By DANIEL.


In a rising run market over at Ebbets
Field yesterday the nine representing
Post & Flagg was caught short and
had to assign one perfectly good ball
game to the team from the house of
De Coppet & Doremus. 1t was not one
Of your ordinary contests which the
De Coppet-Doremus combination took
over by score of to 3. The game
was the first of series for the cham
pionship of Wall Street.-The little
worlds series of the Street they call
it down that way, and it's being fought
out on best two out Of three basis.
Post & Flagg got itself into tight

outfit. got away without control, speed
or ability to battle to any appreciable
extent. This malign combination ana
errors resulted in the scoring Of four
runs by De Coppet- -Doremus--a splen-
did start, and start which gave to
the winners their margin of victory.
Evans found himself after that shaky
opening and pitched creditable ball. but
his support was not potent enough to
discount the handicap Evans struck
out eleven men and he gave only six
hits, but six errors by Post and Flagg
eventually made that team an unlisted.
inactive and unwanted stock Issue.
There will have to be a general perking
up If the Post-Flagg bunch are to nip
the opposition in the next outing on
September "a.
Forsythe Not So Effective.
For the De Coppet-Doremus club Bob
Forsyth did the hurting. and he was
almost as lucky as bird who sold out
stock just before 1t fell thirty points
right into the cellar. Forsyth was
found for ten hits. he hit four men with
pitched balls making Hughes his victim
thrice-he got himself into divers tight :.
places--but seemed to have what ID
termed a noodle. And his support was
more effective. more alert. more agrees
sive than that given to Evans.
When 1t came TO cracking the old pill
right on the nose the major honors went
to a batsman from the losing side
Maylander, catcher for Post and Flagg.
In four times at bat the backstop got q
double and two singles. His two basger.
which carromed off, the famous right
field wall wnsf by far the longest hit
and proved the only extra base sock OF
the day. Pell OF the beaten team got
himself a couple of hits. as did Back
lund and Lupfer Of the winners. Lupfer
also got couple of PASSES and had a
perfect batting average.
On defence the stellar deeds were por"
formed by Suglia and Evans Of the
losers. Suglie made a great catch OF
OConnor's short fly near the left field
foul line In the ninth and Evans did an
Art Nehf on liner from the bat OF
Miller In the fifth.

A passed ball was followed by a wild
pitch, groans from the Post-Flagg sup.
porters and a run for De Coppett.
O'Connor walked and stole second.
and then Miller banged an easy one at
SugIia. The shortstop thought that no

meant more groans. OConnor ana NM.
Ter worked double steal. put third
run In the De Coppet column. and threw
tl.a onnosition into n sort OF Black FRI
aay confusion. Everything possible was
happening to the Post-Flasg bunch.
An error by Evans put Miller on third,
end then came Lupfer with a single 70
left-the first hit-and II scored Miller.
That brought the increment Tor the m
ming up to four runs. made De COP

ana made the Post-Flagg team look like
six subway fares.
But Post and Flagg had kick OF its
own. This became evident In the second
