Count Louis was carried to the club house, where the team physician found it necessary to take five stitch es in his leg. He will probably be out of the game at least ten days. Both teams scored in the first in ning, and in the second the Lookouts were only held back hy superb field ing. Alcock led off with a single, Wilkes fanned and Alcock stole sec ond. Carson threw wild to catch him and he went on to third. Brooks then drove a red-hot grounder to Hohn horst, who fielded Just in time to catch Alcock at the plate, and when Brooks tried to steal second Carson shot him down.
