Pirates II, Rangers 1

fbrAlcS II, 1t3At8CSS
 The Pirates found the Rangers very easy prey. and had it not been for bad throw by Begley with two out in the ninth Huggie Carlson would have had the shutout he de- served. Carlson was in such com plete control at all times that but one man reached third, outside of the time when Argosy made the round. and only one other player reached second.
 The Pirates piled up seven run
 lead in the first two innings on three hits. a pass and some very wretched fielding by the Ranger in- field. During these two frames the losers made five bad misplays. From this time on there was no doubt as to the outcome of the game, as the Rangers were unable to reach Carlson with any regularity and in six innings went out in order On the other hand the Pirates hi; runners on the bases. Zapatka and Ware each connected for a double and a single while Carlson gathered two single.
 Carlson was within one out a shutout in the final frame when M. Argosy singled to left. He stole second and reached third on pass ed ball Seifel then grounded to Begley. who fielded the ball per- fectly but threw over Yankaskas head in an attempt to make the last cut of the game. Argosy scored on the play. The score:-

The team was on its mettle and heartened by the great game played against the Fall cons week ago Sunday, the crew was determined to win and that's Just what it did do.
 Kensington was placed in pecu- liak position at the start. West, who JuJWTcu HIS pANh aEStldt Nethe d6 '. tried to pitch the game. He went /. all right for the first frame but in the second had to retire on a recur- renee of his injury. Mccarthy of Bristol stepped in to take his place and he went along nicely for the re- mainder of the game. He allowed only six hits.
 The Rangers secured its lead be- l fore Mccarthy could become effec- tive and the team. battled all the way to hold it. kensington came within a hair of tying the count in the last of the ninth when with two men on and two out. hairline de- cision was rendered by Paul at first base ending the game.

 Two cemplste surprises were spFpag over the weekend in base ball when the Burritts nicked the Ealoeas in the first game of their ssries It q. Nary's deld and the Ranesrs forced Kenstnston into the dust la Kenstngton.
 Although Manager Johnny Cabay Aaan't stven out tho information yet, it is expected that the Falcons and D4rritts will engage in the sec- pnd game next Sunday. The game between the Falcons and the Rang era scheduled for yesterday after noon was prevented because of rain.
 Remington and the Rangers will meet in the second game of their series next Sunday afternoon. After winntng the first game. the Rangers are all set to win the second game.
 Manager Johnny Cabay has ar- ranged 2 single game with the Stan- ley Works team. champion of the Industrial league. This will. if pres ent plans are carried out, be played next Saturday afternoon at St. MAry's held.
 Next Sundays battle between the Falcons and the Durritts will be even more bitter. If such a thing is possible. than the one fought out last Sunday. It took II innings for the Burratts to win and Johnny Ca bay found out that it wasn't going to be 70 easy for his team to win as he had predicted.
 Tho happtest man on the lot and there were many after the game was over, was Bruno kania who pitched for the Burritts. Bruno has been anything but friendly to the Fal- cons since he was let go by the team two years ego and he wanted to win Sunday. It was through his work in | great measure that vic- tory did come to the Burritts.
 The Tabs cared little for the loss ~ Saturdays game by forfeit. Let us boat the Burritts on the field. and they can have tho game" one of them said in summing up their at titudk.
 The Tabs have proved disap- potntment in many ways during the past two seasons. and the other managers in the league have ex- pressed themselves as unwilling to have the Main street team in the circuit again unless 1t can act more responsibly.
 Johpny Sheehan didn't expect 10 play Saturday, and he came to the park in his regular clothes. He was sent in. nevertheless, and he had | big day at bat. getting four hits in five attempts. Several spectators en- joined him to wear street clothes in every game after this.
 Blanchard had tough luck in missing his no-hit game. Osborne's $ punky little fly barely escaped Sheehan's gloye-and Osborne had just managed to bit the ball after ma king his usual water-bucket swing. And Erickson's hit would have been an error for Red" Campbell with less liberal scoring.
