Although two errors are checked against the Barons, both being made by Eddie Mc- Donald and aiding in the scoring. the entire team fieIded q sensational game. The outffelders gathered in the long flies, while COombs and Meusel made several fine running catches.

 The Chicks scored their first run in the fourth. Stark singled and stole sec ond after two were down. Ruel scored him with single to right The Chicks second tally came in the seventh inning. Grimes was safe on McDonalds error. Ruel smaeked one to center Wright struck out and Chadbourne popped out but Eddie Hemingway slammed one to left and Grimes counted. Walsh popped out to end the inning.
 The Chicks attempted to stage a rally in the ninth. but they were able to count hut once. With one gone, Ruel was safe on Mcdonald error. Cy Barger batting for Wright, singled. Chadbourne famed Eddie Hemingway again delivered, sin gling to left Walsh again failed to de- liver, ending the game
 The Chicks had but few other chances to score, but good pitching and superb fielding stopped every rally that was staged in the early sessions of the game In the second, hits by Stark and Tenant in succession. with none down, failed to net a run In all other innings except the first, when Chadbourne scratched a second hit, the Chicks punched their bin- gles and counted.
