HILL WINS AGAIN

RCarmen Hill, the bespeclSled twirler, : >gistered his eleventh straight win as the result of the victory. He pitched good ball, especially when the Gulls threatened to become dangerous. The feature of the game in addition to Hill's work on the mound and the hitting of ElIIs, was triple play executed by the Barons. It came in the fourth inning and was completed so quickly that the majority of the fans did not know what had happened.
 The Barens hammered Ad Brennan, the Gulls' stIr south,saw, from the mound in the first innirf He was relieved by Joe Wiley, who fared even worse than the former Cracker.
 The morning game was the best of the two, and was witnessed by about 5000 people, an excellent attendance for morning game. Rube Marshall had the Barons on his hip and his perfect con trol worked hinl out of many dangerous holes Loveless pitched good ball, al- though he was wild and passed six vis- itors Eight hits were registered off his delivery.
