Up to the present date the locals have

BASEBALL

The Hudson Railway Shopmen, who are
putting up good class of ball, gave the
locals one of the hardest tussles they have
had this season and when the game was
the score stood II to II.
The locals put up an exceptionally poor
class of ball and especially SO in their de-
fensive work. This was something un-
usual and it is hoped that the fasco will
not be repeated again. They smashed out
enough hits to win any ordinary game but
their weakness in their defensive work
was more than they could overcome by
their offensive work. They had splendid
good chance to break up the tie in the last
round but their inability to hit and hit
safely, when a single meant the winning
run, they could not get one past the in
field. Yves led off in the last frame with
three-bagger to left, which caused the
excitement to run up to fever heat, for the
promising winning score was stationed at
third, and none out. The locals mana
ger at this critical moment yanked off his
coat, saying: 81 am going to bat for
for Gels and break up the game" But
when the second ball was delivered, it
hit him on the shin, giving him free trans
portation to first. Mye and liver both
went out on infeld flies to Ferguson and
Sher was thrown out Burke to F. Peter
son, causing the local fans clamoring to
close up like trap.
Both teams accumulated a total of ten
hits each, the visitors ten hits were for
twenty bases, while the locals topped them
by just one more. Both teams had seven
runners placed on the runway by bases on
balls or hit batsmen, so there was no par
>ticular advantage over each other from
this point. The visitors had four men to
reach first base on errors, either by muf-
fng flies, dropping thrown balls or boot
ing the ball about in general. Every one
of these errors were the direct result of
score, for each and every one of them
left their footprints on the platter before
the side could be retired. The locals had
only one man to reach first on an error
and moment later his life was snuffed
out at second on felders choice. From
this point of vantage it is easily to be
seen how the visitors had no opposition in
knotting up the score, but they had to play
some real baseball in the last round to
keep the locals from breaking the knot.
Just because the game was filled full of
bungles did not necessarily make it un-
