Dame Fortune smiled upon the
Lime Burners yesterday afternoon at
Webb park and New Castle was de-
feated in the opening game of the
series by score of 3 to 2 in ten
Innings.
The contest was exciting throughout
and many times the fans were brought
to their feet by pretty plays that
kept the run column clean. The err
Iratic fielding of the visiting aggrega-
tion was in large measure respon-
sible for the victory of the Lime
Burners.
Sanford Burk was the HEAVIER for the
Lime Burners. His work was at
times exceedingly brilliant and at
Others very poor. When he could
locate the plate. he would fan the
Opposing batters In order and when he
Icould not fan them he passed them
or allowed the ball TO strike some
part of their anatomy Burk made
twelve of the Nocks Whit the breeze,
walked six of them and hit two. In
critical places he was invincible.
The performance of Limric was al
so quite brilliant. He kept the
eleven safeties OF the locals well scat
tered, and made nine of them Law
down their clubs and walk back to the
bench. Two OF the runs made by
tine locals were secured on errors. In
the pinches, Limrlc was like Burk.
unhittable

loin second and then famed both
