door after them.
1t was most excruclating and pitt
full ordeal. the score being 2 for the
Drummers and II for the visitors.
AS Peggy Doyle would say, 1t is a
very difficult matter to cite the heiro-
glyphics OF the fray; but in some I'M
accountable manner the men in whom
fond hopes of the First Position rest,
lost their numbers and then got lost
themselves.
A SMASH UP.
For six simmerlng sessions the
game belonged to almost any body
and clarksburg was one run to the
good; hut in the seventh the Hoe
makers cut loose and began to break
the game up. And they did not fin
ish the oh until Daley had batted for
the second time in the eighth chapter,
at which time the score board was
heavily weighted with Charleroi tai
lies and the scorers were tearing
their hair and curslng as to just ex-
actly how many foozles had been
executed in the field.
Six singing, smashing, sizzling
swatterinos were sent scoreward in
those two awful chapters and they
were most unbecomingly garnished
with an assortment of errors and
rum-dum playing.
Mccormick had charge of the tar
get range for the Moguls, but let 1t
be said right here that the lop-sided
finish was not altogether McCormick's
fault, although he was pretty much
to the bad for spell. He had about
THE WORST SUPPORT

Until the fatal seventh he had allow

bit discouraged and made few wild

HUMPHREYS did slab duty for the
visitors. But while he did good
work, he was not in hitless form and
the Moguls managed to select eight,
bingles from his delivery. He wasI
well supported. however, and the
Cherubs followed the ball around like
hungry hawks.
HUMPHREYS SCORES ONE.
Charleroi got man across thcI
goal OF gladness in the third. Humph-
ries banged one toward McAvoy who
made mistake letting the batsman
to first. Nally attempted to sacri-I

but was put out catcher to first. AL
howl went up but Charleroi threaten
ed to protest the game and 1t was let
go as sacrifice Dunn dinged Al
stlnger to Drumm who erred and this
was followed by high fly that fell
in near right between Bobby Cohoway
and Jimmy Clark, each expecting the
other to get It. and in the resulting
confusion HUMPHREYS hoofed It'll
homeward. Cosgrove placed one toI
Drumm who threw to McGinty at sec,
ond and caught Dunn there makingI
a double play.
SlAsthNsobNIkNH - ONI1s
Clarksburg did its all and only in
the same paragraph. McGinty was
murdered, short to first. McAvoy|
was presented with dead head ticket
to the incubator. Mccormick maui
ed the marble into left moorland for
base and +. Dawson repeated the
trick with terrific slam. Osborne.
fumbled around with the pellet a
bit and McAvoy started homeward
and scored. When Osborne tried to
nail McAvoy at the plate Daley miss
ed the ball and the Mogul third
sacker came across in safety. The
ball was fielded and when Mccormick

was hit by the pitcher and Conoway
got walk, but Gribben was guillo-

DUNN CAUGHT AT PLATE.
The Cherubs came near counting
up in the sixth but were not given
the privilege. Dunn led or with a
safety into left and was followed by
a scratchy infield bingle near first.
A wild pitch followed and the men
moved up a base Cosgrove got a
pass and the bases were full. Then
Mccormick lifted himself out of
nice hole by tanning Heinz. Daley
lifted the ball into Johnny Dawsons
premises but Johnny was there and
made dandy throw in that caught
Dunn at the platter.
Conoway led of with a nice single
into middle field when the Moguls
went to bat Gribben struck out and
