THE COMBACMOWDERITES
The Visitors Captured First Game By a Score of Six to One,
and Lost Second Contest, Two to One-- Callahan's Hitting
Added to Burgess’ Baserunning Created■& Little Excitement
Whenever Either Man Was in Action
The Combaeks-Crowderltes divided
the double bill yesterday afternoon, the
latter club winning the first contest
by the score of 6 to 1 and losing the
second, 2 to 1.
Although the score in the first gam?
was a little one-sided the contest was
a good one. that is with the exception
of the eighth inning, when the locals
allowed the visitors to score three runs
off of one hit; however, two errors
were the real cause.
Here's the “agony:”
Callahan hit for two bags Starr
was hit by the pill. Crowder bunted
and was thrown out at first. Chalker
received a free ticket. Burmeister
who errored, thus allowing a safe
passage to the first station. Johnston
flew out to left. Shaw relayed to
Brouthers who threw to Berfcer (Calla
han scored on the sacrifice) but satl
to say Crowder crashed into the local
catcher, which averted a sure out, and
Starr also scored. Pownall flew out
to left retiring the side incidentally
defeating the Combacks in the first
game of the double.
Seoond Game.
The second contest, which was called
in Jacksonville's end of the fifth in
ning on account of darkness, was fast
and snappy, the locals getting a lead
in the first inning, which, by the way.

the "fun:”
Burgess hit to second, landing safe
on a short throw. Smith bunted and
was thrown out at first. Shaw singled
to left. Berger did the same hut his

scored from second, exhibiting some
sensational base Tunning. Clark took
a walk. Barker hit to the visiting
twirier, landing safe on first, also scor

New York.—Don’s Review says toduf?
Business is with remarkable power of
resistance, adapting itself to conditions
unprecedented in ths history of the
world. Never has this country given
more convincing proof of Its ability to
meet grave emergencies promptly and ef
fectively. Already conspicuous progress
has been made in the work of preventing
demoralisation In the markets and pre

of trade.
So far ns this favored country Is con
cerned the worst of the financial streps
Is over and the markets are gradually
getting Into a position where material
advantage may he derived from the dis
turbance. The interruption to export
trade, due to the situation in foreign
exchange and the withdrawal of ocean
shipping fscllltles, is now the chief
esuse of trouble, export freights begin
