Except for bingle by Wise the
first three men on the batting list did
all the swatting for the Islanders.
Murphy got three, Mclean three and
Berger Two.
Berger accepted II chances yester-
day without an error. He made a two
sacker and three base hit, as well,
which shows that he was playing ball

by the Islanders.
Murphy made his usual sensational
catch yesterday. by going back to the
score board and pulling down a long
drive by Geyer 1t looked good for a
two sacker. at least, but Murphy is the
the kind of fielder who plays for the
batter, and he was right in the path
of the ball when it sailed out. His
catch was made while running towards
the fence and it was daisy.
Mclean batted at the 200 mark yes

on balls out or four attempts. One If

was unfortunate in never having men
on the bases when he came up and SO
he was unable to drive in any runs.
One the one occasion on which man
was ahead of him, Smith passed him
rather than allow him to hit it. Muir
|phy was the second best batter of the
day He made three hits out of five

Wilson pitched great bail, shutting
out the visitors without a hit or a
run from the first inning until the
