Special Dispatch 10 The Star.
BERWYN, Nd. July 3.-Inability to
hit safely at opportune times was
largely responsible for Hyattsville's
defeat at the hands of the locals here
today, to .. Halloran, whose sensa-
tional work on the mound for the Wis
itors has been attracting such marked
attention, hurled n brand of ball good
enough to win almost any game, but
bad judgment in times of stress on the
part of his teammates and their failure
to deliver bingles at favorable stages
proved his undoing. The winners
three bingles were distributed evenly
among as many batsmen, while Fuller
and Snyder. with a brace of safeties
each. carried off batting honors for the
visitors. Brelsford's brilliant fielding
at third for Berwyn merits mention.
