NOME DOUBLES SCORE
 OF FORT DAVIS

In the third game of the Seward league played yesterday afternoon Nome beat Company by a score of 16 to 8. The fort team at times play ed in a way that would make the angels weep. After the game some of the members SSf the team declared that their rottoh condition wac duo to over. work insisted upon by the fort com. mandSr at this time of the year after a quiet winter. One or two of them said that the dutiss imposed upon them rendered good play impossible but however this may be the game was 90 poor at times that a detailed description of it would serve no pur- pose except maybe to create . feSIA ing that it was rubbing it in.
 In the first Trimble reached third but no further. In the second half it looked like good night for Nome when eursik and Thompson famed ont to the very first six balls pitched by Ferguson. 6urley hit a two basser but Coombs failed to support and nothing happened.
 The fort did fairly we'll in the sec. ond when Rennie and MeCarron hit the latter reached third but no score resulted. Lomen scored in the sec Ond half by muffins on the part of tho fort and Allan hit a peach and reach three times. klmble hit in the next and got all tho way round with Fer guson ahead owing to a rather wild throw by Bursik. Then came the de- lugs. 5ursik smashed out a two bag ger. Thompson hit and reached sec ond with Joe en third. Burley ran on his third strike and 5ursik got in. Burley reached second, Coombs took a base. First and second base men Burley also, but called out for cutting third. Lehfeldt hit and let Coombs and loman across. 1t was five to two for Nome. Fort could only reach third in the fourth and then came the es- sence of rottenness. Every man on the Nome team hit and almost every man on the fort nine missed. At the end of the innngs it was ten to two for the city. h the fifth klimble :.A ,hAs. craddock hit. Craddock was lame but ec' to third when the third man up went out. 5urIey, Coombs and Brown hit in the second and all scored, Lomen hitting a two bagser but Lehfeldt was given out for cutting first when re really did not. The forts first base man caught the third man man up.
 Beginning the sixth Nome had lead of IA to 3 when Brown began to weak en and the bases were filled when Mo. Monisle scored. Allan took the ball but the bases were full two or three timss and the fort ought to have scored a thousand. As it was they only got two forced runs thanks to the Nome boys keeping their heads and to good work by Allan after he had got his arm going. Perretti was the other man to cross the plate. kiimbls caught 6urIey and nipped Thompson at second in the second half of the sixth but Coombs added a score to the home team.
