League Standing
By Philips

The bug from Blngvllle VINO Sdlo
the Real Estates and Athletics were
going to be too light for the Twilight
League must have missed his guess.
Huh? For the classiest of classy play
ing they backed all the others off the
board yesterday and captured the
good will of a large and enthusiastic
audience. Five innings in thirty-eight
minutes, with the swiftest kind of
fielding and few boobies, coupled with
splendid pitching about tells the tale
of how the realty boys still retain
their high seat in the tenth story,
while the Athletics are kept down In
the cellar.
But for two hits followed by two
errors by the Athletics in the first in
ming, allowing three land dealers to
cross the plate, 1t was simply case
Of three up, three down, until the last
of the fifth, when the Athletics at
tempted to rally and secured one run.
How It Happened.
Ed Swaine, the first man up, singled
to left, took second on L. Borras's
single to right, and then both were
advanced on an attempted double steal
when @. Borras muffed throw to sec
ond. NJ. Swaine sacrificed, scoring e.
Swaine and advancing L. Borras to
third, who scored a moment later on
White wild heave to catch NJ. Swaine
at first, Swaine going to third and
scoring on Ortell's sacrifice to first.
The Athletics then settled down and
not a man on either team reached sec.
ond until the last of the fifth, owing to
the splendid pitching and the perfect
fielding of both teams. Nearly every
infielder on both teams did his part
and time and again cheers from the
crowd rewarded their efforts. The
pegging of both catchers to bases was
the best yet seen and but few stolen
bases were recorded.
The Athletics, urged by the crowd,
made a desperate effort to tie the
score in the last of the fifth. White,
the second man up, who reached first
and went to third on a wild heave by
e. Swaine, scored on Shuttleworth's g
clean two-bagger to left. 1t looked az
If the balloon was about to take a
fight and to add to the excitement l..
Borras, who had been playing a beau
tiful game behind the bat for the Real
Estates, was hit by "a foul tip and
forced to leave the game. Olsen took
his place, however, Shuttleworth was
caught stealing third, and Gilmore
went down, pitcher to first. Thus died
the last fieeting hope of the Athletics
and the Real Estates stand the victors
of hard-fought game.
Swaine struck out three men and
yielded two bases on balls, and one
hit, while Shuttleworth yielded two
hits, struck one batter, and famed
five. The complete score will be pub
lished in the afternoon paper.
Todays Game.
This afternoon the Oakfields and
Beavers will furnish the fun, and a
good game is promised. Both teams
have been playing good ball and will
put forth their strongest line-ups to
win. The playing Of the farmer
boys" has ELECTED many favorable
comments and as they will have a

Allsip, catcher; Ciulla, pitcher; Pate,
short stop; e. Watson, first base; r.

The injury to L. Borras was much
regretted and it is hoped he will be
none the worse in few days.
The crowds are rapidly beginning to
take sides with their favorite team,
and roofing each afternoon is begin
ming to add much to the work of the
players and the fun in general
Isn't il strange that men who know
better will parade across the out-feld,
interfering with the players during the
game when muffed fly might change
the result of the game? And some of
these men kick like steers when their
games are interfered with in the same
way.
And isn't it also strange that these
same men will crowd out ON the field
and further interfere when a good seat
can be secured for two cents a game
by purchasing a season ticket. Where
is your sporting blood, gentlemen
You get 1t all almost for nothing; now
don't be a hog
