NO BASES
Were Touched by Twenty.
Seven Batsmen Who Faced
Pitcher Evans.

There may be rush of big league
managers to Grab Pitcher Charles
Evans from the Hartford team: Not
by fluke. but rather by sensational
work on the rubber, Charles Evans
one OF the pitchers on the Hartford
team of the Connecticut league, es-
tahlishcd what is undoubtedly
worlds record in organized baseball,
when a game which he pitched
against Bridgeport is thoroughly an
alyzed.
Evans not only stepped into the
charmed circle Of great twirlers
who have pitched a no-hIt no-run
game, but in this contest not a man
on the Bridgeport team reached
first base. There are only three
known similar records in baseball
made by Richmond, of Worcester:
John Ward, OF New York; and Cy
Young, of Boston. Evans's record.
however. probably goes a shade
ahead of the other men from the
fact that not ball was hit to the
outfield during the game. The
Hartford inhclders retired every one
OF the 81 men who faced Evans in
the battle.

WEAK SPOT
There Seems to Be in Union
town 0utfield-FIie
Get Away.

There seems to be weak spot in
the UnIontown out field. Files
which should be easy outs 20 for
hits. Often hits which should only
be singles go for extra bases.
The inHeld is working all right.
Hilley is still doing heavy stunts ut
the old stand on third brick, getting
the pill in the air or in the mire as
the occasion requires. Since Man
ager McCloskey has returned to tho
game Cowan and Gilligan have been
working at short. Both men are
fast flelders and good hitters. and 1t
is difficult task to make a choice
between them. Price and McClos-
key are working their end of the dia-
mond in great style, numbering all
kinds OF fast ones on their way TO
the outheld.
Redman continues to do most of
the catching. F'rankenberry, the
speedy Point Marion boy, is taking a
much needed rest, but could get Into
the fray with good results at any
moment.

Cormick
Ferdy Drumm's Braves Take
Another Step in the
League Race.

GRAFTON, Aug. 4-Ferdy Drumm
and his Mogul band took the En-
giaeers over again in a one-sided
game here yesterday afternoon. the
score being IL to @.
Mccormick was the hero of the day
on the mound as he pitched a fine
game and held the Graftonians down
10 five scattered hits. Hazleton did
slab work for Grafton, but the Moguls
located his delivery and by the eighth
inning the visitors had him going. He
was hauled out to the bench and Stats
Mcllvaine pushed into the box.
Slatsey Old Boy did not do much bet
ter, but the visitors had the game
nailed up in a box ready to take home
and there was no need of eating him
up
Two telling errors on the part OF
the Round House Men in the field
helped the Drummers in piling up
the runs. Clarksburg palyed we'll in
the field and made no slip ups.
Uncle Augustus, Pete, Vivian and
Rupert, the well known Clarksburg|
fans, were on hand ard helped the
excitement along with some noisy
rotoing.
Umpire McCleary seemed to be a
bit off on several decisions and he
was the butt of number of very
sarcastic remarks.

"We, the people of New Hampshire,
Massachusetts, Nirginia"-but it be-
came impossible to retain this form
after the adoption OF the seventh and

reason that 1t was impossible to de-
