Messrs Meanwhile, Evers and COM
pany got right after our Mr.. Eard
with the blooie-blooie stuff in the f1rst
inning. His only base on balls,
peg to the platter and the
third hit OF the frame-all falling
after the first two men had singled
produced four runs. After that MI.
Eflrd was strictly a bear.
We went right after Mr.. Tyler in
the second, and before he had col
lected his equilibrium, hi alibi and
other personal effects, Flanagan and
Eibel had singled and Mr. Lynch had
doubled, scoring one run. Then
Munich sacrificed flied another tally
home, and after two were down Andy
Mcconnell produced his first reguisfr
hit Of the practice seasoiis scoring the
sorrel-top. Four regular hits and
three runs.
Another in the Sixth.
From that point on, the struggle
resembled a ball game very closely.

Jack Doescher came on in the
sixth, and got away without giving
up anything in that round, although
two hits were gathered by his enc

NJ. Kircher a chance to look mighFg
good in left field. He made three dif-

also cracked Mr.. Tyler for one hit
and laid down perfect sacrifice bunt
in his four trips to the platter.
Aside from MS crazy work on the
bases in the sixth, Lynch had an ct

himself three hits, one a double, Ell
