GUESS CHARLEY RANDALL
FEELS MISERABLE TO-DAY

Charles Randall and his husky bunch
OF ball players captured two games.

gin and easily outbatting and outplay-
In gtheir opponents in both games.
The game with the Miller Eagles on
Sunday, at West Hammond, was easy
for RandalPs Old Styles. They proved
too much for their opponents, and the
game ended with the count to in
favor of the West Hammond team.
Schroeder made his third home run
of the season. the best hit OF the day.
Schroeder has been clouting the ball
at random this season. and not being
satisfied with the two home runs al
ready marked up to his credit previous
to Sundays game, made another clean
drive. which was one of the best drives
that has been made on the Old Styles
grounds this season. This makes a
total of three home runs for the slug
ger. and he thinks he Is good for one
more before the close of the season.
BIIasmer Pitched Fine Game.
II. Blissmer, who is pitching fine ball
at present, was there again yesterday
and as usual pitched an excellent game
Blissmer allowed six hits. but kept
them scattered so that they did nc
harm. He should not have been scored
ont had 1t not been for couple Of err
rors mixed with some bad throws in
the fourth, which Melted the Miller
Eagles their only three runs. Zeliboe
pitcher for the Eagles. handed out
twelve hits. Blissmer struck out six
of the Eagles, while Zeliboe whitfield
three.
Mr.. Randall, after winning Sundays

up to the fourth inning. the count then
standing 0 to 0. But in the fourth in
ming the Old Styles gathered all the
strength and with encouraging words
from the manager, batted all around
every man bringing in a score. How
it was done would be hard to explain,
but with every man hitting the ball
at an awful clip they managed to push
nine runs across home plate When
every one had scored and they had
started at the top of the list again
the three first men to bat went down
in one, two. three order.
The Riverdale team came back in
their half of the fourth and scored one
run. But 1t was no use, for the Old
Styles had gained such a lead that it
was hardly possible for the Riverdale
team to force into the lead
The Old Styles scored one more in
the fifth and counted two more in the
NINTH while the Riverdale team added
one more tally to their count in the
eighth. The Old Styles batted three OF

proposed was fair alike to the lumber
