NOTES OF THE GAME.

It was probably the best game that
Tim Chism has ever pitched. Reds
was effective in the pinches and had the
Bankers eating ont of his hand. Ii his
team had not made five errors behind
him the money changers would probably
not have scored
And maybe the followers Of the Bank
ers weren't sore when Pierce Riddle
famed in the ninth with bases fun. The
first two trips to the pan the fast first
sacker connected safely. The next three
trials proved disastrous, as the boy famed
on each occasion.
Dan Mulvey for dropping two Of his three
chances In the left field garden.
'1nky" Davis was doing some base rum
ming in the sixth. when he counted from
first on Mulvey's muff of Dyer's fly.
Joe Mulvey was the star ali-around
player of the matinee. He connected for
three timely bingles out of four times up,
stole two bases, and cut of the Bankers
chances for a run in the seventh by a
fast double play.
The only extra base hit of the game
was made In the sixth. when Mclean
hit for three-quarters OF the circuit.
Yesterdays game was the second nine
inning affair of the series. Both games
have been played between Andrews and
the Bankers.
That was some catch OF Hayes in the
sixth inning; Miller sent a fly behind
short that looked good for a bingie, but
the fast short fielder ran back into left
and caught the pill with one hand.
"Joe' Mulvey made some catch in the
sixth OF Boykin's pop ny.
Two Of the Bankers three runs came
as the result OF errors OF the Canaries.

About 100 fans came over from George

Pugh, Sullivan, and Kilroy pulled off a
louble play in such quick style in the
fifth that some Medico rooters are still
N that inning.
Umpire Handiboe again officiated in
fne style. and his work in the entire
series has been Of the highest order, not

Hughes speed and curves. and in the
three times that he went to the plate

grounder to the pitcher the other time.
johnny Jones was the only player
TO get credited with an extra base hit
and his double came only after he had
famed twice
