NOTES OF THE CAME.

In the first three innings but nine men
faced Groom. O'Neill, who reached first
base on an error, was doubled when
Gregg hit to Mcbride.
Joe Jackson did not DO anything with
the stick on his first attempt but in the
fourth came through with the old bingle
which scored Leibold.
Two Naplanders died on the sacks in
the fourth when Terry Turner bit the
dust on one of Groom's curves.
Gregg was put in a hole when Terry
Turner dropped Johnston-s assist or Nc
Brides grounder. O'Neill a moment later
which proved costly.
The occupants OF one Of the boxes
behind the Climbers bench inadvertently
started fire during the fifth round. Nc
damage resulted.
Bobby Groom displayed a lot Of stun
in the sixth when he famed the mighty
jackson. Chapman was, on first at the
time.
After fooling around for a long time
trying to get a good lead, Chapman, in
the sixth, ventured too far and Groom
picked him on.

Foster pulled a fine stunt on Turner
in the seventh when he grabbed his
grounder and shot II to Gandil Chick

In five of the nine innings but three
men faced Groom. He did not issue a

the eighth inning yesterday plainly
showed. Engel pitched three innings
against New York on Monday and is
confident that he can give a good ac-
count OF himself today.
Boehling has been the Maps Nemesis
this season. The blond southpaw has
won four games and lost one against
