the long grind. The whole contest was
featured by brilliant ield!ng, both

The game was also free from errors.
With the exception OF ono misplay. The
two iniclds went like clockwork. and
when II is considered that twenty one
hits were made and only four strike
outs registered by three twirlcrs, the
quality of ball played is easily gagged.
The one error was by Tim Jordan, who

right. Johnny Bates tapped the second

sailed over the right orchard wall for
the circuit. Although Jordan singled
to right, Hoffman and Bali popped UP
to Carstrom. and Krichell, who singled

Long died on Breckenridge's Grounder

attempted steal.
The third stanza was disastrous for
the locals. as Russell was wild and
very uncertain. Aided by the evident
misjudgments of Umpire Mullin, he
walked four men. The first two up

In the fifth frame the locals were

again in the sixth, after Krichell had
reached the midway pillow on hard

prettily executed play, Fullenwidcr in
