One of the largest crowds of the

fans came down on a special excur.
sion train and yelled for their play
ers until Cairo cinched the game in
the sixth inning. Badges of "Oh you
Harrisburg" worn by the Saline
ward the close of the game though
some stuck it out to the bitter end
tfor Harrisburg.}
Dump Halliday and Vidovich for
merly OF Cairo played with the WISH
tors and with Pete Taylor were the
three best players for the visitors.
Halliday made the first run for the
visitors in the first inning and b
number of the spectators, including
several Cairo rooters applauded him.
He beat out bunt to center and
scored on long hit by Harrisburg
batter.
In the sixth the visitors got their
second run when Big Pete Taylo,
with drive like those our Zeke
Taylor knocks, brounght in run for
the visitors, the score at that time
standing 2 to l in favor of Harris
burg.
The visitors other three run were
scored in the eighth when Hallidy
walled and scored on a three base
hit Of Pete Taylor and later Taylor
and Manager Kahl each scored
bringing their total up to FIVE runs.
Cairo scored when Wolfe sim
gled and was advanced by single of
Manager Flood and then scored on
hit OF Hughes.
Calro's big display of fire works
occurred in the sixth, however.
Manager Flood started it off with
single and was followed by Hughes
with another one and pass given to
Zeke Taylor, filling the bases Shinn,
who has been out of the game for
some time was back in yesterday ana
scored Flood and Hughes on his
single. Kinsner was next with sim
gle, scoring Taylor and was followed
by Jansen wso beat out bunt to
first; Shinn came in home when Lew
is hit safely for first and then Mana
ger Kahl took Gossage out of the box
and put Moore in. Manager Flood
had just signed Moore and gave him
to Harrisburg before the game start
ed. Moore showed his appreciation
for what Flood had done for him and
he pitched Weakley nice one that
the latter knocked single out of,
scoring Kisner and Jansen; Wolre
was fortunately hit by pitched ball
and Lewis scored when Flood few
out to Taylor; Dummy Hughes, again
at the bat doubled, scoring Weakley
and Wolfe and made his second run
of the inning right before Taylor
was put out between first and second
In the seventh inning Manager
Kahl decided to put Weaver, another
ex-Cairo player in the box and he
walked Jansen the latter stealing
second; Lewis was also given pass
and the two men on bases made a
double steel, taking third and second,
respectfully and were both scored by
Wolfe when he smashed out a two
bagger.
The game was disinteresting when
it was seen the superior ball Cairo
was playing over Harrisburg and
many left the stand when Cairo made
her ten runs in the sixth inning.
Weakley for the locals pitched a
good game and the support given him
was even better than most had hoped
for although Cairo victory seemed
to be in the atmosphere before ths
game was begun.
Harrisburg has good and clean
team and clean ball was played by
the visitors. Their team was greatly
strengthened by the addition to them
of Halliday and vidovich, both being
good men.
The final game of Harrisburg SER
les will be played today with Boley
in the box. Cairo has no reason to
believe she will lose her perfect pei
centage record and Manager Flood
Of the visitors promises he will no,
hse more than his regular number of
