 PROVED COSTLY
Likewise Artie Romer Was Way Off His
 Feed.
Springfield Found no Difficulty in Scoot.
 ing off With an Easy Win.

Artie Romer again essayed to pitch for the Orators yesterday at Newfield Park and again exhibited to the small crowd present that his pitching is not up to the standard he set last season, Springfield walloping him hard, and winning the game, 9-3 Arthur lasted till the eighth. when Burns sent him to the stables with welt on the thigh. Gibbs. who had no previous warming up was sent in to hold the Ponies. who collided with his slants for four hits. Young "Jum" Warmer was on the rubber for the Ponies, perform ing in good style. Jun looks like kid. there not being even a semblance of bit of dust on his upper lip. Col nns, the snappy second, sacker for the Ponies was the real candy kid with the willow. getting three hits, one good for a homer. another for a three sacker, and the last a terrific slash at Marty Phelan. Collins first hit was welt way into left center. which made Hi Ladd travel, Hilt received the sphere from Ladd and reIaying it home caught Collins at the plate trying to stretch the hit for the four stations. Collins next attempt was still better, as the ball hit the fence in left center. Bannon chased it but could not get it back to the diamond in time to get Collins who had completed the circuit. Romer famed the second baseman on VI to the satisfaction of the crowd.
 Romer in the first passed Maggert. Connor was safe on Miller's error. Waite sent both men along on sac rifice. Romer filled the stations when he passed Rising. Luby sent two men across the plate with a fine hit to cen ter. Barbour struck out. and then Col 1ins hit into left center for three bags. scoring Rising and Luby. Pop" Ris- ing robbed HiN of a three bagger in the Orators half of the opener on a catch which almost knocked him down.. Bourquin got a two bagger in the third, but was left at that station. The visitors added another in the fourth on Collins homer. Ladd's pass and Bour- QuinS second hit put two on bases in the fourth but there was nothing do- ing.
 Add four more to the Ponies total in the eighth on the following: Hits err TOT of Luby's grounder. Bourquin's err Ter of Barbour's bounder. Collins whangdoodle at Marty Phelan which put three men on the bases. Burns hit Romer on the thigh. sending him out of the game. but not before Romer threw Luby out at the plate There was a good chance for a double on this play but Kocher threw wild to Phelan on first on which Barbour scored and Collins took third. Miller let Kocher's throw to catch Collins off third go through his fingers on which the home run hitter scored. Warner followed with a single into center scoring Burns Maggert hit one at Phelan too hot to handle. Maggert was caught stealing second on a relay from Kocher to Hit. Connor singled into center scoring Warner. but was caught off first on a throw from Gibbs to Phelan.
 Bourquin led off in the seventh with his third hit of the game: Kocher struck out. Steinhauser hit into left for a single and Romer dropped one along the third base line which Bar bour did not touch thinking it would roll foul There were three on with none down but Miller struck out. and Ban9on went out on a fly to Barbour It looked likel a sure shut out for the Orators up to the ninth, when a ser ies of hits. a pass and an error netted three runs. Bouruuin got on the bags for fourth time during the game, when Burns fumb1ed his grounder. Jameson who relieved Rocher went out Collins to Isuby. Steinhauser walked. McKenna was sent in to bat for Gibbs and placed the ball into center for clean single. scoring Bourquin. Miller went out short to first, but Ramon fol- lowed with a single into left on which Steinhouser scored. Hilt knocked a slow one at Burns and beat the throw to first. McKenna scoring. Ladd end- ed the inning pitch to first. The score:
