to 10
The much discussed ball game
between the Fats and the Leans came
off Tuesday afternoon, and as q con-
sequence the Leans are sadder and
wiser lot. The Fats won in a seven
inning game by a score of IL to 10,
with an inning to their credit, it not
being necessary for them to clout the
ball any longer, as their score was
sufficient.
Although practically all the PLAYERS
had not played ball for some wears,
some really excellent plays were made,
and the errors were less than might be
expected.
The Leans went to bat first with
Meyer up, who was passed. but a
moment later put out by Batters, as
he led off at first, while the Fats
pitcher was going through some
preliminary exercises. Lafond was
the next man up and was also passed,
it not being a hard matter for a
pitcher to throw on either side of this
Slim without varying over three
inches--at the most Harrigan, the
next man up, hit to ". Hall at first,
and there was nothing to it, Hall
acting as though he was ashamed to
take the goods. Willing sent hot
liner to the pithcer, and the lrnlng
was over.

and sat down. McNally went out on a
foul which was gobbled up by Kaliher.
