CELLAR COLTS DE-
FEAT THE N. s. P.
N. 5. P. Again Suceumhs to the Superior
Playing Of the GeIhar CoIts---Who Sup
plemented by Picked Men Of Various
Teams put to Naught N. S. P. Efforts
By the Official Scors-Keeper T.W.L.

Last Saturday the fans of the ST.
lent city turned ont en- masse to
witness the fourteenth contest Of
the season. The visiting opponents
on this occasion were the Cellar
Colts. or rather. l should say that
was the name they played under,
for the team was composed of rick
ed men from three clubs, namely:
Zorn, Byle and Mcclellan of the
Starkles; c. Hoy, S. Hoy and Boo
of the Simonet,s. and Easton, Shat
tuck and Loney of the Cellar Colts.
This was the teams second APP
pearance here this season and as
they carried off the honors in their
former visit by the long end of a
score of 11-16, the fans were more
than anxious TO see the tally re-
versed, and were pretty confident of
their wishes being fulfilled, for in
the former contest the home team
lost the game through large num-
ber of errors-13 in all. So with
the fine showing our boys have been
putting up of late we were conf
dent of victory, but our eXpecta-
tions were not realized as the visit
ors came out on top to the tune of
13-7.
The Colts played splendid game,
the Hoy brothers. Boo, Zorn and
Mcclellan displayed exceptional
ability at the bat. while they one
and all covered their positions in
the field. Mcclellan pitched good
game, issuing only three passes. two
on balls and one hit batsman. He
allowed the home team to connect
for fourteen safe hits. but he man.
aged to strike out nine.
The M.S.P. can can charge their
defeat to fielding errors. Thinking
to strengthen the team, Saxo and
Pat were replaced in the garden by
two new recruits, Della and Wag.
While the new players came to US
with good record for past per-
formances, they failed to deliver the
goods last Saturday. Wag was re-
placed at center in the eighth by
Saxo, but it was too late to change
the results.
Della should prove TO be good
acquisition after some seasoning.
Bergie at left covered the position
in bis best form. The infeld put
up a splendid game altho one error
was charged to the player at short.
Laff, behind the plate, showed to
better advantage than he has for
some time. Red pitched a very
fair game and while the visitors
connected for eighteen hits he only
passed one and struck out three.
In the fourteen contests played
here 80 far this season, the home
team have won eight and lost six,
given them percentage of .572
and from now on we should be on
the increase.
The following lines by John w.
Hammond, from a recent issue of
Sporting News describe our fans
to T.
q BLEACHER TALK.
s'All kinds of feelings are displayed
Among the Fans who are arrayed
By hundreds in the bleachers hot,
Who say some wise things and some
rot.
They're inconsistent as can be
And only try those plays to see
That happen right before their eyes
And never venture to surmise,
That players who have errors made.
Or by bone plays high hopes have
laid,
May be good players just the same,
Altho such lads they'll harshly
blame.
The cry goes mp: "Aw yer a joke,
Your poor old bean must be in soak;
You make so many errors rank.
