scn,c Pecvish Work.
The play was close all the way in
both contests. In the afternoon Heav-
er Cummings, who was not feeling
we'll when he went into the box, threw
away his game by some very peevish
work in fielding the hall in the sec
n inning. when he handed the visi-
tors three runs by his erratic playing.
This put him up in the air and he
only laste1 part of another round un-
III Peasely succeeded him. and only
allowed one run, which was enough to
win the same.
In the evening there was a nice
crowd out to watch the athletes per-
form, and they werc treated to a nifty
came of ball.
Whitesides. a former Maroon. and
ltirsth opposed each other on the
mound at the start, and each threw
nice ball. with the local man having
the hest of it until the seventh, when
he got wild. and Brown pulled him
out and substituted McQuarry, who
managed to retire the side. but in the
next round also had trouble in finding
the plate, and with the bases full, fore

monds on a doubtful decision by the
umpire.
The locals took the lead in the af-
ternoon after Sturgeon was retired.

Murdo was also safe when Edmonds
threw wild to second to get the fleet
footed Freer. when McMurdo ground
ed in front of the plate. kierkham
flew out. but Krueger's single scored
Freer and McMurdo came across on
Altman's single, lIeinie making the
third wild pitch.
Inc visitors tied up the count in the
second. Van Dine singled after one

ribs and a wild pitch moved 10Th run

and the pitcher. instead of playing for
Van at the plate. pegged the ball wild
to first. AMI two runs scored. An
other vas counted when FIasty hit Ed
monds in the lack when trying to
throw him out at first.
Bell still Hitting.
4 single by Canty. another error by
Cummings. and Heyser's two-base
drive. followed by Il pass and another
tw%o-hase crack by Bell. was good for
three more for the Forks in the third.
Winnipeg put one across in the third
on a walk to ~Irreer's sacrifice and
krueger'a single. The deacons added
enc off Peasley. in the fourth, when
kirkham tried to make u grandstand
play of DeEaven's single and missed
it. and the hit went for three bases,
showing a run across ahead. The To-
Gals grabbed one more in their half
of the fourth when Clotl1ier doubled
ard Sturgeon did the same.
Wilson pitched good ball until the
eighth and only a star stunt By Dona-
a prevented Winnipeg from coping
the game, as a batting rally netted
n run. Though Manager Brown
called in his reserves in the ninth. the
pinch hitters could not deliver.
The second contest was marked by
many interesting features. Donavan

on two outs and scored on n wild
pitch. Winnipeg came back in the
second n evened, the score. Kirk
ham walked, was sacrificed to second

Good Chances.
The visitors were dangerous in the
fifth, but failed to score. In the sew
cnth they also started a rally when
Donavan singled and two men walked.
Hirsch was yanked. A fast double
stopped the rally when McQuarry took
the mound.
Winnipeg went into the lead in the
sixth. A single by Kruger. a stolen
base, an out and a wild heave over
third by Ednonds trying to catch the
Dutchman, being responsible for the
run. Winnipeg had a nice chance in
the seventh. but a close decision at
third by the umpire robbed them Of a
likely looking rally.
Run Forced In.
The eighth brought one run for the
pacotahs. DeHaven singled to start.
