Things messed up for the poor Grays
yesterday, and altho they dipped. dug

visitors had battered the pot cover
down for keeps. with all the tallies
tucked in. The principal ingredients of
this mixture was the Standpatters'
ability to hit and the locals lack of it..
But there was a lot of luck stirred in 1t
for the visitors and none at all for the
Grays. This had something to do with
the bitter dose but the result might net
have been different. The locals fought
up hill all the way and the path was
strewn with boulders and cut by pit
falls into which they invariably fell.
The visitors had the best Of the hit
ting game and Schaub was 10 the good
on the pitching argument, yet when the
total of bases is counted up there ism
such great difference after ali. Schaun
was touched for nine bases in five hits
and Swain for eleven IN nine times. 1t
was the timeliness that counted. On
more than one occasion all that the
locals needed was q single To break the
string OF goose eggs. but 1t was NOT
Forthcoming.
The visitors broke out with one in the
first inning. Kennedy hit to Williams.

walked, and the paths were loaded.
Kennedy's hit over the infleld scored
Teel and Schaub. Brown touched off a

Kennedy TO third. While Warner and
Shook had Brown between them on the
path Kennedy made for home. beat the
throw-in but missed the base by two
feet. Swigert called it safe. The next
two went out thru the air.
The locals fielding wasn't so bad, but
they fell down in their hitting, and that
queered them. In the second Shook
picked one out for two bases, and with
only one gone it looked like scoring.
