FIRST INNING.

Vanguard started the game with
high. wide ball that drove Evans away
from the plate. He put the second over
for strike. Evans fouled the third
ball into the stands. Evans then rolled
a fast one to Olson, whose lightning
throw got him at first.
Wanby hunted the first ball. but II
rolled half way between the plate and
third Marquard burned over fast one
for second strike and the crowd
cheered. Wamby hit another speedy
one on dead line to Wheat, whose run
ming catch was wildly applauded.
Vanguard fooled Iris Speaker with a
curve for a strike one. The second ball
was too far outside and the Cleveland
manager let 1t go. Speaker fouled fast
one into the net and the count was two
striges and a ball. The RUDE burned
over another fast one and Speaker was
called out on strikes. Marquard was at
the top of his form. No runs no hits.
Olson seemed to be in a hurry and
raised Coveleskie's first offering to short
right, where Wood made an easy catch.
Covelskie pitched two strikes in rapid
succession to Jimmy Johnston. who
missed both of them. Johnston fouled
the next one. which was fast curve
Coveleskie. with another blazing curve
made Johnston fan. Griffith hit the first
ball and was out on a graceful stop and
throw by Sewell. Coveleskie also APP
peared to be In prime condition. No
runs, no hits.
SECOND INNING.
George Burns hit the first ball and
raised high fly which should have been
an easy out. but the strong gale carried
the ball out of the reach of Klduff and
Konetchy and II fell safe between them.
Burns meanwhile raced toward second
base, which had been left uncovered by
Olson. so that when Koney's relayed
throw to that bag rolled far into left
field Burns kept on to the plate with
Cleveland's first run. 1t was the luckiest
kind of a two-bagger for Burns and a
most excusable error for Konetchy.
The next moment Olson tossed out
Gardner on rather easy grounder, but
when Marquard handed a pass to Jos
Wood the Brooklyn rooters began to
groan. Marquard got a strike and 4
ball ON Sewell and the latter then drove
a clear single to right centre, on which
Wood hustled to third. Myers made
desperate attempt to catch the drive
with one hand, but Griffith. who was
backing up, held it to one-bagger.
Vanguard pitched strike and ball
to the dangerous Mr.. O'Neil and Uncle
Robbie ordered Mamaux to warm up.
Marquards next offering was too low.
Kruger stopping a wild pitch. A fast
ball over the inside corner was called a
strike. and the count was two and two.
Vanguard cut the plate with another
speeder and O'Neil smashed II like a
bullet past Johnston for two bases, scor-
ing Wood and putting Sewell on third.
Coveleskie hit sharp grounder to
Kopetchy, who retired him at first. The
latter then throw to Kruger to catch
Sewell off third, the double play being
Konetchy to Kruger to Johnston. Two
runs, three hits.
Wheat hammered to left centre. where
Speaker made brilliant running catch
at top speed. Coveleskie pitched two
strikes to Myers and then wasted a ball.
Myers hit the next one almost to the
right field wall, where Joe Wood pulled
1t down near the foul line. Little Sewell
snapped up Konetchy's grass cutter and
easily threw him out at first. No runs.
no hits.
