 Both teams played good ball throughout and several plays were of 8 sensational order.
 Clabby in centerf1eld for the River view club made one of the prettiest catches ever seen on the hospital grounds when he speared a long fly with one hand and then fell on the rough going near the building in cen ter.
 Stanley was the individual star of the game in both fielding and hitting.
 Hourigan was much wilder than us- ual but pitched fine ball in the pinch es.

 Roger Hornsby, of the Cardinals, tops both Cruise and Kauf with .322, The way he has improved of late, it would not be surprising if Kauff finally gave his old Federal League rival, Rousch, the real run for the honors through the stretch.
