At the last minute a telegram was received from O’Con-, nell stating that he would be unable to be down and Bill Miller, who plays short stop on the team, volunteered to try and hold N o rthport down. Con sidering that Miller has not pitched in three years, he pitched a remarkably fine game, holding the strong North- port batters, among whom are the famous Hawkins brothers, down to five runs. Miller held N o rthport down in every inning but the fifth, when with a base on balls and a few hits, with some inexcusable errors, they secured three runs, clinching the game.
