CRIPPLED PIONEERS
 ARE OVERWHELMED
Fraternal Leaguers Win in Canter -BOnehead Play Ends in
 
 Triple Put Out.

In weird game that went but seven innings, the Red Men cham pions of the Fraternal league, easily defeated the Pioneers at the Ellis street diamond yesterday afternoon, score IS to 8.
 The boys from the south end, were in a sadly depleted shape, with number of their best players out of the game for various reasons, Conlin, a second baseman going behind the bat and Pitt a shortstop, essaying to hurl. The latter went along until the fifth inning when an avalanche of hits forced his retirement. The game was lifeless the only features being triple play by Blinn and Campbell in the first inning and catches by Blinn, Pitt and Fusadi. Abrahamson of the Red Men entered the ranks of the "bOnehead' class when he at tempted to steal second base in the first inning with the stations congest- ed, thereby making the triple play possible.
 Tommy" Blanchard for the victors pitched in fine fashion after the first inning, and the semi-pros were at his mercy throughout the game. The fielding of the losers was of a sloppy nature, a number of dumb plays making it possible for the winners to add to their score.
