SOME DOINGS
AT THE PARK
A Few Pick-Ups by Sporting
Writer, Sunday.

Wasn't the crowd with the Puri-
tans in the first game, though? 1t
was yell, yell, yell' until the Mar
ions batting rally in the last round.
four runs in the twinkling of a
lash.
Here's how 1t came about. Car
roll flied to Egan, but Cohler was
safe ON Deegan's muff of Smiths
throw. 1t was a costly error. Will
son singled to left field and Gray
followed up with a drive to center.
Goodwill drove a screaming liner
over Hackett's head and Gray gal
loped home. Goodwill hit the dirt
at second on the relay from the
catcher of the throw in and was safe
by inches. Kelly placed an infeld
single past Egan and the final score
was tailed. The other two outs
were made on difficult catches by
Dixon.
Did you notice that the Marions
bad only one bat OF hand? 1t was
enough, at that. But the other
sticks toted up by the bat boy were
broken.
The fans want to know what pre-
vented the first game fTom starting
on time? 1t was scheduled for 1870
p. m, but started forty-fve minutes
late. Smith, of Puritans, was on
the field at one o'clock but had no
uniform. The suit arrived at two
o'clock and 1t took the catcher ff-
teen minutes to attire in fighting
toys. Some OF the fans attribute the
delay to Manager Reidy's attitude
on the question of adding Goodwill
to the eligible list. Such policies
do not help the National game.
Gray, On first base, put up a great
game for the Marions. The scorer
has him down for four hits, in five
chances, with a strike out on his
second trip to the plate. Scorers
differed on n of these hits, a
splash to DANTE in the first inning.
The third sacker tossed to Deegan,
who collided with Gray in an en-
deavor to field the ball. 1t looked
like a scratch hit.
Not a trolley car was on hand, at
the finish Of the game, and the thou
sand spectators started on Shank's
mare for home. Three trolleys came
over the brow a few minutes later,
but of course were soon packed to
the doors.
Carroll, in the eighth. pulled a
fine double play on Damitz's Texas
Lacquer. He tossed to Goodwill
ond noi1oht hT,,JIyoroTy -0 &c 1ooo-A
for the only double of the after
noon. 1t was some play and came
at an opportune time.
Second Game.
Just a word for Morris. He had
the Amboys eating out Of his hand
at all stages, until the eighth inning.
Then bases On balls to Mccormick
and Martin, with a steal by the
former, put the Fairhaven twirler In
a bad hole, Second and third were
occupied, with Kinsulla at the bat,
but he died via. the strike out route.
P. Peterson, in addition to making
the only hit Of the game, was there
in center field. He captured three
hard files after difficult runs pete"
grounded out everytime up, except
In the sixth, when he hit that terri
fc three Dagger.
The Danes made the only run of
the game In a peculiar manner.
Rodda, In the first inning, was hit
on the elbow and proved his con-
tempt for Kinsulla's slants by steal
ing second on the next ball pitched,
He moved to third on a wild pitch
and scored in L. Peterson's long sac
riice fly to Mccormick. The throw
home was beautiful, but Kinsulla In
terrupted the heave and spilled the
beans. The fans said Rodda would
have been caught at the plate II the
pitcher had kept his hands off the
ball.
