the contest by the outrageous score
of IS to 2. The credit for the i'm
mense number of runs does not belong
to the visitors by any means, as er
ratio work by the Islanders was re-
sponsible for most of them. Tighe's
men showed a complete reversal oil
the form which characterized their

were clearly off color except in one or
two instances when they showed that
they really have the goods in them
and that it was merely waiting for
