To Save the Day and He
Lost II, Eaton Landing For
Two Bases On First Ball

The Champions got back at Ottawa
on the home grounds yesterday after
two successive shut outs, but it took
twelve innings Of fast ball playing to
do it.
With two Inttercity men on bases
and one down in the last half Of the
18th and with the Canadians one run
to the good, Capt. Dorman pulled WAIT
son out Of the box and put in big
Hildebrand. George Eaton laid his bat
against the first ball pitched by the
ex- Princetonian and while Sanger was
chasing the ball Elliott scampered across
the plate with the tying tally and close
behind him speed Ashmore with the
winning run, although the ball was re-
layed in SO fast that Ashmore had an
extremely close call. The score was

baseball so uncertain and 50 tremen-
dously exciting. Nearly 1900 people
witnessed the game and were kept on
pins and needles all the afternoon.
The Champions played q faultless
game in the field, making not the least
semblanee of an error. There were
also some plays little short of mar
velous. The outfirld covered a great
deal Of territory, and with the excep-
tion of one fly which Davis lost sight
OF IN the sun, captured everything that
could be captured. The infield dug
grounders out of the dirt in finished
style and followed them up with light
ming throws 10 the bases. Williams
and Elliott had their hands full and
little "Bobby Burns" in the pitchers
box played a splendid fielding game.
Ashmore pulled in wide throw from
Williams with his bare hand in the
eleventh inning and saved the nearest
approach to an error. Eaton behind
the bat supported Burns as he only
can.
Ottawa, on the contrary, played
loose fielding game, making total Of
eight errors. Murphy was the chief OF
fender, being badly at sea. Murphy fun
blcd two erounders, threw wild to first
once and dropped a throw again. Ray
contributed two errors, while Durkee and
Dofman had one each on ground hits.
