chine went to pieces and on several
misplays and a bad break when

bounce and went over Overstreet's
head, for their second run which
should have been an easy out. One
more run was made in this inning
before the side was retired.

managed to bring the score to one run
of tieing the score but in the ninth
inning Overstreet, who had pitched a
fine game behind miserable support,
! let up little and before the side had
been retired three runners had cross
ed the rubber, one of the hits by Minor
Jones was long three bagger that
went to right center fence.
Goodbread on the mound for the
visitors pitched well and while his
support was not perfect the errors
were not very costly.
Villino with three hits out Of four
for the visitors and Rymer for the
locals with the same number were
the batting stars of the day. followed
closely by Wood and Leon for the
locals, who connected safely twice
in four trips to the bat
