The Victorias are by no means out of the running and have chance of winning the second half of the series, which starts on Friday. There are only, five games scheduled for the second half and both teams will have to be right on the hop to win. There was a mistake made by the score board keeper last evening that caused considerable uproar before the evening was over. In the seventh fnning the Circle Six scored four runs but only three runs were re- corded on the score board. The result was, many people, who had evident- I¥ not been watching the ame closely enough to see how many runs had been scored, thought that only three runs had been made and the score was 6-6.
