
kle's speedy benders, and In the seventh
made four. On the other hand. after Nets

scratch semblance OF hit off Mac.

passing only-one. Zirkle's wildness did
much toward losing his game. In the first
inning Swan scored after getting to first
by bad bump on his salary wing. and the
trouble in the unlucky seventh was started
by base on balls to Hurley.
Another interesting feature of the game
was the boomerang the MetS Threw dl

ing gone three rounds without getting
man to first, they tried the bunt game. with
the result that they went to the bench on
three Pitched balls. Mcknight handling all

great favorite with the crowds. while Ed

populace turned traitor like one and

and got the score sewed up. Then they
fought along through even innings till the
twelfth and the great decision. The de-
cision which cost Stahl and Company a
game was peach" "Jiggs" Donohue
was the first batsman for the Sox in the
twelfth. He hit down to Altizer and that
young man hurled the ball mile too high.
Donohue mushed. hiked and trekked. He
went on blazes for third with the ball in
fun cry behind him. As he slid Cross
out so far that he didn't even know what

said safe
The scene that followed looked like a
chapter of Dante's Inferno. They shrieked

Evans chased Cross and Kitson and Long
Tom went in to get his doom. 1t a
hopeless situation but Tom did his best

Up 10 the seventh Walsh shut out the
visitors without a ghost Of hit. In this
round Altizer beat out a scratch and in

double netted run. hen Jones removed
Walsh and the crowd raved and ragged.
With two out in the ninth Stahl singled
stole second. skipped TO third on Harris bad
throw. and scored when Charlie Jones tore

had acquired two in the early stages the
teams were even up. and settled down to a
long siege of extra inning. while the

demons. And in the twelfth came that
decision and the undeserved downfall of

their misplays by their hard hitting, six
teen hits being made by them
Two twfrlers, Haney and McClane, were
used up by the Blanks in an effort to
stem the tide of defeat. but neither showed
much form and they were both batted
all over the lot Gotter did the twfrifns

In the first Haney was safe on Thomp-
