. TO 3 COUNT.
Pitched Good Game. and With Proper
- support Would Have Brought
Home Victory Play
Again Today.

Some rather loose fielding IN the
ninth and tenth innings gave Terre
Haute the third game of the series
yesterday. BraVener was on the mound
and twice during the early part OF the
game had things seWed zap and II
looked like a sure victory for the
Smokes. Red Ainsworth was doing
the firing OF the heavy artillery Tor
Lefty Gilbert. and he pitched good
game. The Smokes, however. con
nected with enough of his shoots TO
have carried on the scalp of the visit
ors. but the foozles OF Braveners
hackers cost him the game.
y II was another of those long drawn
out scrappy affairs. Gilbert and his
team has won the distinction OF being
one OF the "crabbiest" lunches in the
league. The umpire seems 10 be one
OF their targets to shoot al on one
with whom they are eternally trying
TO pick quarrel. Fortunately. how
ever. the present arbitrator. who Is
one of the hest in the league. has
gotten by with nothing more serious
than protented game or two on his
hands.
Ideal weather conditions prevailed.

the fun when he got a double TO right,
