 But to get back to yesterdays game .-McCamerty was on the hill wi.n Hart catching and Whitey Guese on first and maybe Whitey can't play that bag. His work proved that Ryan had nor only gotten hold of high class pitch CT but at the same time uncovered a utility man that will stack up with anything in the country. He nelded Tn of tn em an assist that was cleVer--and got one of the hits.
 McCafferty was pitching a game of ball that would have held the Nash vile crew safe-only six hits were made off him, one Of the Nashville runs coming over on an error and one on play that Hub Hart went to sleep on. Climbers were beginning to hit Duggan pretty frequently-only one run was needed by Ryan's bunch to tie at the end of the seventh inning and 1t look ed pretty good for Montgomery to land the big end of the final score.
 The first run came over in the first inning Wh en Bay walked ana olQ some tall sprinting going to third on Wise mans hit to Greminger and scoring on East's hit by McCafferty.
 A run came in the second inning when Siegle hit long fly that after hard run Jimmy Ryan just got to in time to drop. the runner getting to second and going to third on Daubert's hit to Guese-then Butler hit one in front of the plate-Hart got 1t and was close enough to stop Seigle who was sprinting in from third but for some reason he did not try for him and threw his man out at first. the run scoring
 In the last of the second there were two out when Guese hit one to right that was good for two bags, scoring when Pope smashed out q twobagger to left, making the count 2 to l.
 McElveen hit safe In the fourth but was forced at second on SeiRle's hit to McCaferty-with two down Butler hit one over McCafferty and Selgle scored, making 1t 3 to 1.
 Then in the fourth the Climbers pushed over the run as described above and what happened afterwards am chored Montgomery safely in the first division. The score was:
