4 BASE BALL =

Kennedy wiped out all old scores
against Egan yesterday and had the
.sweets satisfaction of swapping the
Burlington manager and his team UNI
der the score of to O.. Egan has not
received worse beating this season.
and the defeat was doubly humiliating
in a large measure responsible for the
severity of the beating. Burlngton's
play was even more Wretched and mis-
cradle than the game played by the To-
Gals the day before. Burlington did not
take brace and pull together after the
first period of bad breaks, but con-
tinued to make poor plays, until ali
hope of winning had vanished.
In addition to being unable to handle
the ball clearly Slapnicka stood in the
visitors way and prevented them from
hitting at all effectively. The local
pitcher threw one Of the best games
Of the season. He proved especially
strong and steady when there was a
prospect of his opponents scoring, and
he managed to stave off the hits SO
we'll that no two of the six Burlington
got were hit out in the same inning
The result of such pitching. and the
very good support his teammates gave
him, was that Burlington never came
close to scoring but twice, and botn
times the runners died on third base.
Every sort of misplay, fumbles, WHO
throws and passed balls Of which there
were plenty, proved costly for the VS.
itors, and each one served to help
Kennedy's men in their efforts to score.
Burg's error in the first inning let KING
come home from second. Donovan
failed to handle Burg's ground mt IN
the second inning, and the misplay let
Slapnicka in. In addition to the mis-
plays Mcmillan was wild, and his Wild
ness, especially in the last two innings
helped swell the score. Without a nit
