More than 500 fans. near-fans and
others who just wanted 10 help the
game along assembled AT Warren
Park Sunday afternoon to watch the
speciality events and see the Boosters
and Grays contest for both money and
glory 1t was perfect day and the
event complete success i'm every
way The game was a splendid one
from the standpoint of interest, and
altogether the affair cannot fail to
prove O big impetus to the sport.
Honors i'm the speciality events were
evenly divided between the Grays and
Boosters. Following are the different

The Game.
Although out-hitting the Grays and
playing a closer fielding game, the
Boosters suffered defeat to the extent
of 90 g.. AS has been the case sew
eral times this season at Warren
Park, the defeat was due in great
m easure To miserable base running
This most important department Of
the national game seems to have
been sadly overlooked in the coaching
of the local players On the other
hand. the errors of the Boosters,
while less in number, were committed
at more critical times than We're
those of their opponents.
The game was a splendid one for
the crowd, as, at no time, could either
team be said to have the game con
ice" although it looked very bad for
the Boosters when the Grays came
from behind and secured a two run
lead in the sixth, as Lefty Cochran
who had replaced Baugh in the los
er's half OF the same session, was
pitching in the form which has spell
ed defeat for the Copper Queen con-
tiugent every time he has worked.
The veteran and ever popular Baugh
was sent out to start the game by
Manager McNelly but the heady local
HEAVIER again failed TO show the goods
which made him a success i'm previ-
Gus seasons. After showing signs of
weakening ON several occasions, his
Waterloo came in the sixth when the
Boosters punched single, double
and sacrifice.
The loss of the game for the Cop
per Queen team hardly can be charg-
ed to big Mcconnell who pitched a
very fair article of ball and kept the
hits pretty well scattered with the
exception Of the sixth when two sin
giles and a bone rsn spelled '&nis"
for the Boosters hopes for victory,
as well as their aspirations for a slice
OF the prize money.
Barker Moore and Lafont made
their bow to local fapdom and all
created a favorable impression. Bar
ker had bu, two chances I'm left gar
den which he accepted perfectly. In
three times at bat, he negotiated two
singles. He also walked.
Barker is a Splinter and he aston
ished the fans in the eighth by his
exceptional ability in beating out a
bunt Lafont, at short, played error
less ball, although getting but three
chances. Moore. at second base, had
IA chances and was guilty Of but two
errors. It's a pretty good excuse
however, that he is not used 10 the
treacherous spots on the Warren
Park diamond, which cause plenty Of
errors from those that are At the
bat Lafont drove out one single which
figured I'm the scoring.
