In a pltchnr's battle today bet weon Harding and Langford, the 8oldi(ira ukuIii came out on top, tlila timo to the tunu of 2 to 1. But it waa not Harding's fault. He pitched a groat game, giving tip two, meanly binglea, one of which took a bad hop and hit Bctzol In the face, putting him down and out temporarily. Tho wholo trouble can be ascribed to four wild throws, our Jinx of yesterday. With two men down In tbe first, Cleveland got a life on Bowdoln's error, lie started to steal and Red's peg went to Hicks In center.

Cleveland kept going and scored, when Hicks heaved Over Jack iBowers' head. The Boosters camo back at thorn with a marker In' the third-session. Munson was safe on Dubhs' boot. Red stole and went to third when Dave Taylor's attempted throw bit Hick's bat and rolled to the grand atand, Then Hicks smashed one through second and Munson registered. Hicks was out stealing.

The Old Soldiers' second run wan an exact repetition of their fim. With one out, Cleveland walked, stole and cams home when Munson pegged to center and 1 licks again threw over third. Just at this fane the rtrlstol Infield was almost put hors de combat. Alexsnder hit one toward second which took a vicious bound and hit Betzel In the face, After repairs were made to the llttlo second Backer's nose, Alexander stole and cut Bow doln's foot on -tho slide, ltowdoln, however, stuck out tUe game.

He Is fast and his fielding and throwing are above Cleveland made two sensational stabs off Garrett, thereby robbing "Tiger" of two tills mid saving the day for the Soldier crew on one occasion.
