 Poundstone. WAS THEN PLAYED OFF Christian Association Team Resort cd to Bunting Ball. west End Players Went Up in the Air and Did Net Get Back
 Until Too

In a see-saw but very interesting kind of game in which the score was tied four times, the Y. M. C. A. boys nosed out West End yesterday after noon by. score of to 6.
 The Y. M. c. As really won the game twice, as Umpire Tombstone for feited the game to them by score or to in the ninth inning.
 It was like this: With the score standing to 6 in favor of the Y. M c. A at the end of the eighth inning the West End aggregation went to bat in the first half of the ninth They had a runner on first base with one out when the batter hit the Dal to BOD Thorington, who was pltcning TOT the Y. M. c. A.
 As soon as the ball was hit the run ner started for second. Digging up the hit Thorington wheeled and nred the ball to Hannon on second base.
 The play had to be made like light ming, the ball and the runner getting to second pretty close together. Um- pire Poundstone calling the runner out. Then there was a mighty howl from West End, that entire team with the manager in for 1agniappe formed close circle around his 'umphs, every man on them having speaking part
 Tombstone, however, pluckily stuck to his decision, and as the west End people refused to go on with the game he walked to the grandstand, and an- nounced that the game was forfeited to the Y. M, c. As g to O. put on his coat and left the field. After lot more adjectives- had been spilled by both sides, Manager Moriarity tf the r. M. c. As, in order to Keep down as much friction as possible, agreed to play the game out and let West End have a chance to win If they could. The second base decision. how ever, stood, and made two out with man on first The next batter hit fly which Thorington, ". the Y. M. c. A. shortstop, pulled down-and the game was over.
 Both teams put up a good game. while Mosley for West End and Thor ington for the Y. M. c. A. pitched fine ball, each of them striking out in by the F., M. C.. A. five of them resulted from well placed bunts. the bunting game being resorted to when it was seen that Mosley's speed was too much for them.
 west End started off by scoring in the first inning. the Y. M. c. A. tie- ing 1t in the second. West End untie- ing 1t in the third.
 Tn the fourth. with one man on base Masley pounded out home run. mak- ing the score to 1.
 The Y. NJ. c. A. got one more In the last of the fourth, making it to 2. West End getting one more run in the sixth and making 1t to 7.
 Tn the last of the sixth succession of bunts with daring baserunntng put the West End crowd in the air and scored three runs,. tieing the score again.
 In the first of the seventh West End eot in a run, making it to 5 in their favor. Right here was where West End made fatal mistake--Mosley had been pitching great ball and his hit ting had so far won the game for them. Tn the last half of the seventh, however, Harwell was sent to the box in place of Mosley the Y. M. c. A. scoring two runs and as it turned out winning the game by a score of to s, West End being unable to unite it in the eighth or ninth. The score was: West End-.. ....... .101 201 100-6 Y NJ. c.
