ture by the score of 3 to /. Frank
Gregory, the local giant. and Roy
Brown, all around men of Hills team,
engaged in a merry pitchers battle.
Gregory was strong in the pinches,
while the Speeders hit Brown when
hits meant runs. Dan Senno, q native
of Buffalo, N. Y, sure looked like him
self of old during the combat. Dan col
lected in doubles and fielded nicely,
both in the outer and inner field. To
add to this array of doin's, Senno pill
fered a base. Eddie Wise was spiked
in the second inning by NJ. Smith and
was forced to retire from the battle.
AS result general shake-up was
necessary Jimmie Wall went to short
and Dan SennO came in from the field
and covered Jimmie's territory around
the third cushion. Kid Holly, who was
enjoying the game from the grand
stand, came down and got logged up
in his suit and covered Dams place In
the outer garden.
Pitchers Were Strong.
Gregory and Brown both hurled
ball. Frank seemed to
have a shade over Brownie up until
the ninth inning, when he slightly
and allowed the Bunnies to
score on three hits. including 9 double
Gregory had great control and the
men from Cedar Rapids seemed to be
unable to hit him with any degree Of
success. During the earlier stages OF
the journey 1t looked as II Frank was
giong to repeat his great feat of the
Sabbath and hold the Bunnies to two
or three bingles. 1t must also be said
that Brownie pitched nice game.
Brown had q wicked drop that he
served up to the Speeders on the cor
ner of the plate and it proved puzzle
enough to make ten of the boys drop
the hickory. Like Gregory, Brown had
nice control.
Hill Has Good Team.
Any Of the fans who might have pos
sibly stayed away because Cedar Rap
ids was here certainly lost out on
something worth seeing. Hill has
greatly strengthened his team since
they were here before and we do not
wonder that they have been making
the other teams sit back and take
notice Pa now has a team that is
worthy OF first division birth. His
athletes all display lots Of pep and
that is one thing that makes them
look so good.
John House, baseball player in the
summer time, and overseer Of Indian
papooses and sQuaws in the vicinity
of Oneida, Mimi, in theDf season, did
Mr.. McCarty, Pa Hills chief back-stop-
per, one of the neatest tricks imag1n-
able in the second frame. The trick
proved rather beneficial one to the
home folks, however. After Doc Sulli-
van doubled to right. John came to the
plate. Brown uncovered one of those
wicked drops of his and the leather
hit McCarty on the shins. The ball
rolled to the right Of the little catcher
and he failed to see just where 1t
went. John pointed his war club to the
left of McCarty and he started In
search of the sphere in that direction.
couldn't find the ball to save
him and Doc Sullivan came to third.
The whereabouts of the leather was
still mystery to Friend McCarty and
Doctor John came tearing for home.
When Sully was within about three
feet of the rubber McCarty discovered
what John had done. 1t was the great
est play ever pulled off, and it is more
than likely that some of the fans are
still roaring when they think Of it.
After doing that trick, House then
doubled to the left field fence. Gregory
