because Of his inexperience in crucial
games and belief also that his assort- !

like. Mack will in all probability furnish
local enthusiasts with a view Of Bender
tomorrow. The big chief has a CORY col
lection of cub scalps taken in that three
hit game at Philadelphia, but his knife is
newly sharpened for more. Who will 80

The combat today was a slaughter Big
Id Reulbach lasted Just two innings dur
ling which he allowed one single and two
sdoubes, passed two batsmen and saw
three runs cross the home plate. Mcln--

Slaughter. lie pitched just one-thjrd Of an
Inning, but that was long enough for the
visitors to hammer out two singles, home
run and to send Davis TO first rubbing his
back where one Of McIntyre's inshOots
had hit him. With the assistance Of
boot by Schultz 'our runs were scored un-
der his beneficient reign.
The bright particular stars Of the day
were Coombs Barry and Murphy. Coombs
allowed only six hits, passed four men
and contributed two-bragger and single
which added three runs to the Philadelphia
collection. Barry hit as II there were

hits, each one double, drove in two runs
and himself reached the counting station
thrice. II remained for Murphy. however,

worthy exploit was to smash the ball over
the heads OF the right field overflow crowd
Into the regular bleachers for four sacks
driving in two runners ahead OF him. At
the time he did not know how far the
sphere had travAed and stopped after
covering the two bases allowed under the
ground rules for hits into the overflow.
Umpire O'DRy waved to him TO come in.
