 Doeffensmith.
(py Albert L. ponnelly.)

Loveday's bunt, after Visei had sim gled and had been advanced to third on Williams safe bunt along the first base line, scored Visel with the win hing run for the Putnams in the ninth inning of their close and exciting struggle with the strong Seymour team, the final score being to ,. The first game at O'Connell's lot yesterday afternoon was an easy victory for the Putnams. Potter who handed them over to the All-Consolidated team, al- lowing but one hit in five innings and striking out seven in that short period.
 The chief contest of the afternoon between the Putnams and the Sey- mour band, who have been trimming every nine that dared to cross their path in their tour of the state, was a thriller. Loose playing by both teams at untfmely intervals did not deaden their spirit and enthusiasm shown by the meager bunch of spectators, as the score at all stages of the game was close. Doeffensmith, O'Connelps clever twirler, was in splendid form His cures worked beautifully in but one or. two occasions, when the visitors talk ing advantage of his temporary weak ness welted out one or two long drives. gathering total of five runs. Doef- fensmith had a total of ten strikeouts to his credit, while O'Donnell, picked by the Seymour captain to twirl against the Putnams, had a total of five. Timely bingles and doubles plucked from O'Donnell's gentle deliv- cry, ten in number, developed just runs enough to overcome the tallies worked in by the visitors through costly errors by four of the Putnams.
 The fielding of visel for the Put nams and the hitting of Gale and Gehu of the Seymours were the. feat ures of this close struggle. Of course, the acrobatic work of O'Brien in cen terfield deserved special notice. This noisy star has it on all the other sev- enteen players in working in spectacu- lar plays to draw forth applause or ripples of laughter from this Sunday gathering. The methods employed by this marvellous actor were simple in thought, but difficult in execution. He would make the easiest catch appear hard to overtake, manage and cap ture. Turning somersaults in the air after making one of these glorious feats was but one of his too numerous to relate exhibitions of spine e-breaking performances. Shuster, the Seymour catcher, seemed also to be full of such inspiration, but they could hardly be termed par with the works of his worthy brother. Shueters principal method of working the too sober crowd up to happy pitch was his comical and innocent questions which he put to Umpire Breyden. The poor "ump.," abashed and biushing from mortifca- tion, attempted to answer the players quiries in likewise comical manner, but he was not capable of equalling Shuster's remarks.
 Leyden's single in the first round scored Gale with Seymour's first run. Williams wild heave and doubles into the crowd in left field by Gehn and Gale handed the visitors a brace of runs in the fourth. Leyden's two-bag- ger followed immediately by Deady's long drive for three bases over Wood- cocks head in right field pushed anoth- CT run across the rubber in the fifth. Gehn, after driving out safe bingle, over short, followed by a stolen base and a passed ball, scored Seymour's last run in the sixth.
 For the Putnarns in the second, Doep- pensnlith walked was sacrifled by O. Cornell to second and came home on IDeady's tumble. Rogers got to first on Maloney's slow work in handling. an easy grasser. Pendergast singled, scor-
 ing Rogers. ODonnelrs wild toss of Visel's slow bounder allowed Pender- gast to cross the rubber Three runs, O'Connells single coupled with Rog- CTS double added another run to the Putnam's total in the third. Wood- cocks timely drive into deep center for two bases in the sixth pushed Rogers across the plate, tieing the score. In the ninth inning Doeppensmith's S splendid work stopped the visitors from scoring for the local team, Visel singled was advanced to third on Williams safe brunt along the first base line and
 scored on Loveday's roller to O'Don- nell.
