In nine, Innings of classy baseball on
 the Hospital grounds Wednesday af
 ternoon Manager Stones Independents
 made good on the job he had set them
 to do and took the scalp of the Hos
 pftal team, to 1, but it was no cinch
 at that The teams were closely match ed and the Hospitals came into the
 eighth and ninth with a couple of final
 rallies that all but snatched the game
 away from the Independents.
 Two lost chances in the course of
 the game were largely responsible for
 the adverse decision coming to the
 Hospital, both on careless base run ming as Captain Wicks cut third in
 the second and was called out after he
 had crossed the plate, and then in the
 ninth Bill Austin stayed froze to first
 when F'ud Sullivan was stealing third. Zemke followed with a single which
 scored Fud and would have sent Bill
 in with another run if he had made the
 double steal with Fud.
 But it was a cleverly played game
 by both teams. nevertheless, and the
 fans present, who more than filled the
 grandstand, are calling for another be- tween the same teams. It is expected that a return game will be arranged for next week and that it will be played at Sachem park.
 A total of 21 hits, six of them double and one a triple, furnished plenty of stickwork for the fans to enthuse over and several star fielding stunts were pulled off in major league style. Among the Independents the Jewett City trio, Fred and Arthur L'Heureux and Pop Williams, were practically the whole sticking department of the team, Ar thur and Pop hammering the ball for three hits apiece and Fred for two in which was included a slashing triple to left field Of the Hospital lineup Fud Sullivan and Pitcher Zemke divided honors. each getting timely double and a triple In the field Jack Casey at third turned off a one-hand, pickup that was covered with irridescence, Leopold pulled down a liner with one hand that started a double play and Steve Ricketts, in center made three successful sprints after short flies that staved off the< dangerous Hospital team. The fielding chances given the Hospital team were all of the ordinary kind and were taken care of in their
 usual finished style.
 The pitching duel between Gleason and Zemke was pretty one, but the winners tallied when they were able to bunch three hits on the Hospital pitcher twice during the game. Zemke' s calibre was shown in the seventh, when Fred L'Heureux led off with a triple but was left stranded on third, as the next three batters could not push the ball out of the infield, Zemke flaming one of them and retiring the other two on fielding chances to himself. Glea-
 sons work improved as the game pro-
 gressed and he was called on for all his skill and headwork in the eighth
 and ninth, when the Hospital support
 CTS went after his goat, but Bill emerged safe and held his game to the end
 To start the clash Arthur LHeureux singled over second, stole the midway bag drawing a throw on which he | made third, and scored when Zemke 1 shot over low one that burrowed into | the plate and got away from Foley | Two strikeouts and chance to Fud | Sullivan ended the inning.
 The Hospitals promptly tied it up after two were out in their half. Fud hammered double to left and scored on Bill Austin's single over second
