hand again in the first game Moquin,
also of the S. A. Smith Co. team. was
called into service. This was Adams's
first appearance as pitcher in the
league, and with perfect support he prob
ably would have come through with a
bigger margin although he was appar-
emily weakening in the latter part of the
game.

fact that the runner on second had not
advanced. Clune threw to Donnelly at
second and the umpire called AIoquin
out This started fireworks for the Cot
tons manager protested and Umpire At
kins lost his number. This argument
had inst quieted down when Yarker made
some remark TO Atkins that caused him
to order Yarker out of the game. Yarker
talked back and offered a strong line of
argument to the imp. which reused his
ire and when some of the fans began to
ride him. he lost control. but the smoke
soon cleared and the game continued on
its course. Rupprecht going in at third
base for Yarker.

Urus hit to G. Barry, who played the
ball to third, getting Rupprecht and as
the next two were easy outs the COttonS'
effort to add to their total was in vain.

nedy dug for the plate, but Morrill,, after
hard run. made a pretty catch that
without doubt spoiled a good three-base
hit. Morrill,. after recovering his equi-
librium. heaved the ball to seconds dOu-
bling Kennedy. who had crossed the
plate and realizing the hopelesSness of
getting back made no attempt to return
to second. This play probably saved the
game for Fort Drummer. as the LaSterS
were singing the ball pretty hard in the
closing innings and without such support
as this there is no telling what might
have happened. The scores:
