Seven years ago a lanky country lad
sold his strawberry farm at Barnesyille
to win fame and fortune on the base
ball diamond. He had an arm like
blacksmith. and miscellaneous assort-
ment of curves, with which he fooled
all the batters who stood up before him.
Out in Toledo, when he returned home
from a successful trip, he was accorded
a reception, and the brass band played,
See the cOnquering hero comes" After
that he was all swollen up with pride.
OF late he has been hankering for an
other ovation. He wants to be Il
quering hero once more. For eigh, IN
nings yesterday he saw visions of brasa
bands, and waving handkerchiefs, and
a wild mob of Gas City rooters, and
Notorius Pastorius was the central fig
ure in that mental figure. Then
he saw stars. Unconsciously he had
been bowing, and scraping, and posing
in the box, getting ready for that recep'
tion. But in the fatal ninth when Kern
trotted across the plate he tied MS
long limbs in bow knot, folded up ms
handsome face-nit - and silently,
noiselessly, a great big briny tear rolled
from his left optic and sunk into the
earth.
For eight innings the lanky twirler
presented Billy Whites boys with goose
eggs. In the fourth, Pritchard got TO
third. and Crotty to second. Jack
Donovan stepped up to the plate, and
the "rooters" held their breath, but the
hit that they longed for never came.
Jack swung viciously with his right,
but the sphere ducked cleverly and got
away. and there was a rush Of wind to
fill the vacuum caused by his lunges.
He was peaches and cream for Pas
torius.
Not until the ninth inning did Wheel
ing get a man past second again. III
that inning the Findley twirler suffered
from over-cOnfdecene. Regan was nrst
q. tn, bat. He was so anxious to knock
the leather off the ball that he advanced
half way toward the pitchers box IN
order to connect with the sphere before

waited for a good one and smote 1t on
the equator. When it was gathered up
out in center garden, he was resting on
second bag. Then "Old Reliable Dan
Crottv. who had no trouble in gauging
Pastorius' curves, made his third hit,
single over second base, and Kerr
rotted across the plate. Crotty went TO
second on the play. and was advanced
q base on a wild pitch. Donovan struck

coming home. Troy ended the agony
by giving up the ghost at first.
Kane brought a nice collection OIL
halls 10 the Park with him, and for four
innings held the Gas City players down
70 one hit. In the second Thaddeus
Troy made the prettiest catch Of the
season. Zane banged the ball out be
tween center and right. Troy started
after il on a hard run, with one mana
above his head. and pulled 1t down, ana
the "bleaehers" went wild.
In the fifth. one run was made on
fatal error by Pritchard whlch gave
life to Zane. the first man at bat. Hen
