The victory of the Highlanders over
the Swimmers, who were leading the
race for the pennant, at Highland Park
Monday afternoon caused more real joy
in some circles than-well, the an
nouncement that Peary had found the
Pole, following so close upon the same
news from DR.. Cook. The "Little Man"
and his clan have the bulge on the other
fellows in the fact that they have the
pole and expect to fly the bunting from
it. The defeat was surprise to Retail
iata s men,
Labor Day drew a big crowd to the
Park, many accompanying the Swim
mers. Groundkeeper Groom had the
diamond and outfield we'll groomed-but
this isn't intended for a joke, it was a
fact.
"Adonis' Hart was slated for the job
of subduing the leaders, and how well
he performed his contract subsequent
events will show. The ruddy, pleas
ant-faced young David was stacked
against veteran Disney. To say that
there was wide divergence in their
work would be confining ones self
strictly to the truth. Hart was a trihe
erratic in the first inning, when the
Web-feet crashed into him for three
hearty swipes, couple of stolen bases
and an error, netting them four tallies.
Harry Logan had the audacity to steal
home from third sofa while the ball was
passing from GOSH to ED" That
was some adamantine cheek, if any,
body should ask you. 1t looked as if
the Swimmers had the killed laddies
hooked for fair, but they were never
given another opportunity for such ex-
ploitations To resume:
The Highlanders were little down in
the lip over the turn of affairs in the
first inning and were droning a melan-
choly tune on the bench Hart walked
in the fourth, but was forced at second
on Dutch Ruhl's smash to Wilhelm;
J. Grason hit nicely to right field, ad-
vancing Ruhl to third; second perch
was negotiated by Jack by a great
dipping slide. Big things were ex-
pected of Benny" he didn't do a
thing but fog the pea to right for a
double, Ruhl and J.. Grason scoring to
the strains of The Campbells are Com
ing" Bruff went out in an attempt to
annex second, and Spencer was easy for
Cunningham and Hudgins.
Things began to assume more rosy
aspect when operations began in the
the fifth. Wilhelm juggled Hart's siz-
zler, giving the batter life on first;
Disney put three out of reach of Reely;
Umps Kapp called strike on Grason,
but the next one Disney handed up
"Jack" pasted on the seam and Jared
its innards. The hit was a line drive
to left center, the ball making an ex-
asperating leap through the wire, the
batter scoring homer. Bruff bumped
one in front OF the dish, which Petrick
gobbled and hurled to Hudgins; Spencer
cracked out two-bagger to left, but it
was a wasted effort, as Ruhl flied tn
Logan.
Disney started off the sixth by pass
ing Parks; Phipps unloaded double
into left, Parks scoring on wild pitch.
Cunningham deposed Disney and sent
Gilley to the rostrum, which necessitated
a general switching about of the guar
dams of the outer prairie. The next
three men received their quietus at the
hands of the infield.
Logan's error, Spencer's single and
Ruhl's out, Logan to Hudgins, gave the
locals an additional tally in the seventh.
With two gone in the eighth Rely was
given transportation and assisted to
third station on Grason's single over
short, and scored on Bruff's rap over
third.
Parks shared honors with Hart by
nabbing Petrick's fly after long run
and doubling Jarosik at first. The score:
