Orators Playing Snappy Game Witt Their Chief Behind the Plate Tool Game from League Leaders = Lost Second Session.

The league leaders and the Caboose Riders broke even up Holyoke way, Saturday, the locals with the veteran Jim O'Rourke behind the bat in the first game winning out 6-4. The sec ond went to the leaders, S-2. Swan son, the Papermakers' pitcher, blew up toward the end of the first game al- lowing four runs in the seventh ses- sion and two in the eighth. enough to win the game. Kane who pitched for the Orators. did we'll.
 In the second game, which was call ed at the end of the seventh because of darkness, Eiley Riley started to pitch for Bridgeport, lasting four in- nings. when Gibbs was sent in for re- lief duty. Artie Romer had his old teammates lashed to the mast through out the session. The Springfield Un- ion says of the playing of Manager Jim:
 If there was no other feature to the cle Jeems O'Rourke himself behind the bat in the getaway game, the several thousand fans and fanees would have felt that they had more than received the value of their box office donations. 1t is not every day that one can see a man who has observed his 57th birth day, standing back of the plate. pick ing off shoots ard bends like a colt, eating up fouls with g. relish. throwing csIt would-be base pilferers with the greatest ease, and on top of all that driving out the hit that practically won the game for his team. Yet all these things were performed by the grand old man from Oratorville. who never gave a more polished exhibition with the .windpad and mask since he first crawled into a uniform back in '6S.
 Though frequently on the field in | mi firSf appearance in a game this season, and the old-timer was given a rousing welcome when he ambled out on the receiving end of the battery. Those ancient pedals appeared as frisky as ever, that throwing whip seemed to possess the same power that it did back in days that he was a Giant, and there wasn't player in his outfit, not excluding the kittenish Hi Ladd, who displayed more ginger than old Jim Just to let the public know that he
 was not yet ready to be relegated te the has-been division, he raced back to the grandstand in the third and picked off a foul fly in smooth style. Then in the next hiring Duggan thought he would show up the old fellows arm but the ball was waiting for him al attempted steal Kid Mccormick prob ably figured that this toss was an ac- cident, but he changed his mind aftel Uncle Jeems had treated him to the same dose as Duggan. when he tried to negotiate a larceny of the midway bag in the sixth. Coming up to bat in the seventh. with the score tied and men on second and third, the Nutmee sage swiped out a pretty single, SCOT ing two runs and putting his team ahead, where it stayed. After turning that trick, Uncle Jeems decided that he had contributed his share to the days sport, and gave way to Kocher while he turned to the more cheerfu | task of counting up his end of the gate"
