A very small crowd went out yes
terday afternoon to watch an excellent
local battery get its guns in position
and start to do havoc with the enemy
and fail in its purpose for lack of
support. Castle pitched an excellent
game and gave up to Hampton as
soon as he found fatigue getting the
better of him. Had the field been as
strong as during the last two games,
especially the infeld, there would have
been an excellent chance to win the
game.
F1aherty did not bother the boys
much with his quick delivery. He
has way of sending them over the
plate almost as soon as the ball
touches his hands anu he has some
very deceptive curves as well. With
all that he got whacked about quite
a little.
Desha Bingles. ~
Will Desha started the game in fine
shape by bingling to left field. 1t
not begin to negotiate it. This was
followed by En- Sue walking, hit by
the ball and Hampton beating his own
bunt to first so that there was no
trouble in scoring when Scatena sac
rifced.
When VIII Desha romped over the
plate SO early in the game, the few
rooters present began to feel encour-
aged especially when the visitors went
out almost in one, two, three time in
their half of the inning In the Sec
ond things looked encouraging again
for Soares let out an awful swat along
right field line and reached third on
it. If Bliss had not been quite so
quick diving for the ball under the
benches, Louis would have made a
home run of it, but there was no such
luck and he had to stay on third. Then
George Bruins died and there was no
more chance to score.
Two Costly Errors.
Scatena and En- Sue both made cost
ly errors in the third. Scatena let one
by him that put Flaherty safe and
scored McArdle and Bliss, while En-
Sue beef let Flaherty in, SO these
accounted for three runs.
Nearly Homer.
Hampton made what came very near
to being a home run in the third in
ming. He swatted hard one down
by right field and reached third in
good time. He did not stop but took
chance at the plate. He won out all
right and scored his run, but this was
technically due to Williams error in
dropping the ball when he had the
runner as good as touched out.
In the second part of the third, the
visitors were easily disposed OF and
the locals tied the score in the fourth
through a bad throw of Graney's to
first base. Castle and Lota were both
out when Dick Reuter- came to bat.
Dick walked, then Louie came up and
bingled out by center field. Graney
took his time about the return and
threw wild to first, so that 1t rolled
over by the grandstand and Louie had

Castle Winding Well.
About this time good old Castle was
winding in great shape. He was stu
physically untired and, while he did
not cause many of the visitors to fan
the air. he kept them sending out easy
short flies. In the second half of the
fourth they went out quickly enough
| McArdle fouled to George Bruins, Bliss
beat his bunt and Flaherty sacrificed
but Curtis skied.
But after the fourth, conditions were
| reversed. 1t was the locals who went
| out in short order and the visitors
who began to make runs. They made
one in the fifth and the locals were
lucky they scored no more as they
filed the bases with no men down

In the seventh Castle was vislbly
firing both physically and mentally
from the lack of support he was re
ceiving. The bases were filled anc
