After two men were out Jones landed at first safe on an error at short, stole second and scored on Moore's two -bagger to left.

The Pensacolas played against base ball luck. Several times when they had an opportunity of scoring the un-forseen would occur and the scoring would be choked off. Both pitchers worked fairly well, the Idaho boys getting ten hits and the Pensacolas four. Holmes, who played third for the visitors, made one of the prettiest unassisted doubles ever pulled off In Penr sacola, when with Lurton playing off third, Gordon bunted a fly which Holmes caught and tagged Lurton without moving out of his tracks.

TY HAS NO WEAKNESS AT BAT, SAYS RUSSELL FORD Russell Ford, premier pitcher of the Highlanders, was talking about Ty Cobb while In St. Louis, and unhesitatingly declared the Detroiter to be the hardest man to pitch to that he had ever faced. "Most every batter has some little weakness about which every pitcher is well informed, but if Ty has any such falling I've never been told about it," said Ford. "I've tried him with everything in my repertoire: curves, such as I've got, speedy balls and slow balls, dry balls and moist balls; balls inside and outside the plate and straight across: high balls and low balls, and every other kind, but Ty hit them all alike. "It is his terrific speed that helps him out with many of his raps.

Bend over to pick up a bounder from Tys bat and before you can straighten up he is camped on first, smiling at you in that tantalizing way of his."

President Lynch of the National Baseball League, announced today that he had disallowed the protest of the Pittsburg club against the Pittsburg-Cinclnnatl game on May 27, which was won by Cincinnati by a score of 1 to 0. President Lynch says that Umpire Klem substantiates Umpire Boyle that Hunter of Pittsburg was touched out sliding into the bag and therefore, under the rules, there can be no appeal, as the decision was one left to the umpire's judgment only.

Pittsburg, it appears from President Lynch's decision, protested the game on the ground that Hunter was safe and that Umpire Boyle remarked later that he would have called Hunter out even had he been standing on the bag. NAP. LAJOIE WILL SOON BE BACK IN THE GAME By Associated Press. Cleveland, June 16.

Before the largest crowd of the season and amidst Intense excitement, the Alaga syrup smashers and Rexall medicine men battled for five innings for victory only to be stopped by the spreading shades of evening with the score standing 3 to 3. It was a splendid game for the Twilight League and one which recalled to the minds of many similar scenes enacted on the North Hill playground last year. From start to finish it was almost anybody's game and the splendid playing of both teams was little short of remarkable, considering the early season and the poor field. The old time crowd was there, too, keen with interest and full of praise for. the good work of the players.

The attendance was far too great for the accommodations but Improvements will be made In the next few days and If the people will continue to be as considerate of what is being done by the playground committee as they have in the past and lend all possible aid It is certain that the Twilight League will soon be as great a success as last year. The Game. The Alagas In the first on an error followed by a hit and again in the second by the same route. A base on balls, a passed ball and a hit gave them another in the fourth and this ended their run-getting. In all they made four hits, two of which were charged to Jack Carroll.
