Wyatt Lee, in His 0ld-Time
Form, Holds Dunnites to
Three Runs.
From a stan Correspondent.


BALTIMORE, Md, July 15.-Just
when the Orioles had a chance to draw
UP on the champions, the Rochester
Runaways, McGinnity's men smote the
Orioles hip and thigh, and the reverse
stung the Dunnites to the quick. Wyatt
Lee was the orioles main obstacle in
yesterdays game, keeping the flock to
six hits, three of the clouts clustered
in the eighth, resulting in two of the
Birds runs, but the game had already
been sewed up by Newark, as the final
of Z to 8 would indicate.
Bill Louden played a leila role on
the defensive, making some sensational
stops inc throws, and he hit the ball
hard, too. Cady got in n of his Did
time pinch wallops after relieving Nc
Carly, and his bang drove in two runs.
Aeler made both of his hits in the
pinches and both were clean drives. he
reached first jrst five times yesterday
twice on hits, one on an error, once on
a walk, and he was hit in he ninth.
Joe has a batting average of 1893
for the last ten games In only o OF
these did he fail to reach first base on
either a pass or a hit. In those ten
games not including yesterdays, ne
reached first twenty times, an average
of twice per game, making seven sin
giles, one double and two triples, and
drawing ten passes. 1t can easily be
seen how far superior GOES stickwork
is compared with his last years
record. Joe is now anxious to finish
the season above the 300 mark and will
succeed, if he continues to hit as hard
as at present. Joe owes much of his

DIOCESAN UNION
SELECTS OFFICIALS
FOR FIELD DAY
lOO-Yard Dash Will Be Run as
1t Was at BelIeyiIle
Games.

The principal matter considered last
night by the Diocesan Union in con-
nection with the annual Field Day was
the selection of the officials to act on
that day. A list was made up, com
prising names of the most experienced
men in this vicinity, and the secretary
was instructed to extend invitations to
serve to them.
The track and field committee has
received assurances from the Hillside
Park people that the track would be
put in perfect condition for the annual
field day, and that the anne plan of
running the 110-yard dash employed at
the Belleville \. c. games would be OPP
e~rative, thus assuring a full view of
the event from start to finish.
Already there is nj end of interest
being displayed over the outcome of the
meet this year, and there is bound to
be a record crowd on hand. Elimin-
ating the teams from out of town, and
strength is all conjecture, it looks
like a tossup between Fred S~eyfarth's
st. Columba's team and Percy Flana-
gan's collection of Belleville flyers. AL
though on form the former team should
be returned a winner, Flanagan prom
ises a few surprises, and the toughest
scrap In years Is anticipated.

In Thursdays gam Fisher had three
