Last week they played two splendid ex-j hibitions, and won both. On the other hand, the railroad ers put up one of the best fielding games seen in the league this season. They fielded brilliantly and hit at opportune times. While Shay struck out nine of the members of the winning team, the latter got their hits in clusters, which brought In the runs. Reading sent two runners across the plate in the very first inning, j "Vic" Ibach reached first on an cr-! ror. W. Euker was passed. Wingard j erred on Levan's drive and both the runners counted. In the next round three more runners raced over the pan. '*Tim'' Euker knocked out the first of his trio of bingles. Po land made a miscue and G. Swartz reached first, Euker advancing to second. The latter counted on Win gard's second error, Ibach going to first. McCurdy rapped out a pretty double, sending two more across. But the Reading captain was thrown out at third In trying to stretch his hit. Not content with five runs, the nine .managed by "Charlie" Pressler ran the score to eight. "Tim" Eu ker and E. Swartz made the hits that brought in the tallies. Galahad also had busy sessions in the third and fifth. Shay and Cobaugh sent two team-mates home with timely hits.
