counter on Saturday. but to-day we

duplicate tho feat yesterday afternoon.
when they tackled the Cockadc CITY
contingent on the Broad Street lot In
deei. To tell a sad tale straight II
must be admitted that the locals failed
TO annex either struggle and thereby
permitted lieinic Busch and his sack
of Goobers TO hang up quintet OF
Scaips in three afternoons. Two of the
games were COPIED on Saturday from
Portsmouth. and two more were landed
in the net yesterday. when the Colts
went down in double defeat to tho
tune Of to 4. and 6 to g.
Both contests were enough to send
weak hearted fans TO premature

several hundred school kids, acting as
one huge. gigantic maniac.> In the
second battle. the same situation arose
IN the seventh frame. when two runs
were pushed across the pan. Grimes
HUSKY" Grimes, il you plcase-was tho
real hero of both spurts, being called

FoXen faced the Coolers in the FIRST.
and allowed thirteen hits His team

throw in trio OF errors for good
measure The hitting OF the locals
was not well placed. except In the
fourth spasm. when Robe came in on
4 circuit drive by Berger. and again In
the ninth, when Grimes came to the
rescue.
Two slahcmen faced Petersburg in
the second fray. Tod Sloan was driven
from the mound. with one man out in
the third. and Ramey was forced to
swallow a bitter pill during the time
he worked. The Colts batted better be-

Colts. the Coolers making thirteen
healthy knocks count for six runs. the
