stop himself.
1t was too late in the day to re-
trieve, however, and, though the local
men scored one in the ninth and
Hampton was i'll great shape, there
was nothing to it but another sweep
ing victory.
Hampton Fans Them.
Hampton started the eighth by fan
ming both Bliss and Flaherty and Civ
ing Curtis an easy one that resulted
in short grounder that put him out
at first. Judging by the excellent form
Hampton showed, Castle would have
been more than justified in changing
places with him much earlier in the
game
The run in the ninth was a smart
piece of business. Desha walked, hit
by the ball, with two men down. Then
En- Sue grounded to Flaherty and the
latter threw carelessly to Danzig, who
stopped to rub his leg where the ball
hit him. Meanwhile En- Sue reached
third and Desha ran in. If this had
only happened with no men down ear
lier in the game, there is no knowing
what kind of balloon might not have
gone up.
Some Lessons.
The three games so far have taught
several lessons. One is that, under
proper conditions, a bunch of sturdy
amateurs whose hearts are in the game
and who are practising for all they are
worth, can make it hard for, if not de-
feat, bunch of professionals who are
playing merely for their chiddlings
That those amateurs need a terrible
amount Of confidence in themselves and
keen support from their friends to win
out. Lacking either one it is all off
in the pinch. One man sulking upsets
whole team in a way to make the
average leaven ashamed of itself, and
get out of the metaphor business.
People want to see fast baseball and
close game. The fans here are pecu-
liar enough in that they have practi-
eally no loyalty. They don't seem to
care~a tinker's invective what happens
to the local boys so long as they see
fast ball. Therefore we may expect to
see the place simply crammed on Sat
urday when the boys have a borrowed
battery.
