Gray Gets Bumped.
Gray was the choice Of Manager Cor

was easy for the Clerks, they getting
four runs OF him in three innings on
three hits. two sacrifice bingles. and

in previous games. only one error being
made by the winners. while the losers
outdid each other. muffing hard and easy
/ chances alike.
The game was fun OF brilliant plays.

| timely moment
Hays ran back Of first and nabbed

/ this stunt called forth much applause
from the spectators.
Stands Are Full.
And the crowd well, I guess every fan
in town was there, and my. but how
the people did root for the Aggiesi The
lowest estimate places the attendance
at 400 people. the best crowd at the
games this season. and the largest since
1907
In the last inning. when Doyle stole

70 the bag and hit Jimmy Kerr square
in the back of the head. laying him out
Of the game for few minutes. But after
little rest and good rub on the
