stances, and they believed his decIs
verdict 10 hand out, but to the writer
il looked as if the indicator man was
in the right.
This was one of the chief incidents in
a game which was full Of incidents 1t
was q battle for the rubber The Sea Is
evened things up in the morning by
whitewashing the upriver tossers and
the afternoon performance was for the
honors. It was a battle from the out
set, and though il looked at one stage
I'm the early part of the contest as if
the Senator's We're going to walk away
with the laurels, the Seals came on like
bulldogs and evened matters before the
eighth frame was reached.
HARD DAY FOR PITCHERS
It was z hard day for the mound
men, as several of them suffered the
humiliation Of getting the hook. East
ley was the first TO be reached for. He
Was canned after the third frame.
Baum. who was naughty and smiling
at has fellow twirlers' misfortune,
found the hook around his neck in the
middle Of the fifth frame, when the
Seals were showing him up. Frank
Miller, who relieved Eastley, went out
because il was figured that Shaw was
q better dopester in pinch, and the
latter made good when he was called
upon 20 do the big thing Stewart went
in during the sixth and finished the
session. Fitzgerald was Baum's success
-sor and also finished.
Both Long and Graham used all their
4 ammunition No tricks were over
looked. a both teams wanted the game.
The early part of the ARRAY saw the
~ Senators cutting a wide swath. The
outlook had a Senatorial aspect. as the
capital city tossers cut in with six
healthy bingles in frame four, which
netted a quartet Of runs. The hitting
bee which Grahsm's men pulled off
was more than their most ardent ad-
mirers ever expected of them. 1t was
harsh treatment to a man of Eastley s
size, but the Senators had no respect
FOR him.
FOUNDED OUT OF THE LOT
The run making ceased for time
after the seventh frame, when Jimmy
Lewis pounded one of Fitzgerald's Of
ferings out of the lot Now Jimmy is
looked upon as a mighty good swatter,
who can get his bingles more regularly
than the next fellow, and at laying
tlem down and beating them 10 first
he is a bear, but who ever heard of
him pounding the ball out of the lot?
Well, this Is just what he did yester-
day afternoon in the seventh frame,
and made il a deadlock which lasted
until the thirteenth frame, until silent,
smiling Briggs kicked through with a
hit which brought Danzig home from
second.
There was an awful roar when the
veteran called Danzig safe. There
were msny who thought the indicator
man should be roped, while others
thought he should be tarred at least. 1t
meant that the Seals were beaten un-
less they kicked through with a run in
their half of the inning. They failed TO
do it. and Vans decision meant the loss
Of the game for the Seals.
Moments OF nervous tension passed
one after another throughout the game.
Even after the score was tied in the
seventh frame the succeeding innings
saw opportunity after opportunity for
both sides TO score. A bingle at the
opportune moment would have sent
[ other team down to defeat Effective
\ wirllng. coupled with sensational
fielding kept the run columns bare.
The game had progressed until the
fourth frame. when Eastley ran into
soually weather. A storm of hits
greeted him, which resulted in his re-
tirement from the hill Shinn banged
. one safely into center field and Burns
followed with a safe crack into the
left garden. Perry failed to help, as
he grounded to Eastley, who pegged
Shinn out at third. Danzig, who was
sne Of the big swat moguls OF the aft
= ernoon. filled the bags by banging one
which dropped safely into right. The
bags were filled and the task was in
the hands of Boardman- Boardman
pasted one which went into center.
Lewis should have glued his mitts to
the hoater but he came in on 1t, and
found when IT was too late that the
. ball was raped harder than he had
figured. II went for double and the
bases were cleared. Briggs hit TO CEN
ter. scoring Boardman.
HEARTS DISCOURAGED
The hearts Of the local rooters were
in their laps. The prospects of victory
were DINNER than a ton of coal on q
dark night. However. the locals never
bounded il for a moment, but battled
on gallantly.
Their inning came in the fifth frame,
when Bodie started the trouble with
single to left. Lewis followed with
single TO center. Berry beat out an in
field hit and Baum was in hole. Bodie
scored on Perry's error in dropping a
fly Shaw went in to swat for Miller,
and he came through with a single,
scoring Berry and Lewis Baum was
officed to the bench at this juncture.
The seventh frame was ushered in
with Lewis pumping the ball out of
the lot The sphere hit the top of the
fence, but took the outward course.
Fitzgerald, who was doing the heav-
ing at this stage, was flinging them
