The Grays fastened stinging defeat on
Toronto Sunday at Rocky Point and yes
terday they repeated the dose with vari-
ations. out-nnishing the league leaders In
a way that made the fans go home hug
eine themselves with Joy. OF course n
few or the know" boys were down with
their frogskns the wrong way ana ina,
only made the ST win for the locals
all the roster. Mack was expected TO soar
most any time after he had unwound a
few woolly slants anywhere but over ana
his sandbaes looked ready TO leave MN
all the while. Duffy didn't yank him out
OF the box, although many manager
would have early In the game
The Canucks shifted pitchers and from
The change TO the ninth many Toronto
seemed TO have the game about won.
Dolan occupied the mound for the Leafs
nj the opening OF the contest, but was
benched in the fifth. Moffatt was sent
Into the box.
Thirteen times the Grays walloped tho
ball for hits. and once for three bases.
This swat was the bingle OF Abstein In
the eighth. which rolled under the car
riage fence in right field. The crowd
thought that Abstein should be given
homer by the ground rule that man
ran come all the way around when he
hits under the carriage fence. but Umpire
Owens was OF different opinion.
Bmashes. for they swatted for triples
twice. The FIRST came in the sixth. when
Dolan sent one shooting out toward left
field. Chadbourne ran up on IL. but did
not touch IL. and II went out into left.
Phelan was after II and had IL In the
field In time 10 hold Dolan at third.
The other was mighty bingle In the
ninth. which took the same route Abb
STEMS travelled. and sent two men across
the plate. putting the Leafs In the lead
by a run.
When Jack Flynn. the former Holy
Cross player and one time captain OF the
Classical Hsh school team of this city.
stepped to the plate in the second inning
he was presented with a handsome bou-
uuet OF flowers.
When Frick was at bat In the eighth
Inning Donovan caught one OF Mack's
hot ones on the thumb and was forced
10 relinquish his place behind the bat 10
Peterson Donovan caught splendid
game up TO the time he was hurt only
allowing two OF his feet-footed opponents
? 10 reach the second cushion. Donovan
hurt the same thumb n while ago and was
out OF the game for some time.
With the Torontos one run ahead OF the
Grays. when they came to bat In the
ninth, Moffatt handed a pass 10 Craw-
ford. and when Mack hit TO him he threw
10 schalfy. but Crawford was there ahead
OF the throw. and Mack was perched safe
iy TO first. With none out Mcconnell
drove one at Phyle, who made beauti-
ful stop but threw the sphere three feet
over Jack Flynn's head. letting Craw-
ford and Mack cross the plate with the
runs which won the game.
UP to that fateful ninth the rivals
Fought for victory tooth and nail, neither
seeming to be able TO gtin any decided
advantage. Providence led the Leafs three
times, while their opponents had II on
them twice. The race was close and ex-
citing and kept the fans on the hump
from start TO finish. The Leafs tied the
score In the sixth. and from that inning
until the game was won the spectators
were kept guessing as TO the final out
come. Their hopes for Providence vic
tory would rise. only to be dashed TO the
ground the next moment. when the league
leaders gained the ascendancy.
In the ninth inning Carrigan dropped
one In front OF the plate and Pete hit him
an the back with II as he ran TO first and
Phyle scored. Abstein seemed TO think
there was something phoney about the
play and told Umpire Owens what he
thought about II. Peterson also pitched
in and between them they quite over
