Rv some unknown means the Cleveland
goat. which was supposed to have been
safely locked in Long Tom Hughes
apartment. made it's escape late yester-
day afternoon, and the result was ap-
parent in the eleventh inning of the ses-
sion at National Park. when Larry's
Larrupers landed on Johnsons s curves and
pounded in three runs. taking the final
game of the present series from the Can
tillionites by the score of to 3.
Until the fatal moment when the goat
let bleatingly gamboed on the green the
Ala spectators We're having the time of
their lives. because Marse Joe'S boys
were dallying rather freely with Splitter
Sittons shoots, and it seemed at least
probable that victory would ultimately
rest with the home team. But the
eleventh round was punctuated with quite
little delirious base ball. including an
error by Johnson on Balls attempt at
sacrifice, base on balls Intentionally
given TO Hinchman, and the failure of a
possible double play.
Bradley Starts the Trouble.
Bradley opened the visitors half Of the
eleventh with a screeching double into
center garden, and he was safe at third
when Johnson juggled Balls would-be
sacrifice bunt. Acting under orders, John
SON tried to pass the mighty Napoleon,
but the latter reached out for one of
the wide ones and was retired on an
easy roller to Jiggs, making the first
out. Ball went to second on the play,
and when Hinchman was passed the
sacks were full.

Stovall life, and Umpire Connolly called
the runner safe at first. In the mix-up
Ball tailed. and then Bemis put the
game on ice by lacing a double into
Mlan's territory, Hinchman and Stovall
counting.

the eleventh was to pop easy flies to
Goode. Lajoie and Bemis. respectively,
and the game was ended.

Several varieties of base ball were in

Timely Hit Needed.
In only two innings-the seventh and
