Although handicapped by the absence of three of their stars, Hoffman. Schmitt and Borre, the Bil- liards did some real clouting, and, .to- gether with the twirling of Captain "Dutch" Runtz with nine strikeouts, and Moore's speedy pitching in the last three innings, they had little | trouble in chalking up another victo- ry. The hitting and fielding of Schaefgen featured. Captain Runtz played his usual stellar game* in the box and at the receiving end for Moore's speedy drops. The Foster Speed Boys, booked for Sunday morning, failed to appear and cheated the locals of one more scalp. On next Sunday, at the local grounds, the fans will witness a battle royal when the speedy Langgruths of Chicago visit the Billiards in a re- turn game.
