 Innings to Tie

With the Senators four runs to the good in the eighth inning, and in ses- sions previous unable to hit Darby O'Brien, the Mechanics with great force and vim came from behind col lecting three counts in the eighth canto, and corralling another in the ninth tieing the score at 6-6. From the ninth until the Fourt eenth when dark ness put a stop to hostilities neither side could shove man across, though the Mechanics had many chances to get that lone run which would spell defeat for the invaders. The turn of the tide changed an afternoon of woe into an evening of pleasure for after the first few innings it looked like a sure defeat for the local talent. Then when Darby O'Brien was showed in to work for the Senators, we were willing to concede Connerys men ev- erything.
 Manager McCann in his efforts to . bring home the contest used up three gunners. Uppy Upham, the leagues leading heaver. started the work. He was slapped for four hits and three runs in the first was lucky to get by the second, while the three first men to face him in the third all connected. Then with two on and none down ''Chief Snyder was called upon to take up the burden. The Rochester re- cruit went into work and did. Those two on never phased him, for he got away with the next three batters, without giving them the chance to bring their waiting team mates across. Snyder was taken out in the eighth inning to allow Joe Whalen to bat for him. Then Freddie Gibbs finish ed the game, working for six innings, during which course he allowed but one hit.
 Lefty Leverentz was lucky to get by till the fourth inning. In that can to he became too lavish with bases on balls and allowing hits, all of which scored two runs. OBrlen who was substituted moved 'em down one, two three order until the eighth when he was found for four hits.
 There was some great slugging dur ing the afternoon. Bobby Stowe be- ing the big man with the willow, crashing out five bingles, one a triple out of seven times up Jim Hart lar ruped four and Metzger and Ladd three apiece.
 The score remained at 6-2 in Hart ford favor until the eighth. Ladd was . due, responding to the request by beating out a hit which glanced off ' O'Brien's glove. Bobby Stowe was on deck with a slashing three baser which went into the left field crowd scoring Ladd. Bobby chalked up when Miller shook out hit between Geode and MetZger. Cy moved around to third when Kocher jolted a single in to center field. Here the Mechanics successfully negotiated the double steal, Miller making home with run No. for the Mechanics.
