Death has claimed two more victims

Macon, Ga., March 28.—“Had yes
terday's game been played In tnld-
seaaon between two major league cluba
a tighter and a more Interesting con
test could not have been asked for/'
That Is the way Napoleon Lajole takes
the defeat of the Nap* by Macon yes
terday afternoon. Macon turned* the
trick by the score of 2 to I. It was a
ten-inning affair that fairly sparked
with thrilling play* from the beginning
to the dose. . Murdoch’* long drive far
above the head of Center Fielder Bay
In the end of the tenth, was the culmi
nation of It all, and as Chandler trotted
home for the winning run* the Ohioan*
beat it to the bench. They had fought
their hardest to take the contest, but
had overlooked the fact thut Macon
was some chestnuts herself.
Purlng the Anal two Innings Cleve
land wan forced to assume the defen
sive, Glenn Llebhardt was being
roughly treated by the Mucon batter*,
lie Clarke wa* proving
while Clarke wa* proving a puzzle.
Helm worked during the Arwt five In
nings of play against Thlelman and
when both left the fray the score stood
nip and tuck, 1 to 1, and three hit*
Thompson were the star hitters for West
Boo.
Henley, the Classlcala’ old reliable pitch
, was right there with the goods, striking
piii out ut critical stages of the game,
mid showing form that will some day pul
him In professional ranks with his hrothur,
Weldon.

registered against both pitchers. In
five rounds Lledbhardt was bumped six
times; Clarke but twice.
Splendid fielding behind Clarke had a
lot to do with the result. The errors
that were made during the game were
not of a costly nature.
Last night the quartet of Cleveland
newspaper men found It hard work In
explaining tlie defeat. What made the
Job rankle the more was the fact that
a day or so before they twitted un
mercifully the New York Americans
for dropping two games to Macon.
