DUBLIN, July 3.-(u P.)-Fierce

and two hits. The third and fourth
innings were uneventful, only six men
from each team facing the pitchers
during the two frames.
In the fifth Umatilla scored theii
first run. A hit and two errors placed
Blakeley on third and he scored after
Thorne's fly had been caught in center
field. In the first of the sixth Spin

run.
