Oft is some times nice to have

could do 10 earn raise in salary, ne
couldn't have made better choice
4 than to nave hit out that three-bagser
I as he did in the ninth inning Of Satur-
G dav's game. Grubb had dragge d that

times before that and he had failed

u was a whole lot better. The feature

PLAYING and the sco@e was : TO | IN
favcr of the L1lmbermen.
p And then Mr. Lecompte deserves
some credit Also even if he did take
Lee Dawkin's place at second, Le-
Compte hit the hit that allowed Grubb
to score, an4 LeCompte showed by
that hit that he was ball player.
Instead of trying to knock the cover
Or the ball and thereby scoring
strike-out and losing the game, lie.
Compte met one just right, lifted 1t
cut to Pease, and Grubb beat the
throw in city block. When Le-
Compte walked to the plate, he looked
around and noticed this. The Mon
roe infielders were all playing away
in looking for bunt or an infield hit,
while the outfielders were chewing
their ouids OF tobacco and looking as

their direction. So, just for fun, the

had to run back to get the ball which
was just what he was wanted to do.
so Grubb had no difficulty in beating
hH poor throw to the plate. The
game was won then by Grubb and
LeCcmpte.
Now, Mr.. Maxwell was also in that
game, and he was in it all the way
through. Especially did Maxwell
shine when the Monroe players were
at the bat He passed only one
man to first and hit one man by ac-
cident. Maxwell had speed to burn
and a nice breaking curve which he
dN not use quite often enough.
Every time Maxwell put one cf those
ouick-breaking inshoots around the
opposing batters. they paved the air.
He was cool in the tight places and
played the game like an old timer.
There was another player in the
game in the person of 1ackleberry, a
