 The game was regular slugfest with Is runs, 30 hits and 16 errors amassed by both teams. There was one good double play, homer, four doubles and a beautiful stop of sure home run by Cope of the Le- zion who went back to the fence and into the air to make great enchanted catch of Cantillion's long hit that was labeled for a cir cult drive.
