Jodon did some tall hitting in the first game, gelling a two-bagger and two siogles in three times up, Webster also ghit a two-sacker, In the second game, which went seven iouiogs, the lineup of Hecla was somewhat changed, aod Plessant Gap by hitting the ball when hits meant tunes, defeated the former in a game that was noted for occasional protests, the umpire, who by the way was a resident of Hecla, being the fault in each case. It was a hard pill for him to swallow to see his team jose both games, sud in order to avert two defeats, he made decisions which are not in sccordance to the rules found iu the Reach or Spading Guide. The spectators at the game sided with the visiting team in their appeals to the umpire to make the decision as he saw them, even though it cost Hecla the game. The Gap worked bard for the victory and deserve all the credit due them.
