Tomorrow-silyer Spring vs. White Havei,
at Sixteenth and Columbia road.
Southland drew nearer the pennant
yesterday by defeating White Haven in
loosely played game. White Haven
had far from its full strength upon the
field.
White Haven started off like a house
afire. banging Big Bull Ebert for
three hits. and four runs in the first
inning. After that the countrymen did
not have a look-in with Bull" not a
hit or run being made and only one
man receiving first base.
Ebert drove another ball over the
fence yesterday, the sphere disappear
ing from sight near the telegraph pole.
An idea of the length of the drive may
be seen from the fact that only two
balls have gone over the fence this
year. and Ebert has the distinction of
hitting both.
Jack Spaulding played a star game
yesterday, his batting and base running
being especially notable At the bat,
the fast Southland shortstop hit safely
four times out of trips to the plate, all
of the hits being hard drives, two OF
them doubles. on the bases, Jack stole
the only three bases pilfered during
the game His most sensational play
was his steal of home in the fifth in
ming.
Umpire O'Toole made his debut yester-
day, working in the place of Sheckells.
The husky arbiter made a decided hit
with his work. his covering OF the
plays being the especial thing to please
the players. O'Toole also made a de-
cided hit with both twirlers, as he gave
them the corners of the plate.

of the large score.

In spite of the severe drubbing given
him yesterday, Rice, in the opinion Of
many of the fans, is one of the best
fingers in the league. He has had the
misfortune Of twirling for weak field
ing team in this league, which makes
his work look bad.
This same Rice, after pitching nine
innings in this league, went to the eX-
