COMMENTS ON THE GAME.

The battle opened most auspiciously
for the locals. and killifer gave a classy
exhibition of fielding right off the reel.
Big Heltmuller slugged one OF Gray's
curves TO right center, and Killifer was
over to the left. The ball was ticketed
for the clubhouse. but the fleet center
fielder kept on running and finally pulled
in the sphere while fully extended. 1t

BOY SHOOTS FRIEND.
Both Hunting for Ground Hogs and
One Makes Mistake.

SELINS GROVE. Pa, Setember 4
That the shooting dead of nineteen-year-
old Ira Benner of West Perry township
Tuesday was an accident was the conclu-
sion of the coroner's jury.
This verdict was based upon the con-
fession of sixteen-year- Wilson Fisher,
a friend and neighbor of the dead boy,
who said he was out hunting ground
hogs in the same thicket in which Ben
ner was also hunting, ard that when he
saw the latter's face through the bushes
he thought it was a grounding and fired.

son in consequence of the deed. No ar

down to one solitary hit-made by the
second man to face him I'm the first in

Brentwood's victory was a deserving
and a decisive one. Manager Cornell had

put Brentwood out of the race, and he is
