famed and fouled around then until he
got two strikes, but finally popped an
easy one up in the air for Griffin. Nc
Bride again tried in vain to meet the
ball fair and Glenalvin threw him out.
Nyce drove the ball we'll out into right
field, Straus got under 1T, and then Joey
muffed it, but George just hit the ball
to Griffin and went out.
Slagel opened on DenZer in the third
for a two-base drive, just inside the
right foul line. Griffin hunted, and
Denzer refused to let it be a sacrifice,
throwing to third in plenty of time to
catch Slagel. Campau struck out, and
Straus popped light one to Holdings
worth.
Glasscock flew out to McKibben, and
Shugart to Twineham, while Preston
struck out. Glenalvin hit safely, but
McKibben this time struck out. Irvine
ham hit a grounder straight down the
diamond. Denzer stuck his hands down
and broke it's force. 1t got to Hollings-
worth in time for the latter to touch
Glenalvin with it, and then throw
Twineham out at first. That was the
last inning in which the visitors got a
man to first base.
Kline and Hollingsworth gave Griffin
catch and stop respectively, both
handled perfectly. Then Denzer came
to bat again, and after the usual diff
Guilty, at last landed on the ball, which
sailed high in the air and started for
left field. 1t finally fell just inside the
foul line and about forty yards back of
third base. Roger made two sacks on
the effort. Mcbride wanted to drive
him around, but before he could meet
the ball, it met him and he was walk
ed to the sack. Nyce could not do as
we'll this time as previously, and Slagel
caught his high fly.
Denzer struck out both Egan and
he -frily on ExaOrpa
was wide, perhaps, but at any rate, he
dropped his bat DenZer sent the next
one across before the round-faced boy
picked his stick up again. The third
one came across while Cross was too
Cross to hit the ball anyway, and the
foul fly.
Cross was still mad when he went
in to pitch but George hit the first ball.
and it went high and McKibben caught
it. Glasscock hit a vicious one right at
the little pitcher, who made hard trial
to stop it, but lost it. Then he got rat
tied more than ever, and in his anxiety
to recover the sphere he fell all over
himself. When he finally did get the
ball, it was too late to throw Glass
cock out, but George threw anyway
and the ball went wild to the right
field bleacher. Glasscock went on to
second. Still in state of great per-
with four unacceptable pitches, and
GlaSscock stole third. The veteran had
the base by a yard, but Egan made
heart-rending bluff about having his
man out, and that made Cross madden
than ever. Glasscock scored on Pres
tons sharp grounder to Griffin, and
that cooled Cross blood a little. for
another run meant tie score. He set
tied down on Kline, who merely popped
Griffin fly, and let it go at that.
Holly threw Griffin out, and DenZer did
the same for Straus. Preston made
fine running catch on Campau, taking
the ball out of Shugart's territory.
Hollingsworth sent a fly to McKibben,
but DenZer again surprised the base
ball world by repeating his two-base
hit of the fifth inning almost exactly,
except that the ball this time fol-
lowed the other foul line. 1t was still
good for two bases, however Mcbride
hit a grounder to Griffin, who picked
Denzer off with Egan's assistance. Nc
Bride tried to steal second and was
caught. Then there were six successive
flies: Glenalvin to Preston; McKibben
to Hollingsworth; Twineham to Nc
Bride; Nyce to Slagel; George to Glen
alvin, and Glassc0ck to McKibben.
For third time Denzer famed Egan
in the eighth, and Cross sent George d
fly. Slagel also failed to connect his
willow with the flying horsehide, and
the Apostles had one inning in which
to get one run or quit.
Shugart opened with hard hit, but
too high, and Stratus put out the first.
Preston hit one on the ground through
Glenalvin's patch, which, while it
looked like mere single, the big blonde
from the Hawkeye state stretched into
two bases with a desperation born of
just such a contingency 1t was Kline's /
turn at bat, but Parrot was sent in in
his place. "Tacks" had two strikes
called on him while he was waiting fol
Preston to steal third. Preston finally
went down safe, Egan dropping the
ball. Tacks third strike then resulted
in his being retired to the bench. 1t
was Hollingsworth's hour and minute,
but not one for great events. He poked
the ball down to Egan at third, and
the yellow fellow threw 1t in to Cam
pau's glove with certainty that would
have made a great difference even in
such a game as Wednesdays, but
which in yesterdays contest meant the
difference between life and death-to
the locals chances.
