handily by the score of TO l. WIN
Blankenship on the bench with broken
finger and Street at home with sore
foot, the veteran Kahoe tried to hang on,

with single and double, the runs came
over the plate in a procession.

locals and. although somewhat wild, the
Tigers would have had the battle of their
lives to win but for the unfortunate
mishap to his catcher. But five safe hits
were made off Walter, two by Pitcher
Mulin for doubles. which were of the

Tigers. on the other hand was as steady
as a clock, not giving out pass, and
but for a wild heave by Deiehanty IT is
doubtful IL the locals would have scored
a run, and the same situation would have
presented itself to the Tigers with per-
feet support for Johnson.
A Good Turnout.
The victory of Wednesday and the fact
that Delehanty was to play second base
for the visitors and Schaeffer for the
locals served to draw out a good crowd
and the contest was good to look at but
for the lamentable exhibition in the fifth
round. Del put up a nice game. not
withstanding his wild throw, getting a
single out or three times up ana steanns
three bases. Schaeffer had very little to
do and failed to hit Mullin. Killifer,
the other Tiger who figured in the trade.

when he batted for Conroy, but his best
effort was a roller to Mullin and he was
an easy out at first.
Neither side scored in the first inning,
but the locals broke the ice in the sec
ond scoring one run (which proved to be
their sole tally in the battle. Lelivelt led
of with a slow roller to Deehanty and
had 1t beat out, but Del cut loose with
mans head and landed in the grand
stand. Under the rule but one base can
be taken on these wild heaveS and
Lei pulled up at second. Conroy laid
down neat sacrifice and Lelivelt moved
on to third. Milan then lined clean sin
gle into left and Lelivelt crossed the plate
TO the accompaniment of the glad
shouts of the crowd.
The Tigers got busy in the third and
tied I'D the score. Moriarity was passed
and Quickly stole. A passed bali then
sent him to third. Schmidt died on a
bounder to Mcbride, Moriarity being held
on third while the batter was being
thrown out at first. Mullfn then picked
out one of Johnson's drops at his shoe
tops and sent II curving into right field
for two bases, Moriarity walking home.
Then Came the Deluge.

starter and he quickly stole second.

to steal second and on kahoe's wild
throw continued on to third. while Dele
hanty crossed the plate. Schmidt hit to
Mcbride, and once more George held the
runner on third while tossing out the
batter at first. Mullin followed with a
little pop fly back of first that hit just
inside the foul line and was good for
two bases, Moriarity crossing the plate.
A wild pitch followed and Mullin moved
up to third. Bush was passed and stole
second. Kahoe then missed the third
strike on Jones. Mullin scoring and Bush
taking third. Jones tried for a steal and
plate. That was enough for Mike and
Blankenship came into the game.
Jones kept up the pilfering habit and
beat Blanks throw to Conroy, continuing
on home when Cobb flied out to Lelivelt.
Crawford shut down further proceedings
by popping to Schaeffer.
Johnson regained confidence with Blank

but two scattered hits in the four final
innings and nothing like a run. Mulin
also went along at express train speed,
turning back the local batters in almost
regular order, a single by Browne in
the sixth. a double by Milan In the
seventh and another single by Unglaub

break the monotony.
