"We have met the enemy and we Jiave been licked twice." And to think that the Tigers, whom every other club in the league has been pounding until his tail is almost twisted out of Joint, did the trick. Too bad, for Beading had a prime opportunity of strengthening its grip on the second rung, Well, what's done is done and it can't be undone. The best thing to do is to majifj tlje best of it and hope for better luck next time, for this race is not over; not. by a jugful The first conflict, which went 10 roonds, ended 6 goals to 5, and the secortd, a seven roun affair, wound up. 6 to 2.

There is no question about it, Reading should have won the first game, and such would probably have been the case had not Charlie Becker, who did the heaving, been derricked in the eighth inning. in favor of Johnny Barthold. The policeman entered the fray without much warming and he was clouted more than would have been "the case had he been prepared for the emergency act. Becker was pounded some, in fact fairly hard, but the bingles were rather intermittent. Topham, who was on the hill for the Tigers, pitched a fine game and it was his clout in the tenth inning that wo the Topham was especially effective in pinches.

Some glaring mis Plays by Reading were a whole lot in favor of the Tigers, too. Reading scored two runs in the opening round 0n a single by Rogers, Crooks' out and Foster's home run drive to the right field fence. In the third Trenton narrowed the scoring one run on Brown's life of Swayne's forceout at second and a two bagger by Muttay. In the sixth Trenton got two runs, ivhich put them one to the good. Trooks dropped Lynch's throw of Murray's grounder, Rogers let Millman's to first, to catch Murray napping, go through him.

A moment later Murray was out at third on Magoon's grounder to Lynch. Price's out put Magoon on second. A double by Braun put Magoon across the plate. Braun omped home on Harkins' drive for two bags. In its half of the sixth Reading got over three runs, which put them two to the good.

Rath bunted to Braun, who sna.ifi a wild heave to first and Rath jeot to second. Rogers" sacrifice put on third. Crooks connected for a'tripla and Rath scored. A double by Foster brought over Crooks. Foster sored on a drive by''Dell past Price.

Whert Trenton scored run In the fieveTith. on singles by Bjwayne, Brown iisul Clark 8Pd Mttrray'sfout the score was 5 to In favor of In the Isht.h, with Barthold pitching, one run, on a triple by Price and a single by Braun the score was tied. Trenton won In the tenth on pass to Price, Bream's out end a single TjyTopham. Reading bad a fine chance to at least tie the score and ultimately win out, getting three men on bases, but the necessary little single could not be mustered. Despite the fact that Trenton presented a crippled Braun, a catcher, covering third In place of Hess, who was badly spiked by Litschi, in the game, at Lancaster, the team playe fine ball.

Silver played the third corner as though It was his job every day. In1 the second game therelwas noth ing to it but Trenton from the start, due chiefly to. the fine pitching by BUI Matthews. His teammates encouraged him, too, by playing a flawless game back of him. Trenton got one run In the first Inn ing on Rath's failure to handle Brown's drive and Murray's single.

To this was added three in the third on a home run by Swayne, Jackson's error of Crooks throw of Clark's grounder back of first, Murray's single and a double by Magoon. Reading got its only two runs In lt3 half of the third on a pass to Rath, Crooks' single, pass to Foster and single by O'Dcll. Jackson, who pitched for Reading, was hit with some freedom at times yhen. hits counted most. Four of Trenton's drives were for extra bases.

Murray was the star pounder of the game with threeeaf drives, and Swayne had two, one of them a fine home run. The scores: J'Jj FIRST GAME. TRENTON, Price, ss. Braun, 3b. Harkins, c.
