the game from the Brownies Wednes-
day afternoon by a score of to 8.

coming in the sixth inning, when six
galloped around the diamond at will.

and the long, lank fellow hoped that
Manager Brown would relieve him of
the torture. Brown decided that it
was a good time to try him and see
how he would act under such circum-
stances. He settled down after that,
and there was little doing for the To-
Gals.
Burnett, the boy wonder, occupied
the box for the locals and has the
credit of winning the first game from
the Brownies out of four played. The
little fellow had very good control
and plenty of speed, allowing but sew
en- hits. some of them being of very
scratchy nature, due to listless field

Reese's balloon became inflated in
the sixth and the tall fellow took tr. ],

bee led off with good single, Brennan
hit to Williams and secured first on
an inexcusable error, when Sheldon
swatted' for a neat two sacker, scor-
ing Brennan and Frisbee. Anklam
came up and swatted the sphere for
a nice single and Virgins took first,
advancing Anklam, while Sheldon went
down taking chances on reaching home.
Walker swatted the sphere for fast

first. futile came up and lined out
good two-bagger scoring Virgins
and Walker. Burnett made nice
single and Tuttle scored by a close
margin. Stump then lined out another
two-base drive, placing Burnett on
the danger sack, and the latter was
tagged trying for home. Frisbee came
