Collins and Weaver led with singles, putting it up to Jackson to sacrifice them ahead. Mr. Joe hunted a little pop fly which did no particular damage, but when Kelsch smashed a hit toward h-fl, Groh raptured it and started a double play by way of second base. Swede Hits One. Risberp's long drive came off in the fourt h with one gone. It was a three-cushion three-cushion shot, and, before he recovered his wind, Sehalk hung out the hit-and-run sign, then dumped a bunt toward third base. Fisher attempted to pet the ball in time to stop the Swede at the plate, but missed it, and both' men were safe. Schalk was nailed trying to steal and Kerr rolled out. The only other chance the Gleasons had to score came In the sixth, when Jackson Jack-son led with a teaser which just eluded Kopf's grasp in short left center. Two misenes on the hit-and-run play followed. Jackson was rvailed at second, with Fclsch at bat, and then Hap drew a pass, only to be flapped himself at second base with Gunuil up. Chick finished by striking out. The worst scare the Rods gave the rooters root-ers was in the fourth, whim Kerr issued his only base on halls to Groh with nobody no-body out. Roush was robbed of a base hit hy Risberg, and Heinie reached second on the jpkiy. Duncan slapped a high liner toward left, but Risberg pulled it down and tossed the pill to Kddio Collins, retiring re-tiring the side. By I. E. SANBORN. CniAC-'j, Oct. 3.
