many innings, the neldIng was up TO
such snuff thar It seemed as though
there never would be any scoring.
Up till the end Of the ninth inning
the Hams had the game slowed away
in their pockets but great work by
Wilmington and Butler and a remark
able home run by Bill Hampton, turn
ed the tide OF victory the other way
and two runs Turned the score from 5
TO 4 IN favor Of the Hams to a victory
for the Puns by TO 5.
That surely was a zingdinger that
BIZ let 60. When the ball hit that
bat it started 10 plow a streak in the
festive ozone and never stopped its
roadmaking until II was almost to the
score board. Willie Hoogs, running
for Butler, was on second and romp-
ed easily while Bin Just had comfort
able time in which 10 toddle all the way
ronnd the diamond and score the win
ming run.
An Unpleasant Incident.
A remarkable and somewhat unpleas-
ant incident IL the eighth Of the first
game turned what looked like more
than nine-inning game into sad route
of the Artillery forces. After tying
the score and making it four all, the
Tenians allowed the Aamateurs TO fill
the bases with none down.
Stallard walked a man and gave
way a run and then catcher Gilcrist
missed bali. Naturally everybody be-
gan to romp and continued to do so
until all three men had scored. It
could not very well be seen whether
q 4
rule. could not see the ball or was
merely sulky and giving a fine exhi-
/ bition of being peeved. Whatever the
cause Of his action, il let in three runs
and ratified his team TO the extent of
one more so that, by the time the in
ming was over the Amateurs had scored
five runs.
A Brilliant Catch.
One Of the most brilliant plays of
| the afternoon and there were several
| delightful double plays and other keen
stunts, was great running catch by
Willie Hogs. Kaai popped foul over
| by the third base bleaehers and Hoogs
caught it running sideways, recovering
| himself with remarkable agility and
| freezing on to the ball.
| Bill Hampton also did a great stunt
by running to the third base line, re-
trieving near foul bunt and topping
| over lust in time to tab runner from
| third before he could reach the plate.
The First Game.
| For the first three innings it looked
| like cinch for the National Guards
/ In the first inning Rice bingled, was
| advanced by Henry Chillingworth Is
sacrifice and scored on Days error
In the second inning Townsend let out
beautiful triple and Markham bin
i gled him home. Then Markham ad
vanced twice on walk and a steal
and reached the plate on an efectual
skv sacrifice by Henry. In the third
Sumner singled and went to third OF
Shreve' Is error, finally stealing home.
Meanwhile the Fenians had not ever
reached third and it looked bad fol-
them with the score 4 to at tho
end of the third. But they came back
strong in the fourth by making runs
Long. the champion swatter of the
team. hit to right field and Rice muffeC
it. This took Long to second.
Shreve was safe and Long went Il
third on Lota IS tumble, then DAILY
sacrificed Long home. An error by
Sumner sent Shreve to third and LEFT
Collier safe at first. The throw t
third was a bad one and it went III
against the bleachers. Shreve rompet
and Collier went to third on the play
Shreve was touched out but was call
ed safe on account of a prearranget
ground rule.
Collier died at the plate but Gilcris
was safe, he went to second on a bali
and to third on wild pitch, finally
scoring on tumble by Butler.
That made three runs and the Fen
ians tied the score in the seventh in
ming. Meanwhile they had been get
ting the Amateurs cut one, two and
three in nearly every inning, playing
very snappy ball In the seventh Stal
land was safe on Lota s error anC
went to third on Brannan s double
Then Long swatted one TO Henry Chill
lingworth at short who waited to fine
out what TO do too long and allowed
Stalland TO romp.
The less said about that eighth in
| ming the better Kaia, Sumner an(
Bob Chillingorth were on bases. Davi:
walked and that sent Kaia home. Thel
Gilerist passed a ball and stood Their,
while the whole bunch romped Town
send went 70 second on pitchers errol
and romped on Lota g single Thi
made 5 runs and the score stood 9 t.
when the next inning had passed
| without any scoring.
a Meaicated Account.
Sergeant Barry turns in the follow
ing medieated account of the game
The pil!pounders had a good bunch t.
! play against but we thought they need
ed waking up so slipped them Is graiI
stryehnine in the first inning. In tn,
