The Five Scraps With Jackson.
sEID WADDEL.

Did Jackson let slip the first scrap at
Sunny Dell intentionally? Such were
/ the figures scattered abroad at the time,
but you can put it down in your note
book that the fans still had another
consider coming, as the visiting crew
couldn't possibly head the locals off in
that fatal ninth. Capt'n PAGES men
entered the pen with strong lineup
and led by the lad who pitches with a
horseshoe in his garments opened up in
brilliant style to say the least. 1t was
Connors' day off and he had to depend
largely on the semicircular article in
his pocket The chap concealed his
1 feelings, however, behind batch of
htwirling labor that wore the full peachy
fcomplexion and brought his followers
out ahead when the last ditch had been
reached and escape seemed impossible,
The thrilling melee was copped by
Fscratch, all the thick and tough labor
being smeared on in the final. The
pulling g-out-of-the-hole act was worked
twice by Connors, and in both instances
it seemed secure bet that the clan
was hopelessly lost. The first tight
clamp against the home crew came in
the second when the visitors filled the
bases with none lost. Although Mike
was perfectly aware of the fact that he
was up against it good and hard, he re-
fused to wilter and what followed was
along the stellar line :, The next two
were killed and the SIDE retired itself by
a pop-up. In connection with this the
total number of scalps Conuors captur-
ed were five with almost like number
OF assists to accompany. Jackson put
upa strong battle behind squaw Ander-
son and manipulated the willow in fine
style They made their retreat;satisfied
with four hits.
Callahan was, with the tearn in the |
first round with Jackson and will re-
long jaunt with the Redskins. The |
kids opening up in riflepit was leahy /
and cumbersome, but it is extremely |!
evident that he will soon set matters |
Alright His hitting and haserunning
was good. Like honor was claimed by
Elliott who got straight line drive
through second to high center out OF
two times up. Halves didn It get strict
ly right with his swatting Hntil the
ninth when the clan crayed it most and
then he elected the bingle that won the
match. The whole affair, after all has
been said, was full of thrills as a pud-
ding is full of plums and the fnish-up
was hair-raising-
Here is the whole line of dope as it
reeled off in that fatal ninth:
The score stood 8 to 5 with all the
favors for the visitors, and the locals
crave three formidable runs to carry off
the game. Craig was the first man up !
and drove one straight off the bat to
ist. With one gone Wright made
second and Briggs took the beam. BY !
reaching first he advanced Wright to
5hird Second was stolen and Pigue
brought in the gunner on third and put :
Briggs in his place by slamming out a
.lean two-bagger. Connors got pass s
md Hawes hit with the bags full, bring 4
ng in two runners as Pigue had brave f
V expired in an attempt to steal home. h
