3. Not the kind of a day for ~Our
Dave" but he was in the game Just
the same and handed out few tens
ers and an exhibition Of stick work
that showed that he knew how to do
something beside putting over a drop
curve. The Watervilie lads are a
husky bunch and from the start it
was evident that they were out for
blood. but il did not come from the
source they hoped as they were van
quished.
The home team played rather loose-
~ and only saved the day by n bat ;
ting rally in the eighth that secured
the ssletery for thenr and produced a
pafftle nionium of noise fstch as has
seldom been equalled on the field A
more wildly enthusiastic crowd is diff
ticult to imagine. Even chronic
fyspeptlc' Would have caught the en-
thusiasm as the crowd was keyed at
concert pitch. The girls contributed
their share and hoarseness was ex
ceedingly popular in the city, ON Sun
day.
TIaifren certainly pitched fine bali
for the visitors and his support
throughout the game was excellent. He
had q drop ball that was something
of a puzzle and almost invariably fol-
lowed it with a straight high one.
Blair handled the infield in an excel
lent manner and usually had the ball
at first when II was wanted David
son gave no base on balls and allow
ed but four hits but his support was
erratie and not of the quality the lads
usually hand out His stick work saw
ed the day. for he had three Of the
eight hits To his credit and his double
stacker. in the eighth. pulled the team
