The Baron portwheeIer was hit hard but the GuIIs were unable to bunch their snfeties.

 After losing the morning fray, Moley decided not to take any chances. Black was selected to do the tWirling because he has been exceedingly effective against the Gulls, which gave him chance to tie the Southern league pitching record for consecutive wins for this season, which he did.
 Jeff Holmquist was the choice of Schmidt, and the star Gull twirler re- ceived many bumps. He was continually in hot water and the Barons would have scored more but for fast fielding.
 Niederkorn led the Gull assault in bat ting. He secured three singles in as many trials. Carl Flick and Burke were also in the hitting game Burke secured two doubles and scored the only run. Tod Sloan and George Hale did the work for the Barons, Although Cecil Coombs failed to get but one hit, he scored three runs, and made two great catches in deep left.

Baumgardner easily counted on the play For the remainder of the game, second base was far as the Guls could safely venture. The Gulls later got annexed safeties of the southpaw's delivery, but never became dangerous. tt
