In the best game yet played in the Twi-
light League series the Tigers defeated
the Lockwoods by a score of to Sat-
urday afternoon on Alumni field. There
was a fair sized crowd out to see the
game but it was altogether too small for

playing was fast from the first ball to
the last one. The game went to regula-
ton nine innings and neither side scored
until the seventh, when the Tigers by
reason Of clean hit by Butler with
man on third and two out. broke the ice
In the next inning they also put across
run. The Lockwood boys tried hard to
get at least one man across the platter
but just when things looked promising
the boys with the ferocious name would
ugnten up and put a stop to the rally
In the sixth the Lockwoods had man
on third and no one out. The next man
hit liner that Lessor. the Tiger third
basenlan, made big league catch of and
doubled his man at third. The next man
was an easy out. Again in the seventh
the Lockwood team had the bases full
and only one out; but a fast play at third
put an end to their chances A few err
rors were made but they were on hard
chances and they were more than made
up for by fine stops and catches, while
neither team could be coaxed into throw
ing the ball around. playing with a stead
