FLOR the home team and Poston, late of
the wavering Northern league, hurled
for the visitors. The former pitched a
| good steady game, and was given
snappy support in pinches. while the
latter was touched for twelve safe

home score by his wildness in the sec
ond frame. After the second, altho hit
freely. the visiting slab artist was
steadier and pitched creditably.
Double Plays EnIiven Game.
Double plays in the pinches aided
| both teams in keeping the opposition
from tallying. The home club pulled
three doubles, and the Brennanites
executed one.

star for the visitors, poled three

| Brennan was walked. With men on
first and third Poston waved at three
and Snow dropped the third strike.

| Five Figure in Double.
An unusual double play was staged
| by the home talent in the sixth, five
| men figuring in the retirement, two or
more of the players handling the ball
| twice. In that chapter Donahue led
| off with a single Flaherty hit to right
| field and Donahue attempted to score
| but was caught at the plate, Lee to

went to second on Shows sacrifice.
When Torkelson was retired on a high
foul to Brennan it looked like the end
of a budding rally. But Poston bent
curve in toward Murphy, hitting the
batter on the shoulder. Ryan made
Poston pitch and picked out one to his
| liking for two-hase drive scoring
