SALEM WINS FAST
GAVE FROM ALBANY
Best Contest of Season Goes
to Senators Before a
Large Crowd.
After having the game tied up and
put away up lo the ninth inning in
yeterday's clash with the Salem Sen
ators, the Albany Athletics let slip at
the last moment and lost out by the
score of 3 to 2. It was a pretty game
all the way through, and bang up ball
was played by both teams. While
Small, for Albany, had the best of the
pitching engagement over Craig, the
Salem infield was a trifle faster and
'llayed together better. In fact, it
was the excellent work of the inner
garden men from the Capital City
that saved the game for the visitors.
Small pitched good enough ball to
win any game. He has been bucking
hard luck all season, and the jinx was
after him again yesterday. Bobbles
by the infield, a dropped fly by Gith
ens, and a bone head play or two
hanged victory into defeat Small
illowed but five hits, two being very
trratrhy, struck out six and allowed
no bases on halls. Albany garnered
8 hits from Craig's delivery, three
walks and two were hit by pitched
balls, and only three were retired by
the strikeout route.
Albany Scorn First
Air tight ball was pbyed to the
sixth inning and neither team was
able to squeeze over a run. As pret
ty hall as could be desired was played
up to this point and the bleachers
were kept in intense excitement. In
the sixth, however, Mickcla reached
first on Miller's error, stole second
and scored on Clark's double.
Salem tied the score in the seventh
when Wilson singled, took second on
Small's error in handling Jones'
grounder and scored when Ryals let
Rhinehart's infield hit get away from
him.
Exciting Finish in Ninth. .
With the score tied in the ninth
Humphreys, the fint man up for. Sa

McCbesney's error. Jones singled,
advancing Wilson to third. Jones
started a double steal, and wnen
Clark threw to second to catch Jones,
Wilson romped home. The decision
was close and caused a hot discussion
for several minutes. About 200 fans
swarmed the diamond trying to show
Umpire Baker, of Salem, he was
wrong, hut the arbiter was firm and
held to his ruling. Albany was a lit
tle shaken, and Holman, who had

came up and got a single, scoring
