their old stride and took the second
game of the series with the Savages
by the overflow count of II to 2.
The game was as one-sided as the
opener of the series had been and the
savaces had no more chance than
fummingbird would have in battle
with hungry hawk. The locals
could have made it just as interesting
for the pennant grabbers if they had
been blind and one-legged.

For the first four innings of the

for a no-hit victory, but all prospects
of this were spoiled in the fifth round

Only One More Run.
The only other Savage run came in
the ninth inning, Agler again being
the man to count. Josephus got on
with a double to left, was sacrificed

Lindimore grounded out.
The only redeeming feature about
the playing of the Engle men was
their fielding. In the second inning

against the fence that was really a

hit a line drive that he had to go up

the locals was pitiful and at least two
scores were lost by the failure of De-
