Springfield Union.)

Holyoke, Aug. 31.-Paying their fare we'll visit of the season to the pulp metropolis yesterday afternoon, Uncle Jeems O'Rourke's basement dwellers were right on the verge of carrying away a coat of whitewash as a me mento of the final trip, when they sal lied forth in the ninth inning and not only kicked over the kalsomine buck ct, but made a big bid to lug off the most prized portion of the score. Up to the time that they tossed that scare into McCormack men they had gath cred but a single scratch hit and were three tallies in the rear, and didn't seem to have the ghost of a chance to collect any counts. Then suddenly two an error slipped in from somewhere and two runs were over. Though men were still left on second and third, the hit that might have tied or won was denied them, and the day was saved.
 Until he weakened in the last sec ton, Artie Romers pitching was con- tinually in the glare of the calcium, the way in which he swept the O'Rourkelings aside being a revela- tion to the fans and surprise to the visitors, who have seldom gone with out bagging good sized bunch of belts in every game, even though they generally finish up on the gloomy side of the score. For eight successive in nings Romer had blanked his old play mates. Hi Ladd had had the only hit up to tbat period a hard sh in the gers and deflected into short, rolling away so slow that Mccormack could not quite get it to first to. choke off x the clout CT. This same player had been the only one to pass first, when he walked in the second and took sec ond on a sacrifice Two others had reached Duggan,s neighborhood on passes ROmer had much to do with the absence of hits, by bringing down nine of the Orators strikes.
 Opening up the ninth, Hilt whipped a single into left almost before Ro- nler realized what had happened. Up came Ladd and the veteran slapped : another into center. and when Miller stopped a shoot with his wrist, the pillows were taxed to capacity Bun van banged a grounder toward first and Duggan, after getting the ball, threw wide to Romer at first, the run uer being safe while Hit scored The second run was registered on a fly to Burke by Sweeney that brought Ladd over the last lap. Kocher's roller to the slab put Miller on third and Bun van at second, where they were stranded as the final out of the day was grabbed by Duggan when he picked up Scanlon's throw of Kane's grounder-
 Eight hits and six bases on balls trio of tallies for the Pulpites, but Kane was generally a. power in the pinch places, as may be judged when 1t is known that an even dozen, of the locals were left on the paths, twice the side being retired with all corners car rying runners.
 It was the top trio of homesters that handed Kane his bumps. McCabe get ting to him for three singles, while Dolan and Mccormack took town pair each, and the eighth safety went to Romer Outside of the Orators rally, the most exciting incident was banishment of Ramon in the sixth for jawing too much at Umpire Lincoln when called out on strikes. BannOn hated to leave, but the ump was ob- durate, so George vanished
 Holyolxe picked up it's chalk marks one at a time, in the first. third and fifth. Dolan started the initial tally on it's way with a single and took sec ond on MeCormackS hit to midheld. McCabe sacrificed and while Miller was putting Burke out at Bunyan' s berth, Dolan scored. The second was started on McCabe's scratch hit A passed ball gave him second and he scored when Hit tossed the ball over Bunyan's head on Duggan's tap. Me Cormaek singled for the third count and went to second on McCabe's hit Burke sacrificed and after Duggan was passed Baker famed. Scanlon worked Kane for four bad ones, fore ing in Mccormack. With three men still on Beaumont flied out. Two pass es and a batter hit filled 'em up again in the seventh, but Kane stopped any scoring. The score:
