OGP VTLITOOS .Speaking of Sportsf COOPOTCOVCITPOPVLIIPPIVIIY The contest between Landers and Fafnirs at Walnut Hill park last evening was a wonderful exhibition of the national game. Fans were treated to a great pitching duel between “Lefty” Habur and Nestor, an occurrence that Is very rare nowadays. Haber twirled a wonderful ggme | and the Landers batters were power- | luss before his shoots. However ths courageous pitching of Nestor brought him the plaudits gf 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 sccond and third innings, the first Fafnir 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 a lightning bolt out of a clear sky. With two outs and Ferguson on sec- ond, Nestor forced Bucheri to roll weakly to the box. Fergyson, play- ing the game, dug hard for home and scored when Fitzpatrick muffed Nestor’s low throw to first. In spite of the error, Landers, would have escaped without being scored on it the veteran kad not played heads up baseball | and kept rounding the bases al-| though the batter appeared to be an | casy out. | | Landers had a chance to tie u.-“ 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 | Umplre Mangan on first called time but Nestor did not hear him and | pitched the ball. Krause promptly | drove a hit to center. Mangan noti- fied Umpire Lynch at the plate that he had called time and Krause was forced to bat again. He then fanned. ‘ Three umpires handled the game last night. Lynch was behind the tat and Mangan and Fitzpatrick on the bases. | “Captain” Walicki played a great | game for Fafnirs at second base. Nestor, without a doubt, gave onc of the greatest exhibition of pitch- ing with men on the hases to be seen in this eity this season. It scemed that once a man reached first, the Universal twirler became invincible. The Burritts can capture their third pennant in the City Basebull League by defeating the Holy Cro 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 ver-| dict, a close game should result. | —_ | It the Holy Cross team wins to-| night’s game and the rest of the | _sumes on the schedule, it will end | up in a tie for first place with the Burritts. | “There is still a possible chance of a triple_tie for first place. If the Burritts drop their fwo remaining games, the Holy Cross feam drops one and the Pirates win all thew battles, a triple deadlock will result However, although this is possible it ix not probable. e | By request of Manager Olson of | the Senccas, President Saunders of | the City League has awarded the | Holy Cross team the scheduled Holy | Cross-Sencca game of last Saturday hy forfeit. The Sencca team did not show up and Umpire Mangan forfeited the! game to the Holy Cross feam. As| it was raining at least 40 minutes | befor2 the game and was still rain- | ing at 4 o'clock, President Saunders saw no reason for a forfeft as it was unwise in his cstimation, to | under such weather conditions The president is still of the opin- ion that the game should be de- clared no contest but as long as the | Senecas are willlng to glve the gam to the Holy Cross team, he will change his decision and give the olish team the game As the West Ends have not sent in any written protest on the sccond Burritt-West End game to cither the league president or Judge Willian Mangan, the arbiter of the league. the protest has becn thrown out. — . | GASCOS BEAT POLICE | Sets | ne Down By Score of | Jim Lynch's Diamond (rew Bluccoat N Eight to' One.
