 A feeble rally combined with an error by Lyhner saved the Israel Putnams from whitewash at the hands of the fast Tigers, yesterday afternoon, at O'ConnelPs lot in Highwood, Williams and Loyeday scored the two runs in the ninth which somewhat narrowed the breach between their tallies and the thirteen accumulated by the Tigers in the nine rounds of this comedy.

 Torgerson assumed the responsibility of tossing them over to the hungry Ti- gers during the first pert of the game His curves failed to break properly and his straight ones refused to find the spot When they did come over they were most offensive Tn this line. Torgerson gave up tha ghost after the fourth inning, Loveday was called in from right field to deliver the godds. He had spell of hard luck in his first iaring. His first difficulty was in To- eating the plate and then a couple Of long flies sailed into the crowd which should have been out but according tc the ground rules, they were two-bag- gers, Poor support caused the rest. A summary of the damage totalled five runs. After this stage, Loveday allow ed but one hit this coming in the ninth, but causing no serious damage.

Loveday drove out two of the Putnafn's four hits, bringing in l Williams with the first run in the ninth | inning Stewart held the batting hon ors for the Tigers, getting three hits, one of them a two-bagger,

 Loveday went into the box in the sixth after throwing three wild ones at Burke. He managed to toss the next three over the platter favoring the batter.

 The poor playing of the Putnams was the prominent feature of the game, their rank fielding and poor judgment with men on bases causing more than half of the Tigers runs
