That was what the official score
showed after four hours of baseball
last Saturday-baseball that run the
whole gamut Of the game from whirl.
wind to listless. from brilliant to abso-
lutely raw, and finally ended Just in
time for the fans to hurry home to
dinner with plenty Of things to talk
about. The Elks beat the Puns handi-
ly In fairly fast game, and the Rams
and Reds struggled along for nine in
nings of loose playing, got into extra
sessions because each side seemed an
xious not to win, and finally Captain
Lemons men cinched the game In the
twelfth, G to s. and on an error at
that!
The Elks won because Hampton held
the Puns down to four hits, and be-
cause Richardson's proteges had no
trouble in locating the benders Eddie
Desha served up for their delectation.
They fell onto the tall Pun like little
niggers in a pie-eating contest, and
hammered him hither and yon until
the Pun fielders had blisters galore
from chasing the Elks' batting aver
age. All told, they gathered eleven
safe ones. Grady led with three hits
out of four times at bat. Bob White
got a single and double out Of four
times up, Wilder did the same, and so
did Hampton. Meanwhile the Elks
were giving their pitcher good support.
Seventeen assists in nine.inning
game with only two errors Is going
some. Hampton got nine assists with
out an error, which Is mighty fast
work.
The Puns erred four times, two of
which were on high flies that the wind
toyed with In the outfield. The only
bright spots for the Puns last Satur-
day were Ahrens' home run and fast
double play. Ahrens got his long hit
In the sixth inning. He laced one over
center and went all the way around,
coming in breathless and much admir-
ed by the grandstand. q. Judd start
ed the double play. Cogswell hit safe.
Vanatta sent a grounder to Judd, who
touched Cogswell out and shot the ball
to Woods ahead OF Vanatta. The Elks
pulled of two double plays. In the
second with Stiles on third and one
man out, l.. Judd hit to Hampton, who
threw Stiles out at the plate and Grady
caught Judd at first II was a heady
play and typical Of the kind Of ball the
Elks are playing thisyear In the
fourth Vanatta caught Stiles's drive
and also caught Woods before he could
get to third on what looked like a safe
hit.
The Elks started the scoring In the
second inning. with two men down Kia
walked, Bob White doubled to left
field, Grady hit safe, scoring Kia and
White. In the fourth Wilder hit safe,
Kia reached first on Meyers wild
throw Of his grounder, and White again
got a safe one. Grady got first by
forcing White, but two runs had been
scored. In the next inning Hampton
got a pass Cogswell hit safely to CEN
ter, and moment later Wilder dou-
bled, scoring Hampton. Just to cinch
the game, the Elks got two in the
ninth on Grady's and Moore's hits,
the latter double, and Hampton's sin
gle after Evers had flied out to center.
The Puns scored an earned run when
Dick Ahrens hit for the circuit They
scored again In the seventh. Stiles led
off with a safety, but was caught try
Ing to get home. A moment later G.
Desha was hurt by colliding with Cogs-
we'll and Stiles had his ambitions gra.
titled by running for thu left fielder.
He went to third on Meyers hlt and
scored on Wilder's wild return to first.
There was no hope for the Puns,
though, for Hampton kept winding
away In an utterly unhittable fashion,
and WoOds's youngsters never even
looked dangerous.
The summary:
PUNAHOUS.
