Yesterdays game was good one,
and was really played in fast time
although it seemed slow to most of
the fans.
En- Sues speedy legs carried him
to score in the third inning, when
he stole home right under the noses
OF Joy and Franco. Both were slow
on the play, Barney winding up with
great defiberation while En- Sue was
well on the road TO the rubber, and
then delivering q slow ball that bare

the receiving end, was also taken by
surprise, and never got the ball near
the runner, when it finally arrived in

Chilly's hot one bounded off Mark

The eighth started off badly for

his base for interference by Franco.
En- Sue was called out for bunting

Both Foster Robinson and Barney
Joy pi.ched excellent games, the for.
mer being touched for four and the
latter for FIVE hits. Two Of these
came together for each lurler, and
in joys case a general slump of his
support did the damage. Both men
had splendid control, and a good
change of pace, and Joy, as above
noted, was the almost-hero of the
game.
