only Angels who could find G. Hall
for hit yesterday and the result was
disastrous to the Seraphic band. The
game resolved itself into a pitchers
| battle, with the locals backing UP w.
Hall in miserable style. At that, the
| Siwashes got a less number of hits than
did the Morleyites but the Sunday hoo
doc settled down over the home camp
like a pail of death and refused to
be shaken off.
Bernard clouted the ball every time
he went to bat and Tvs average for the
day was perfect, with 1000 as his per-
centage. But his teammates refused
to lend aid when he was on bases and
either punctured the ozone or popped
easy ones to the Indian field which We're
almost faultlessly handled, and seven
prospective scores died in embryo.
One of the best crowds of the season
witnessed the game and rooted hard
for Morley's team, but to no avail
The harder and lustier they yelled the
rottener the boys played, and finally,
when twas seen that nothing short of
an invisible derrick of fate would turn
the tide of battle, the loyal fan closed
his face and ceased his vocal battle
against the grim monster of Voodooism
which had determined that the future
were doomed to their third defeat in
two weeks.
The Hall family were Johnny at the
rat hole on both aggregations yester-
day. The only trouble was that the
Seattle bunch had two Halls to the
locals one.
The Fatal Seventh
The seventh cycle witnessed the
downfall of the local tribe. 1t was
then that Lauterborn came to bat after
Croll had obligingly retired and Laut
nearly scared Jud Smith out of his next
months salary with a hot shot past
him.
Kitty Brash nailed it, however, after
making several Intellectual right and
left leads that missed, and he was
in such an excited frame of mind that
he threw it at the evening star which
was just rising.
Brash knew there was star at first.
but he failed to calculate on it's height
Therefore, Dillon was obliged to hur-
riedly balloon for it, and the handsome
captain will have to sit under a pile
driver for several days before his YER
tebrae is driven sufficiently close
enough together to re-establish COM
munication between his soX and his
jaunty cap.
Dillon made good on the elasticity
test, Perrine, the fellow who calls balls
and strikes and occasionally fails TO
glue his lamps on the psychological
point at the psychological moment
failed to note the spectacular proceed
ing with sufficient accuracy to render
a decision based upon justice and
equity, and nominated Mr.. Lauterborn
as candidate for scoring by allowing
him to squat at the keystone.
The fans refused to approve of this
piratical decree and expressed their
indignation, chagrin and contempt in
various loud and distinct manners, to
the fracture of Perrine's peace and dig
nifty.
The Hall Family
The Hall family made an excursion
to the exact location where the rule
book says the umpire shall keep open
mouse during the progress of hostile
proceedings, and eXpostulations pro and
con were heard, but when Smith,
Dillon and Blood attempted to inter
Ject an eye opener and make sug-
gestions regarding the obvious reasons
for a reversal of the official mandate
regarding the adverse possession OF
Mr.. Lauterborn to the eminent domain
on which he had squatted, Judge Per-
rine took occasion to remark that Doc
Smith was one more than was neces-
sary in the vicinity of the game and,
Gespite MS eXpoStulations and attemnt
at taking change of venue, he was
ordered to hurry away from the official
presence and thereafter during the
game Perrine refused to take judicial
notice of Docs existence in the land
of the living and animate.
After peace had been restored. Mid
dleton went to third and Immediately
annexed small COB of fame by
momentarily clasping Ia foul issued
by Mr.. Russ Hall.
With two outs and Lauterborn very
much alive in a dangerous position
near second, Bennett ambled to the
pan, selected a wagon tongue ard
struck at the first one thrown in. 1t
aired for several feet and after de-
scribing an artistic arc amid the blue
ness of the atmosphere, nestled snugly
In the blue grass between the ranches
of Messrs. Flood and Cravath, neither
of whom was able to ferret out the
spheroid's exact location before the
time limit expired and Mr.. Lauterborn
about whom all the fuss had occurred
few moments before, relieved the ten
sion by advancing to the home altar
and giving the sign, after which his
round trip had been duly recorded in
the run column and the game should
have been stopped right there, as it
afterwards developed that Laut had
won the game by his marvellous speed |
ing around the sacks.
Subsequent efforts by the Angelic
horde availed nothing, The expected
rally failed to come. The ninth inning
resuscitation for which Morleys crew
have become famous was also lacking
in appearance and the nothing doing"
sign was stuck up when the first Angel
came to bat in that inning
Thus endeth the hesitation of the
band of Siwash in this pueblo for this
trip. They go north today and tomor-
row the web-footed fellows will open
an engagement with the locals. Moth
ing from upstate has so far shown
itself with sufficient ability to more
than momentarily halt the locals
climb of the greasy pole and the flag
looks just as good and as near this
morning as it did before yesterdays
game.
The official report of the massacre
is found in the following tabulated
