Cardinal A.C.
The second game for the champion
ship of Alexandria between the Alex,
andria Athletic Club and the Cardihal
Athletic Club was played on the north
Alfred street grounds Saturday after,
noon and was witnessed by vast crowd
of baseball enthusiasts, including many
ladies, and, as was predicted III the
account of the first game, when the
Cardinals won, that the A. As would
prove dangerous rivals in the future
games proved true in every respect,
and they defeated that strong team by
the score of IS to 8.
The Alexandrias were the first at
bat and were retired in quick order by
Zachary who proved to be a wizard by
his speedy and puzzling curves that
baffled his opponents. In the Cardi-
nails first turn at bat Hayden scored
and the side was retired. The A. A. s
in the second inning scored their first
run by O'Brien. In the Cardinals hall
Murphy scored. putting his team in the
lead. The third inning the A. A. $
failed to score. but Astrykc for the
Cardinals, with a powerful rap, knock
ed the ball to deep left field, and by
swift running gained home run.
The Cardinals after the fourth m
ming failed to score rs they were unable
to hit Burrell because OF his great speed
and magnificent control OF the ball ,and
thereafter it was they walked rightin,
walked around, then walked right out
again"
Williams commenced the trouble in
the sixth inning by knocking one Of
his pet grasshoppers, one OF the most
difficult hits, to the field and scored
thereby. In the seventh inning Bur
rell, Lynch and Hicks scored, giving
their team lead that was sure to win
the game. Three men were on the
bases when Schrivener came to bat IN
the eighth inning and he hit the ball
square on the nose SO hard that 1t went
flying ut great speed to left field and
caused general home coming" of
the men on bases and he scored a home
run. The ending of the ninth inning
gave them total of Is runs-not SO
bad after all for an afternoons sport.
The pitching by Birrell was simply
great, and he deserves much praise for
his wonderful work in the box, but his
unnecessary hard stab at Zachary in
running him down to first base was
the cause of much criticism by the
spectators. Bird" Trenary during his
time in the box had 4 similar play as
that made by Birrell and demonstrated
that it is as easy to strike a player
lightly as it is to strike him by great
force The public is anxious TO see
the best team win, and it is to be hoped
that in the future both teams will avoid
all unnecessary roughness during the
game.
Space will not permit Of individual
mention, but the earnest work OF all
members of both teams in Saturdays
contest was of high-class order and
no one need be ashamed Of his per-
Torrance.
