TEAM RISP- Orioles: 4 for 10  Bridegrooms: 6 for 18

1,449 fans were treated to a fine game at Eastern Park as only one run
separated the combatants at game's end.  The Baltimore Orioles won by the
slimmest of margins, 9 to 8.

Both teams had scored 5 runs after nine full innings.  Finally, Baltimore
pulled the game out in the 12th inning.  After an out was recorded, Frank
Bowerman began the Baltimore spurt when he laced a base-hit.  John McGraw was
next and he delivered a single.  One out later, Hughie Jennings then laced a
single driving in two more baserunners.  A wild affair, this game saw the
lead change 5 times.  

The victory went to Bill Hoffer(13-8) who went 11 innings, allowing 7 runs.
Jerry Nops earned the save, his 2nd.  John Brown(0-1) absorbed the loss in
relief.  Baltimore knocked him around a bit, as he gave up 3 runs in 2
innings.  

Baltimore now has a record of 60-26.  Not able to get much going in recent
weeks, Brooklyn is 2-8 of late and now has an overall record of 42-46.
