as City league pitchers struck back
at the batters and avenged the slug
tests which had been characterizing
the league. Roses perfect perform
ance was the feature of the after

much speed and stuff that the Tabs
connected solidly only twice during
the entire nine innings. 1t was Rose S
first start of the season.
Al Havlick and Morse Richtmyer
hooked up in a pitchers duel, Hav-
lick allowing the Speedboys three
hits and Richtmyer holding the
Pirates to two. but atrocious field
ing behind Richtmyer gave the game
to the Pirates despite Havlick's con-
slant tendency toward wildness. The
final score was GA. This left the
Burritts and Pirates still deadlocked
for first place.
The Rangers kicked over the
traces and finally uncovered bat
ting attack, winning their first game
by outplaying the strong West Ends
and taking 9-S decision. The
game was slow but full of excite
