The Live Wires, newcomers to the senior section of the City Baseball League, got quite a rough ride in their first game in the new company 4 on Saturday afternoon. The Live covered themselves., They started "Chummy" Lawlor, a . youngster | formerly with Athletics, in the box {tion the young hurler, trying too | hard for strikeouts and with the poorest kind of support behind him, did not make much headway. With a tightening up of the fielding and better handling by his catcher he will be all right. Karl Quinn was at second base and relieved in eighth, Had he been used through- out the game there might have been a different result bu the fielding of the Live Wires was too loose on Sat- urday for any pitcher. tise, one or two more the best of them. The Hussars, with Moore in the box, had everything their own way and will tell Gananoque a different story in the next meeting. The vet- eran Harold Nicholson appeared in centre field with Sammy Hall in right and the reliable Blomely in left and the gardens were thus looked after. The infield is snappy and now work- ing well, Blomely pulled a surprise when he lit on one of Lawlor's offerings in the seventh and drove' it to the junior diamond for a home run. Another spectacular play was a beautiful run- ning catch by Hall, and Nicholson credit. > The game was late in starting and the weather still chilly but it was be good this year. About one fan out of five gives anything to the sup- port of this league and it is a very dificult matter to run it on that sys- tem.
