REYNOLDS-WOLCOTT TEAM FELL BEFORE THE WRENS.

Visiters Outbatted Us, Bat the Effective Pitching of Lakey at Critical Times Wen Contest. *’— . t The Wrens scored another shut-out Sunday, notwithstanding the fact that they presented a patched-up team and the further fact that the visitors made twice as many hits as the Wrens. To ofTset this, however, the'Wren gelding was much better than that of the visitors and they made only one error, whereas the visitors made five, all of them very costly. The Wrens got only four hits, two of them very puny affairs, although one went for a home run, when the Reynolds putflt lost the ball after Timmons had made a little hit over first base. The Wrens made two runs. The first on a combination of errors that enabled Kevin to complete the course and the second being Timmons’ navy yard homer. The best the visitors could do was to get to second and look dangerous, but Lakey #ould always tighten up, the infield would give him some giltOdgcd support and the bubble of hope would be punctured much to the disappointment of a bevy of Reynolds girl rooters that held forth near the third base corner.

The Wrens made a score in the third inning. Kevin lifted the ball to left field, and Remler made a poor guess at where it would light and it got away from him. On the first thrown ball Kevin went to. second, being safe by a clever slide. Jensen then planted another fly to left and although Remler was waiting for it to come down he let it slip and after a little juggling the sphere got away from him and Kevik crossed the plate.' The Wrens could not hit after that until Lakey got a bingle in the seventh. Although he was the first hand up. he received no help from the other batters, although he got down to second when Bpencer at first muffed a throw to cut Elder down. Clark and Swartzell were easy outs and the side was retired. In the eighth Timmons was the first up and he planted a little fly over first base and just inside the line. The Reynolds right fielder thought to deceive the ump and made out that he could not find the ball. Timmons wanted to stop running but was finally induced to complete the circuit of the bases and make a homer, which entitled him to take off his hat and make a neat bow when informed that his feat was good for a box of cigars. Kevin and Jensen both fouled out to the catcher and after Wilcox had made a line drive Lakey rolled one down to first and retired the side.

Reynolds played in some tough luck. In the second Mort Dyer was first up and he_ ripped off a two-bagger to right center. He was safely perched on the bag when the ball was passed back to first and he was called out for having cut first, a thing he would not have needed to have done as he had plenty of time to have stopped and registered. In the fourth after two were down Dyer and Searcey each hit safely but Lux chopped. In the sixth Butch and Silencer each hit safely and things looked bad when Dyer stepped up to the bat, but Lakey determined to pass him and chances with the other batters, but Mort was going to try for a hit any way and while reaching for a high one, popped up a fly that Wilcox caught. Searcey then went down with a fly to Lakey and Lux popped a little cne to Jensen. In the seventh Stanley got a hit and E. Helmlck a sacrifice, but that was all. Spencer got a twobagger in the eighth but was nabbed trying to steal third by a quick peg to Kevin by Wilcox, in the ninth it was one, two, three. The summary:
