The feature Yas the batting of
Pitcher ApauT KkG, who got two two
baggers and two singles in four trips
to the, plate. J, He leaned against the
ball to good purpose, all the hits be-
ing to left, and one of them, In the
third inning, missing the top Of the
fence by few feet only. Besides his
batting feats Apau held Chapman and
Alexander, who hit $50 and .472 re-
spectively in the series just closed,
without a safe bingle out of four times
up apiece. .Ayau furnished the field
ing sensations, some of his assists
from deep short being hummers. His
pegging to first was fast and accurate.
The first run came in the third,
when Henry walked, was advanced on
Mitchell's grounder to third and then
scored on Walsh's hit Markham tried
for. the double when he gathered in
Mitchell's grounder, but Ayau threw

A Little Talk to the Misfit Outfit.
When | first faced the members OF

which to build and which could be
developed, felt sure. AS ! always

have been in baseball.
I'VE are all here for work and not
for play. We are mere to begin train

which no ball game is going to be
considered lost by this club until the
