Punched The PROFESSORS
COPS VICToRS 10 TO 6
Slow Game at Water Street
Lot Goes to Lauten-
bach's Nine.

Poor fielding by pickup team call
ed the PROFESSORS" in the fifth in
ming won another battle for the police
nine at Water street lot yesterday aft
ernoon by the score Of IS to 8.
The contest varied with fast fielding
and sluggish fielding. with periods of
heavy hitting now and then. The cops
did not play their usual fast game, but
still Manager Roche and Captain Lau-
tenbach are not discouraged. The
team work was not as good as in the
previous games. Callahan, a new try
out at short stop, did not make very
startling debut, as he dropped couple
of high flies, letting in two runs.
Sullivan was in the box for the police,
as Captain Lautenbach wished to save
Dermody as much as possible for tho
great battle with the Winchester's on
Saturday at Savin Rock Sullivan
seemed content in throwing straight
balls over the plate, and for four in
nings had the opposing batsmen at his
mercy. In the fifth, however, they
found themselves, and hammered sew
eral hits off his delivery. A few of
these were only Of the scratch variety,
and others were caused by misjudg
ment on the part of the felders. An
toneln was hit hard by the police in
the fifth and was relieved by Toryano.
In order to keep in practice Cassidy
caught for the PROFESSORS" and he
played good game. He hurt his fin
ger in the fifth inning, but still resum-
ed the contest Tracy was behind the
bat for the cops, and held his own
throughout the game, Captain Lauten-
bach at first was all there with the
goods as usual He made one exceed
ingly pretty stop Of Cookies throw in
the fourth with one hand and received
much applause from his excited back
ers. Doherty covered the middle sta
ton with much glory and Lyons at
third stopped every thing that came
his way. Connolly in left field made
some pretty catches, and Kerrigan and
Welch covered their positions well.
A ree-bagger by Toryano, the fast
third baseman of the 'Progressors'
was the only big hit of the day. The
hit brought in two runs. AS usual the
PROFESSORS" filled their positions
clearly, except in the fifth inning, and
anything which came their way was
/ quickly gobbled up.
Heavy hitting in the first inning
scored two runs for the protectors of
the peace, and they held the lead only
untilsthe third, when a. couple of errors
by Callahan scored two runs for the
"Progressors."
The fifth inning was marked by con-
tinual circuitins of the bases by both
teams. The cops rolled around nine
times whiletheir opponents were only
able to make the round six times.
The police team pinched the contest
In the sixth by bringing two more men
across the platter. The "Progressors
trier in vain to score in their half of
the seventh, but they failed, and the
see-saw game went to the cops.
