Won and lost, won again, and then
finally lost was the story of yester-
days game with the Boomers. Lun-
din was in the box again for the first
time in a coon's age, and he did fine
work up till the very last inning. when
everybody aided him to lose the game
which had been won in the inning be-
fore. The game started off with con-
siderable speed, and up till the sixth
round but one run had been scored
and but four hits totalcd for both
teams
The one run was on the bad side of
the board and came as the result of
Lundy passing a pair of the visitors
and then allowing hit that sent one
of them across the pan.
In the champs half of the sixth they
made the lonely run of the visitors
look like 80 cents and to the minds OF
the fans cinched the game. 1t hap
lpened on a row of four hits, one OF
them a two-sacker off the stick of big
James Novacek. Three runs crossed

INDUCED In a Smile.

1t looked easy, from the way Lundin
was tossing them up, and everybody
smiled a happy smile. But the smile
came too soon, for in the next inning
Cook made an error, so did Berger, and
Wilson and Long swatted out hits.
The combination of hits and errors
was good for a pair of runs, and the
game was tied. Cooks error came
when there were two men gone. 1t
was an easy roller that Fox plugged
lat him, and yet he fumbled it just long
lenough to allow the runner to reach
the sack. Then came Longs hit to
center and when Murphy lined it in to
Berger to relay home, Joe saw it was
too late to cut off the man at the plate
and so he turned to throw to third.
| That looked dangerous, too, and he de
cided to hold on to the ball, but his
| deeision came too late, for he had al
ready pulled the trigger and the bal
landed somewhere between home plate
and third base, and when Wise finally
found it over by the grandstand the
second run had crossed the pan, max
| ing it tie.
In the next inning Bloomington go
a run and took the lead again for {
time. A hit by Stevens, sacrifice b!
Goodwin, and stolen base and Eng.
punk peg in trying to stop a stoler
base, let the run in.

Team Not weakened.

Orendorff filled the breach in the
team by going to right field, allowing
Long to go to center, while Goodwin
went to short. The change was good
one for the team, as it added hitter
to the list in place of Snyder, who
makes a hit only on his birthdays At
the same time the infield was not
weakened to speak of. as Goodwin is
not slow in that department.

Lead Not Kept Long.

The lead of the visitors was brief,
however, for in the eighth the champs
got after Fox again Novacek hit over
second base and Cook made a martyr
of himself. Mcbride hit and went to
second while the Boomers tried to
stop Novacek at the plate without
success. An untamed pitch, Mr.. Fox's
second one of the game, put Mac on
third, from where he scored on Engs
hit. Again the run-getting stopped
