Pitcher Cothran Holds Heaviest HitterS Helpless; Losers Field MiSeraby Behind Cassidy Who Is Batted Hard.


 Is Batted Hard.
 The elements having maliciously | conspired to delay the much adver- tised Pearce aggregation, 1t devolved | upon the c. X A. combination to don | the necessary paraphernalia and once | more do battle with their longtime | rivals Right nobly did the Grays l play their part in the endeavor to l furnish some tip-top diamond sport for the small crowd of the faitGful who had braved the somewhat indie , ment weather, for the purpose of cheering on the home lads in their efforts to curb the aspirations of the undefeated Pearce nine. Perhaps, however. it was just as we'll that the pearCe team did not arrive. for the Boosters hardly We're in condition to prove a credit to their home town. But it is unnecessary to dilate upon this fact, SO eloQuently told by the ignominious defeat of 13 to 8 which the Grays handed their rivals.
 Most unmercifully did the C. & A. players seal the stigma of defeat upon the brows of the ball tossers who. only a week ago or so before. had as sumed to contend with them upon a plane of equality. Cassidy. who reigned supreme for several weeks, was ignominiously dethroned for the time being the Grays landing up- on his offerings for D safeties, five of these being of the double-sack var iety and another a triple
 The support accorded the Boosters pitcher was of the most miserable sort imaginable On the second sack Wagnon gave as comprehensive an ex- position of how baseball should not be played as has been seen, in a long time, upon the Warren Park diamond. Finally his work became SO absolute ly disgusting that he was changed to the short field, Manager Buchanan, no doubt, hoping that the change of scenery might rebound to his benefit. However, Wagnon did not get a chance in his new field of labor it cannot be said whether or not the change was beneficial. Stewart, who changed places with Wagnon. worked in a satisfactory manner.
 While emphasizing the fact that the Boosters showed a miserable article of ball. at all stages, in justice to the wonderful work of Pitcher Cothran of the Grays, it must be stated that he undoubtedly would have won the game with the Boosters in their best form Fans should take notice that il is Cothran, to whom belongs the bulk of credit for turning down the Boosters.
 The little sOuthpaw held the Copper Queen batters absolutely helpless all the way. His record of IA strike-outs and but five scattered hits tells the tale of how regularly the Boosters kept up the futile procession from their bench to the rubber and return On two occasions Mir. Cothran grew a bit merciful and issued free tickets, also hitting one batter
 As is inevitably the came when bat ters connot fad the offerings of the boXman, the Boosters averred that Cothran positively had nothing on the ball but the cover. Lest anyone be deceived and for the benefit of those not in a positive position to observe, let it here be stated that Pitcher Goth ran has a repertoire calculated to de- ceive more consistent stickers than the Copper Queen lineup. Using a most effective change of pace, Cothran mixes his fast ones with the slow teasers in most tantalizing manner Besides using his own head to advant age, he was aided a whole lot by the battery sagacity of the humorous Mir Fuller Besides his change of pace Cothran also has the knack of endow ing the ball with a most terrific jump as well as a few other intricacies oi the boxmen's art which the Boosters might well ponder for some time tC come
 As Cothran contributed the mos spectacular feature of Sundays game most space has been devoted to tho effort to extend him a reasonabl, measure of credit As a whole, thu Gray combine played good ball N attempt is made to analyze the grue some details of the slaughter. Ter rife clouting aided by miserable CT TOTS, is enough to ruin any team. Thu the humiliation of the Boosters.
