situation.
The Rosebuds made an ideal baseball
day glorious with fast playing and did
better work without the help or pres
epce of McCredie. No one knew where
the judge had hidden, but it was whis-
pered about the eighth inning that he
had gone on a hunt for new material

stand being packed to the muzzle.

est success that Hen Berry ever drew
off at Chutes. The playing deserved the

enthusiastic enough to deserve the great

a raw throw wild to first that was too
much even for lanky Dillon, and the
former was responsible for Basseys run.

day In the ninth. Bobby worked q
squeeze play at the very last and Nagle
squeezed in by the skin Of his teeth,
Byrnes, in trying to catch him out on
home, fumbling difficult ball as 1t
hinged into the plate.
Kennedy made the most brilliant CATCH
in the second half of the sixth, when he
ran clear over to the right edge of the
stand and nailed Eagers low foul near
the boards.
Cravath and Brashear, with none out in
the seventh. came through with great
batting seance that furnished the spec
