A heavy rainstorm In the sixth in
ming stopped the ball game between the
South Ends and Kents mt Buchtel field
Saturday and saved the Kents from n
bad defeat. At tllis time the South
Ends had made four scattering hits off
Potts and scored two runs, while the
Kents had scored only seven runs and
found Fox for eight hits, with n total
of IA bases. A trifle of five runs was
not considered, however, and If the
game had gone the limit the South
Ends would probably have made one
more hit and perhaps another run
Notwithstanding the threatening
weather about 400 fans went out to
see the last of series of three games
between these two teams and were
not badly disappointed when Kent ran
away with the game in the third in
ming One Mr.. Fox undertook to pilot
the South Ends to victory and what
the Kents did to his pitching would
make a long story. 1t is learned that
Fox was formerly baseman but his
arm gave out so he took up pitching.
The Kents got to" his curves quicker
than a man with the big head can
get to the push button the next morn
ing and about as often. They slammed
the hall to all corners for eight hits
with q total of IA bases and these
with four bases ON balls and "a hit
batsman prevented the South Ends
from having a chance. Fox, in addi-
tion to being pitcher is a good fellow
and had no idea that the Kents would
take anything that did not belong to
them. Accordingly he did not watch
them closely and they stole bases
in clever style while he was not look
ing. The game was rather slow after
the second inning and except for the
justified kicks of the Kents on the
umpires work, would have been very
listless. Danny Potts the left hand
wonder, who has not received his ad.
vance money from Dayton as yet ow-
Ing to scarcity of cars, was on the
rubber for the Kents and showed u
reversal of form over his last perform
ance here. He had plenty of speed
and used a double swing when deliver
ing the ball, whereas he used only ,
single swing the last time he pitche,
here. The South Ends could do but lit
tie with his delivery and he strucl
out six men IN the six innings. IN,
features of the game were Stevens an,
Hunts hitting. Each had battn,
average OF 1000 and Stevens made fou
hits out OF as many times at bat. Hun
had two three baggers to his credit
although slow fielding was responsible
In both cases for an extra base. Hun
is credited with three runs while h
had but two times bat. This is ,
rare occurrence and is made possible
by the fact that he scored after beIn,
hit by the pitcher, which does not shoy
him at bat In the score.
The South Ends got OFF in front IN,
scored one In the first on MOTIFS m
two bagger and Stevens error. .,r,
got another In the 9th ON Malone
TWO bagger and Shanks' Texas league
which j. Denning made a desperat
effort but missed by hair. Kent
scored two In the second on hits h
Hunt and Potts an base on balls an
four In the third on Stevens doubl,
Hunts triple and some shaky deldin
by the South Ends. Score:
