struck out, but Roats hit sent in two
and tied the score.
The fifth was short, only three on a
side batting. Parrott reached first on
Roat's tumble Shugart advanced him
one. Spies hit to Roat and went out
at first and Camel threw to Buckley
as Parrot tried to score on the play.
The visitors did not reach first at all.
Fricken waited Scott out, and Nc
Bride hit safely, before any one was out.
but the next three went UP and out
before any one scored.
Hatfield hit in the air and PARROT
was under it. Nyce made a pretty stop
on Buckley and then spoiled 1T by bad
throw that gave Scott a life. Slagle
met the ball fairly and 1t looked as
though the strangers would be in the
lead very shortly, but the pace was too
fast for Roat, who merely gave Nc
Bride high one, and those are easy
for him.
Glasscock polsed one through Camel
at a speedy clip and then tried to steal
second. He slid, but Roat reached for
him and ManasSau said that Jack was
out. Jack said he was not and de-
bate that promised to be long and elo-
quent on one side, was terminated by
Manassau rendering to Glascock the
information that the next time he
opened his head he would be put out
OF the game. Parrott hit a ral1ish fly
IN front of Slagle, and the ball bounded
badly for him giving Tacks second.
but the next two batsmen failed to
connect. Grand Rapids did not get the
ball out of the infield, Fricken getting
1t once and Nyce the two other oc-
casionS
Two Saints were out again when
Mullane hit safely and Buckley threw
him out on a trial for second. Camel
flew out to Glasscock on a foul. Hat
field hit to Shugart, who juggled the
ball few times and then realized that
it was everlastingly too late. Hatfield
then wanted to steal second, but every
time he would try Buckley would foul
the ball and Gil would have to go back.
Finally. however. he decided to get
there if he could, before Buckley got
chance at the ball, and Fricken, Shu-
sart and GlaSscOck pinned him in be-
tween the two bases. 1t was unfortu-
nate for the visitors, as Buckley then
Grove the ball out for two sacks of
sawdust, which would, no doubt. have
scored Hatfield. Scott hit a likely one
to Nyce, which bounded in the runway
between first and second and the side
was out.
There was just one inning to come
and the first run meant much Nyce
hit sharp one to Roat, who made
brilliant stop and threw his opponent
out at first. George tried to drive one
through Glenalvin but the guards pre-
vented this and George, too, was out
GlaSscock hit one between Hatfield and
Roat, the former playing in. Roat got
it in one hand, but In his recovery he
lost just the time necessary for the
veteran to reach first, and when Par
rott dropped one into right field a short
distance back Of the lines, 1t looked
much more hopeful for the Saints.
Shugart hit another hot one to Roat,
who finally reached 1t. In spite of the
fact that Shugart was near first then,
Roat threw, and he threw hurriedly
and high, the result being two runs for
the locals, while Shugart went to Sec
ond. Spies and F'rlcken kept up the
hitting making five singles in all and
driving in another run, Fricken being
caught between first and second, try
Ing to stretch his single into two bases
on Campau's throw to Hatfield.
Slagie gave George a fly, and Shu-
gart fielded Roat's ball handily.
Trouble brewed. however, when Camp
au hit high one and Glasscock, Nyce
and George finally went after it, The
other two finally left it to Nyce, and
he had it III his hands, but muffed it.
Glenalvin hit a hot one which bounded
over Nyce's shoulder, and home run
would have tied the score, but Get
finger was not equal to the emergency
and his grounder near second base
forced Glenalvin off into the cold, cold
world
