They are n great lot of stickers. but wiltse and West held them down to six hits each giving three. Errors figured very largely in the run-getting of the visitors. Rockville's misplays were costly. The new men. wiltse. Collins and Shean played star ball, and the fans are delighted with their showing. Collins and Shean are fast pair. and assisted by Elrod, executed the fast est double ever seen on the diamond. The pair was like a lightning flash. so quick that the Giants didn't see 1t before it was over. Collins accepted his six chances without an error Shean accepted his field chances per fectly, but dropped a ball thrown down by Paine to catch the runner. It was decided before the game to work both Wiltse and West. Wiltse pitched the first four innings and made fine impression. The Giants made two runs on him, but errors were responsible for one of the brace. He famed four men. West held the Giants until the seventh inning. when the squeeze play proved his undoing Doherty made star catch In the feh. Murray. who has been playing second, has been released.

elephants and clown every day, but,
like very few boys, he had an oppor-

Of the once enticing career, and having
severed his connections with the insti-
tutions, he was making his way home

funds.
He was released this morning and
he says that when he again gets his
feet under the table at home, he will
be content to merely study the lurid
posters, and watch the show from the
seat he has earned from carrying
water to the elephant.
R. T. Sample, charged with drunken
