It was the best game of base ball seen on Duffy's field this season, and Minooka ws defeated by the score of 3 to 2. Tony crane iimeiy nu in the eighth inning and "Billy" Pughe's clever base running won the game. Until noon yesterday it was expected the Tritons would be here, but they disappointed the local management and to please the patrons of the game Manager O'Malley at the eleventh hour arranged a game with Minooka and was fortunate in securing the team. Griffin pitched for the visitors and let us down with five hits. He was in the best of form and twirled the best game that he ever pitched in Carbon dale.

He had a fast fielding team behind him and they gave him excellent support. McHugh at second and McDonough at short for the visitors both had spectacular pickups of difficult chances, and "Cy" Young, out in. right garden, made a pretty catch of a line from Mulgrew's bat. Dwyer was in the box for Carbon dale and pitched a steady gams despite the fact that he forced in one run by giving a walk, while there were three on bases and one man out. This was in the sixth inning and his wild ness was responsible for it.

Here he showed his coolness and nerve and deliberately retired the side. Billy Pugh has been signed to play with Carbondale the rest of the season. He was in yesterday's game and showed up well. He distinguished himself by accurate throwing of a difficult pickup, cutting off a man at home plate; and his base running caught the crowd. He's a graceful runner, a skillful slider and a good base stealer.

Yesterday he stole two of them from second to third and then home. J. Crane, in centre field, made a sensational running catch that would have given Minooka. a run. Cranston, who has also signed with Carbondale, ws in right garden.
