doubled. johnson struck out, but Blair
dropped one into center, which scored two
runs and gave the Highlanders a three
run lead. .
Doc Gessler had three chances to break
up the game, but was not equal to the
occasion.
Roy Hartzell was much in evidence, and
his batting eye was trimmed to the prop
er focus, as the score will show.
Our first run came in the third, and the
youngsters were responsible for the same
Cunningham hit one between Cree and
Hemphill, which enabled him to anchor
on second Gessler's best in an effort to
score him was a strike-out, but Henry
came across with beauty to right, which
was enough for Cunningham to score.
We had some chance to tie the score in
the tenth and triple at that tuncture
would have been a welcome sight. Mil
Ter soaked a safe one to center, and
Milan followed suit with one to left.
Schaefer hit to johnson, forcing Milan
at second. Elberfeld grounded to War
hop, and Cunningham drew a pass, filling
the sacks. 1t was up to Gessler again,
but Knight took care OF Docs grounder.
If Dolly Gray had displayed the field
ing ability in the opening game that
Otey showed. Boston would not have had
a look-in for the game. The recruit had
several chances and took care OF them
all in approved fashion.
A bleacherite coming out Of the park
was all to the bad. When asked what his
trouble was he sorrowfully moaned that
he had been to four games and had not
heard a decent nickname mentioned for
John Henry. the new idol OF the right
field crowd.
Leave that bunch alone They'll find
one that will stick.

SaiH ne The Clean is both beauty to

The Clean belonged to the class Of boats
known as the ''St. Lawrence skiff," the
sTiftest and safest boats of their size
She was about twenty-five feet long and
nad half deck all round, with six.inch
comblng to keep out the water. Two tall

have have soon toppled her over but for a heavy
ordinary breeze; Everything about her was

Mr., Turner was altogether as good as his

There was no fear OF the Clean sinking,

descriptions OF his more fortunate compan-

Great then was his delight when the spring
