but the same old story that IS ever new in
base ball-one bad inning did the bust
ness. Sheckells who had been invincible
up to that time was solved by Clear for
a safety, which proved the sulphur that
set fire to the birthstone that burned
brightly for Calvary throughout the inning
and lighted the way for the former leaders
Into the second position.
Foundry's hopes also scared high in the
fourth, but only for few short moments.
Bryan led off with a sashing single. and
AtchisOn followed suit and sent Harry to
third. Atchiso1 stole second. The Foundry
crowd went wild with excitement. Charley
King went out B1elaski to Clear, and then
Doc Pomeroy hit a hummer right at
Lord. who .by "A beautiful stop and a quick
return to Hayden, caught Bryan at the
plate by an eyelash. Two out Hutchinson
sent a hot one to Vic Bieiaskl which looked
like Il safe one, but Vic was the goods
and sailed it in good time to Clear. Sell

seen on the hill grounds
Then came Calvarys turn. the turn that
ouenched all of Foundry's bright hopes.

won and that north-end bleacher crowd
was happy.

year.
Lord made two seemingly Impossible bare

all over and Bryan twice romped through
the crowd and captured hard chances. But

Donors. Twice in the fifth he made beau

second one for the last out close to the

from the ground. Doc fell and played

he froze to the main propostion-the sphere.
