Haber twirled a wonderful game and the Landers batters were power less before his shoots. However ths courageous pitching of Nestor brought him the plaudits of the fans.
 Time after time the Universal pitcher was in trouble but he arose to each occasion and retired his op- ponents without a score. In the second and third innings the first F'afnir batter doubled but died on the middle sack due to the strong twirling of Nestor.
 The run that defeated Nestor was a heartbreaker and came like lightning bolt out of a clear sky. With two outs and Ferguson on sec ond. Nestor forced Bucheri to roll weakly to the box. Ferguson. play ing the game, dug hard for home ana scored when Fitzpatrick muffed Nestor's low throw to first.
 In spite of the error, Eanders would have escaped without being scored on If the veteran Ferguson had not played heads up baseball and kept rounding the bases al though the batter appeared to be an easy out
 Landers had q chance to tie the score in the eighth when a man reached third with two outs. Preis- ser, however. rolled out for the third out.
 Krause had the unusual experience of singling and striking out in the same time at bat. It seemed that Umpire Mangan on first called time but Nestor did not hear him and pitched the ball. Krause promptly drove hit to center. Mangan noti- fed Umpire Lynch at the plate that he had called time and krause was forced to bat again. He then famed.
 Three umpires handled the game last night. Lynch was behind the bat and Mangan and Fitzpatrick on the bases.
 Captain" Walicki played a great game for Fafnirs at second base.
 Nestor. without a doubt, gave one of the greatest exhibition of pitch ing with men on the bases to be seen in this city this season. It seemed that once a man reached first, the Universal twirier became invincible.
 The Burritts can capture their third pennant in the City Baseball League by defeating the Holy Cross team tonight at Walnut Hill park.
 As the Holy Cross aggregation will have a chance to keep on top of the Burritts by taking the yer dict, close game should result.
 If the Holy Cross team wins to- nights game and the rest of the games on the schedule. it will end Up in a tie for first place with the Burritts.
 There is still possible chance of a triple tic for first place. If tho :, Burritts drop their two remaining |, games, the Holy Cross team drops one and the Pirates win all the,- battles, q triple deadlock will result. | However. although this is possible : 1t is not probable.
 By request of Manager Olson of ! the Senecas, President Saunders of the City League has awarded the | Holy Cross team the scheduled Holy | Cross Seneca game of last Saturday ! by forfeit.
 The Seneca team did not show up | and Umpire Mangan forfeited tn" game 10 the Holy Cross team. As it was raining at least 40 minutes before the game and was still rain ing at 4 o'clock. President Saunders i saw no reason for a forfeit as it was | unwise in his estimation. to play | under such weather conditions
 The president Is still of the opin- ! ion that the game should be de clarcd no contest but as long as the Scnccas are willing to give the game | to the Holy Cross team, he will change his decision and give the Polish team the game.
 As the West Ends have not sent in 1 any written protest on the second i Burritt- West End game to either the league president or Judge William,
  the protest has been thrown out.
