CHICKEE-EATERS ARE STILL ON TOP-WIN FROM BLUE SoX fN HARD-FOUGHT GAME = EVERYBODY INTERESTED.

A torrid twin-bill was staged on the local ball yard yesterday after noon with the Chicken-eaters again coming out with their percent un- tarnished. Yesterdays results were as follows: Chicken-eaters 4, Blue. Stockings 3; Bolsheviki $, Sub marines 3.
 O. c. Eorment, manager of the Chicken-eaters, desired to make the game more interesting for the Blue Sox by placing a raw recruit on third, and said recruit came near spilling the beans and handing the old game away with a little assist ance from his team mates. The leaders started off in their usual manner by counting couple in the first spasm, one free trip, one error and one safe blow doing the dirty work. They followed this up with another pair in the second stanza and with Slusser pitching a varied assortment of twisters that the op- position could not fathom it looked like lead pipe for the c. Els, but after that their run-counting ability was nil and the Blue Sox came near tieing the old game up in hard knot in the sixth frame, but Rob- ertson kindly hit an easy one to the pitcher with the tieing tally perched on second. Slusser held the Pres byterians to four safe blows while his teammates only made it one better. J. Harrington did some fancy heaving himself, allowing only three hits in the six frames he worked and these were widely scat tered. He issued only one free trip to first, too. Hummer pitched the first disastrous frame for the Blue Sox and filled the bases up for Jimmie to start the second, but the said Jimmie came out of the hole in swell fashion.
 The Blue Stockings had only se- cured two safeties up to the fifth round and Slusser was working like a machine when Robertson stepped up to the platter and hit measly roller to him and he kicked it. Rob- ertson stole second and when Toney hit to Turner, he reached third and Toney second on Turner's wild heave to first. Nixon then hit roller to third and when no one covered first, Robertson and Toney counted Tn the next frame with two gone, McCulloch singled and stole second. Jimmie Harrington hit high one and McCulIoch reg istered when Benthall dropped it. That ended the counting for the day although che Blue Sox had a nice chance to tie it in the last inning but Toney lost it when he was out trying to pilfer third.
 The Second Game.
 Tn the second fracas the Subs went on another deep dive when the Reds united the count in the sixth and then sewed it up hard. Nixon had his fast ball hopping and his curve breaking like a hoop al though the fray, witf the exception of the third and fourth frames, when the Subs got all their safe blows. On the other hand, South paw Woodall was not working well, as usual, and vas nicked for seven safeties in the six frames he twirled,
 An error, wild pitch and 8 single counted one for the Bolshe- wiki in the first. They tackled on a couple more in the third on a combination of weird pitching, one hit and two miscues. The Subs punched three singles with a free trip and a passed ball in their half of the third round and managed to dent the pan twice. Eugene Hamp- ton leaned on one in the next inning and only exceptionally fast fielding held the hit to three bases. He walked in a moment later when A. Nixon made a juicy balk. This ended the Baptlsts' doings for the afternoon and left the tallies even up with three to go.
 And take it from us the Bolshe- wiki went to it in their half of the sixth, hit batter and a wild fling by Doc combining to give them three runs and the game. With Nixon fireing heavy artillery the Subs went out in order in their half and the Bolsheviki copped their first win.
 Next Thursday the Chicken-eaters take on the Bolsheviki while the Subs and Blue Sox battle for the cellar championship
