Cellar got his bumps last Saturday
in the first inning. Two safe hits
and three runs by Stafford clinched
the game at the very start. Smith
famed, Cobb sent the ball towards
third, who failed to shut him off at
first. He reached second on sacrifice
by Reynolds. P. Collins followed
with a safe hit, and McClelland with
a safe one brought in Cobb and P.
Collins, and scored himself later.
Hurley sent one towards second, but
was caught at first. Mack was out at
first on a short one. In the fourth
inning McClelland started in with a
beautiful three base hit over the right
fielder's head, and later scored on an
error. The only run that Spencer
secured was in the fifth inning, when
Bradley reached first on an error and
went to second ON hit by Bird, who
was out at first. He reached home
ON a wild throw to third by P. Collins,
who mistook the coach of the Spencers
for the third baseman. Collins pitch
ed superb game, not allowing the
visitors a single hit. He received
good support, with the exception of
the fifth inning. After the first inn
ing Cellar pitched a fine game, but
was not we'll supported at critical
times. Mack was the only outfielder
of the Staffords that had any chances. |
He had six and easily secured them
all. McClelland, although his spiked |
hand was in bad shape, was in the |
game and played in his usual excellent
form. The score.:- =
