In the opening round the visitors
scored two runs without hit. In the
third they annexed another on Con

Wickenhoffer scoring on the throw.

The features of the game were the
pitching Of Bagby and Hirsch. The
former had everything and perfect
control, passing only one man. Hirsch

inigma after the fourth fiasco.

Eve times up he has to his record a
siugle. double and two triples, and
he fielded his position well.
A feature Of the game was tile work
Q. Logan, also Of the Citizens Bank, in
riet field. Logan had never put on
baseball glove before the game, and
he had only one opportunity. That
was one that even Crews would have
edged. A locC, sizzling drive, wear

NJ one hand-the bare one-and the
all struck right in the palm. The
fingers closed over it and Logan
looked down with surprise to see if
he had grabbed red-hot shooting
star. Some of his teammates fell
paralyzed where they stood, and the
true explanation of the incident will
never be known.
The Robinson House would natural
ly not attempt latter day ball without
four pitchers, and they worked them
I all In this game. Bosthwick was the
first, and he twirled four innings and
then gave way to Rosseau, who at odd
times manages the local office of the
Southern Express Co. Then came Ed
Doran, who sells mighty good lumber
with his right hand. and dishes out
in-shoots and drop-balls with his left.
Not wishing to take too much honor
to himself, Doran gave way to Burn
sides who finished the game. Ed
Wales was behind the bat, and his
only trouble seemed to be to get his
mask and NIT on before one or the
other of the pitchers would send over
hot one. Twice foul passed over
Eds head while he was simply dress
ing up to catch.
Ed bears the record of putting out
more men in one inning than any
/ other player ever on the Hamper Park
grounds. There were three men on
bases and the batter knocked a slow
grounder. 1t was fielded home, and
the runner from third stopped and
played tag between the two bases.
In the meantime the batter, the man
on first and the man on second had
gone on to third and were waiting
between that base and home for the
first man to get out of their way. Ed
simply took the ball in his hand and
went out and tagged the bunch. put
ting out four.
Batting honors for the Robinson
House belong to Doran. Not that he
