munition together last Friday even
ing and went on the war path to
battle against their thrice defeated
enemies, across the "big muddy"
With generous amount OF war paint
and few trophies of past victories
in their belts the bunch departed
with expectant hearts.
The first game was battle from
the start, but in the second, Pierre
got their four runs through three
errors made In double action success
sion, combined with two hits and
few horse shoes From then on
Skunk had an evil CLEAN In his eye
that meant woe for the locals.
Philip showed three runs across the
plate i'm the next few innings but
| were un able to overcome the odds
that the fatal second had cost them.
With the exception Of this one inn
ing, Philip played the best kind OF
ball and the Pirates" did not have
a semblance of chance to score.
Final fatalities, Philip 3, Pierre 4.
Batteries Philip: Skunk and Fitz-
gerald Pierre; Gardner and Adams.
Earned runs: Philip 3; Pierre l;

SUNDAY GAME.
On account of threatening weather
medium size crowd gathered to
witness the game Sunday. Lefty
Debenham was In the box for the
sod-busters and made the Capital
City boys look like monkeys. The
game was . one sided affair from the
jump, Philip scoring almost at will
while the locals never caught
glimpse Of the home plate. After the
spectators had witnessed six innings
of the slaughter with expectancy and
hope mingled with despair, the wealth
or man mercifully put an end to the
game and the umpire declared the
game over with Philip four and
"nix" for Pierre.
Defendants pitching was the
brilliant feature of the game, strick-
ing out men and allowing but two
hits. The south paw was foxy and
with the dope and "spirits-can't see
'em" all the time.
Batteries Philip, Debenham and
Fitzgerald, Pierre WampaHgh and
Adams. Bases off balls: Wambaugh
2; struck out by Debenham 8, Wam-
baugh 2: hit by pitched ball, Walpole,
Freeze. Attendance 300. Umpire
Stewart
MONDAY GAME
On account of the rain Sunday
game was arranged to be played Mon
day at II o'clock to allow the Philip
bunch to catch the train at 2:38. A
few of Pierres most noted and devoted
fans were out to see this little practice
game and 1t turned out to be more
exciting battle than either of thetwo.
Philip secured lead on the start
and up to the Eth had the locals we'll
coralled but few opportune hits and
some errors more opportune and the
Pirates swung around on the home
stretch and went under the wire
ahead. Score to I.
Batteries: Philip-Paige and Fitz-
gerald; Pierre Gardner and Adams.

Quoted by Mr.. Bruno. On Sunday Mr..
