A. Victory Over Tenney Team.
The city baseball league, composed o
four teams, opened Saturday afternoon
at lntercity park, small crowd, due II
part probably to the uncertain weather
witnessing the Y, M. G. A. aggregation
accumulate six runs In the first two in
nings and thus defeat the Tenney nine by
a @ to 2 score. After the second inning
Bousquet held the association batsmen
well in hand, only three scattered hits
being garnered off his delivery in the
last seven innings. Opposed to Bousquet
who grew better as the game progressed
was Milo, the high school HEAVIER, who
allowed the Tenneys but five hits, three
of these being punched in the fifth in
ming for the two lone runs of the defeated
team. Disheartened apparently by the
early lead of the association, the Tenney
men went out with monotonous regular
ity for the first four frames and aside
from the fifth stanza they failed to show
much with the stick, getting three men
on bases in the ninth, but being unable
to push them across.
Egan, the Tenney's guardian of the hot
corner, and Morse, the sturdy catcher,
showed up as well as anyone on the cleo
| trio company's nine, the former accept
ing five chances prettily and polling out
a hit in three official times at bat and
Morse caught Bousquet well, made hit
and pegged out three wouldbe base steal
ers. He was handicapped by Bousquet,

ers hug the sacks.
For the winners. Clark and Doyle
proved to be the bright stars, the center
fielder making two hits and proving to
be Ty Cobb on the bases, pilfering
three. Doyle knocked home run over
the center field fence in the first inning
and hit the ball hard every time he came
to the plate. He caught steady game.
The run making: Pape received slow
ball on the shin and ambled to first. He
promptly stole second and came home
when Cullen attempted to sacrifice but
gained first on an error by Baldwin. Gull |
len was thrown out stealing second. |
Shepard walked and came home on
Doyle's homer off one of Bousquet's slow
curves. The ball rolled into the river. |

pitcher and came home on two success
