and Foster met each other in a great
slab duel; and the Zinc company won
great game by score of to / in the
tenth inning, with the game scheduled
for six innings. Lefty Stephenson and
Spitball Foster pitched a fine ball,
working themselves out of holes and
kept the hits we'll scattered 1t was one
great game of ball, with the victory
going to the Zinc company-the first
defeat of the season for Foster. Both
teams played great ball-one of the
fastest and best games witnessed for
years, up to the sixth inning the score
was to O.
The Clerks First Run
Missouri Joe, running for Molitor,
stole second and third base, and with
plenty of skill and nerve gets home
with two, playing the game like Ty
Cobb-anything to win ball game.
The Zinc company tied the score in
the seventh.
The Winning Run
John Tucker gets credit for winning
the game in the tenth inning. Being
the third man up in the first of the
tenth inning, with two out and the
count two strikes against him, he clout-
ed the ball to right field driving in what
resulted in the winning run.
There was a large attendance and all
enjoyed the spirited, skillful game.
