saffron exhibition may meet again i I the next day and piny the dizziest kind l of a fast game I you doubt this observe ob-serve the record of the last two games I I between the Rio Grande and Short 1 Lino teams The Short Lines on Sat I urday were moppod by the Rio Grandes all over the lot and thrown down by the frightful score of 2S to 5 rhO Short Lines yesterday made the Iclo Grandes play all the baseball they knew and were defeated by the close score of 5 to 4 In n game that was full of all kinds of life for nine in nlngs A closer and harder game has not been seen hero this year and but for one hoprlessly weak spot In the Infield the Short Lines might have had the game Tho Short Lines also had a chance to make It a tenInning game If Bert Margetts who was playing out of his position In right had not dropped an easy fly In the seventh inning in-ning But all these things will happen hap-pen The Short Lines seem to be followed fol-lowed by a demon of ill luck and I when they put up a furiously fast I game and hold their opponents down to a small score for the better part of a game some unfortunate error seems to ahvnys occur to assist In keeping I them at the tallend of the I procession PENDERGRAFT AS A CYCLONE Aside from a little scrap there were two featureplayers in I yesterdays I game Pendergraft was the t most no tlcoable one and pitched the best game I of the season thus far Only four hits were secured off him One of thcst I was a homo run and Klmcrcr carried It off Pendergrafts spesd was ter riflcand barring a wild pitch which I i did not cost anything his control was superb Of the men sent to bases on balls one at least has the umpire a now and not very good man to thank If one of the mon sent down on called balls did no have three good strikes ncnt over the plate most of the lamps In the grand stand were away off Pendergraft got one error a most excusable ex-cusable one He muffed n high twisting I twist-ing Infield fly the direction of which compelled him to look directly into I the sun hut his work was of the gilt edge order taking i all the way through Taylor also pitched a fine game his wirst break being 0 bad throw to first letting 1 runner reach third and subsequently home Ills I support at critical times was disheartening disheart-ening but he only allowed the his to be bunched on him In one Inning Thorc were only two earned runs in the same vv I > KIMERERS HOME RUN Klmorcr made tho second home run of the season on the local grounds and did not send the ball over the fence to do It He drove It to deep center where It rolled under the fence and I hofore It could be fielded he was palling pal-ling the home plute with his front paw I Klmerer put up a rattling good game I all tho way through making one assist I as-sist from middle left and catching a runner at the r > late OTHER GOOD ONES Berkeley was a great catch yesterday yester-day Ilic way he whipped I the sphere across the diamond and caught I thoughtless runners looked like old times i No lean than five Incautious stealers came to grief through DevIce leys good right Hopkins to his deep disgust l was nallod twice at second an1 loppy can run pretty fast too It was found Imposlble to filch a single sin-gle base from Berkeley yesterday and only one was stolen on scare An time rolls on It Is dawning upon many who did not know It before that Fred Cain at third Is I a pretty strong youth He accumulates errors at times but lie gets them In n most commendable commend-able way Nothing looks too hard for him 1n 1ho cuts off as many hits aa any man in tho Short Line or another an-other Infield Ho gets after an impossible im-possible ball once In a while and gets an error but it Isa pracllcc to been be-en rather than discouraged It might bo asked after all thlg talk of brilliant Individual work how the Short Lines lose ao steadily For one reason there la a bad hole In the In fiold Bennett ought lo be moved Into thC outfield where he has always played and where is ns good as anyone finale the new man Is I an infioldcr and Is said to be a fast one lie could be placed In the vacant position po-sition An additional pitcher would nol hurt tit team Manager Cllppln gel realize this and is I now looking for a new man There IB some talent in the Short Line team that Is as good as there Is going and with some changes LhCro Is no reason why the team vhould not get In the running JUST SMALL SCRAP There was a rnlnlalure scrap during the game yesterday but It only lasted a minute and did not create any disorder dis-order RIsley hit for two sacks and tried to stretch H to three The ball was thrown In and Taylor In catching I It at third dropped to his knees blockIng I block-Ing RIaley oft the sack RIsley thought Taylor was trying to deal him an Intentional In-tentional Injury which Taylor Insists I was not the case and on arising to his feel RlHlsy kicked at Taylor Taylor Tay-lor started for RIsley nnd In a moment the two loams were gathered about tho place Hop > started to get In to see yhat was carrying on and thinking think-ing iloppyt purposed soaking Taylor Bennett hit Hoppy In the face About this time Big Bill Hotter landed In them the-m lclst of th thing and pushed all the bnys apart There Was no outcry the game went right along again and nothing further was heard of the matter mat-ter Baby Asbury dropped over to the grand stand to assure the spectators that the thing was practically over as soon as he started that way his fear Home bulk and wellknown war record chilling all who might have continued the aftray The umpire was a stranger to most of us and ho did not look very good Some of his decisions had large corners cor-ners on them notably his calling Bort Margetts out on an Infield fl1 when Margetts was the second man up and I his predecessor had singled This wan about the worst but there were other Following Is the detailed score I RIO GRANDE AB R IB PO A E l Hopkins c t 1 1 1
