Bill -Brunt, who became a Pa-pa yes- terday, did -everything humanly pos- sible to give the -bundle from heaven -a victory. Pop limited 'the fairy 'town-era to but ten safeties, striking out eight -and giving up three walks. That kind: df pitching would win most games with something 're- sembling -support which he did nO-t gèi It was a good exhibition of the -summer pastime till the 7th frame when the visitors sewed up the game, getting five counters on but two hits-, four errors being tossed in. The Walton men opened the scor- ing in tlte third beat when Wib Gra- ham doubled to left, coming home on -brother -S-an-dy’-s single. The boys' front the Ooun-ty town forged to the lead in the fourth heat, scoring twice on a wild pitch -and a poor throw. Cnbourg added two tal- lies in the fifth and one in the 6th. The homesters- -scored twice in the 6th through Rickard, who hit the 1st; homer seen in Newcastle for years, and Brunt, who tripled to canter home on an error, ami once in the, seventh. Trading the hitters were Pop: -Brunt, having a triple and -a single,. Dufto-n an-d Gray with two hits, Rickard’s homer and Graham’s dou- ble being worthy of mention. Newcastle are out o-f the running- but at the Same time can mess things up with a win or two. This game was "Newcastle's as- well -a-s four more we can think of. Poor fielding has- min- ed any possible chance of getting anywhere. Brunt h-a-s- pitched con- sistently good ball and with support, is as go-oti a pitcher -a-s any in the league.

KIRBY DRUBBED Yes, the score is -badly lopsided, but this does, not say that Oshawa wa-s that much better, n-or w-ere they. Kirby -made some errors that were disastrous. For instance Oshawa hit four home runs which should have on-ly been- 2-base hits at the most, the fielders were n-ot playing -their positions as they should have, thus allowing the home runs. -Oshawa completed a nice triple play, the first -one of the season on the Ideal diamond, it being executed so fast that the scorers did not kno-w what was happening. Kirby had a man on every base when MoOut-ohe-on came to bat and bunted instead of slugging the ball, paving the way for the Oshaiwa players triple. M. Mullen, pitching for the visi- tors, held Kirtby to 2 hits, a 2Jbagger and single -by R.
