Valier was simply ’outplayed at every stage of the game.’ Fifteën hits w,erc made off Carlon. He struck out only seven men; he issued one pa§s and hit one batter., with a pitched ball. DeMars struck out 11 men; nine hits were made off him, and a couple of these were of the scratch-variety; he issued four passes. In the field and while on bases Choteau clearly demonstra ted their superiority over their op ponents. They made nine scores ^---five- in' the second and - fouf-iif the fourth—in the first i n- nings. DeMars slowed up a lit tle after that and permitted Valier to annex a fp.Wvtallies, just to make tfie“ gaine interesting. When the visitors became dangerous, -how ever, he tightened up again, and in the ‘ lagt innings only two- runs were scored by them. J. W.
