In some pretty line drives
The change of positions didn't have
chance to show itself. Wheeler didn't
get chance at third, except to handle
the ball in the general mix-up of Hart
ford men. Bransfield made bad muf'
in right field. Yeager didn't catch as
well as Bransfeld has, but deserves
great credit for knowing what to do,
and doing it in the seventh when three
Hartford men were retired on the base
lines. He was the keystone of the play
ing arch and he fitted well.
The Hartfords played rafting good
game in the infeld Shindle and Gatins
made several unusually good plays.
Stuart did well until hit in the finger
by a bad bounding grounder. Socka-
lexis played poorly in left. Kilroy made
a muff in the ninth, for which the sun
striking his eyes is responsible.
Kuhns played a magnificent game for
Worcester. So did McQuaid, and Rick
ert made some star catches Altogether
it was one of the finest games that can
be played on the oval diamond.
Burns, as usual, was poor. He did
not roast" either team in particular,
but he was way off.
Hartford went first to bat and got
the lead luckily. Bransfield muffed a
fly from Kilroys bat. Shindle hit a
Grounder to Kuhns, which struck a
hump and bounded so high he couldn't
get it on the jump. Kilroy scored.
Worcester tied the score in the last OF
the third Frisbee hit the top of the
right field fence for three bases, ard
scored on Cars fly to McHale, making
the plate by running, which called fortG
great applause.
Hartford went ahead in the first OF
the fourth on Gatin's single, base on
balls and Urquhart'S double. Worcester
got back with a vengeance. Bransfield
hit few feet out and beat it. Rickert
sacrificed and Wheeler was hit by the
ball. Klobedanz hit far over the right
field fence, sending in three runs.
Hartford tied in the first of the fifth
McQuaid muffed a peculiar liner. Carr
failed to stop a grounder Sockalexis hit
and q base on balls filled the bases. A
wild pitch gave a run.
The tie was broken in a minute. Carr
smashed the ball nearly out to the shed
in center for three bases. Yeager scor-
ed him a hot drive to center. McQuaio

but threw fiercely and Yeager scored
McQuaid reaching third. He scored g
moment later on an out. Worcester
held Hartford back in the sixth and in
creased its lead to nine. Kuhns opened
with a drive past Stuart. Sockalexis
muffed Frisbie's fly. Carr got life or
Frisbie's out at second. Both scored or
a III to left by Yeager which fell safe
as SockaleXis was slow.
Hartford threw a scare into Worces'
ter in the seventh. In that inning
there two singles, base on balls and 9
double and only one run scored. Kelley
led off with a single. Sockalexis got an
other McHale got his base on balls
filing the bases. Gatins hit fly g
mile out. Frisbee went after it and the
runners Rugged their bases for it look
ed as if he wouldn't get it. He didn't
and it was fortunate for Worcester
that he didn't. He got it on the bound
and threw sharply in.
Kuhns went out to help the throw
and lined the ball home. Kelley scored
all right. Sockalexis and McHale
rounded third only a few feet apart
When the red man was half way home

McHale had to stop. Wheeler ran af-
ter him and threw to Yeager, putting
him out Gatins who had hit the ball
turned second and was half way tC
third when Yeager touched McHale out
Yeager shot the ball to McQuaid. He
ran Gatins down the line. The crowd
went wild.
