Sunday when the Athletics triumph

Ia to 2 count and the Athletics were
determined upon obtaining adequate
revenge.
Not content with merely winning
the game the Athletics fell upon the
Pirates highly-toute imported pit
cher with vengeance and clouted
the ball in vigorous fashion. Before

Athletic players became infected
with a holiday spirit and slammed
the Spalding with reckless abandon
to various secluded and sequestered
spots on the field.
There is no doubt that the Ath-
lletics outplayed the Pirates at every
stage Of the game. Altho the field

at times, the defense as whole was'
superior to the ragged support given
Thompson by the Pirates. ~
