 In the opening round the top of the New York batting list jumped on the Chippewa in manner that made the timid ones fear that all was lost. The great Indian settled down, how ever, after New York had scored two runs on single by DeVore, triple by Doyle, and sacrifice fly by snoasrasat and had New York at his mercy nearly all the way.
