Standing OF the CLUBS
Does It

The only Fisher put his best twirler
on the mound yesterday afternoon, and
this. combined with the fact that Hard
Luck Baum operated the manufacture
ing end of the Seraphic battery, ac-
counts for the Royal Bengals getting
away with the sixth game of the series.
Thomas slipped over the benders for
the gentlemen of the north, and when
It came to tyeing up the Angels when
they threatened to do damage he was
right there with nice assortment of
mystifying productions that proved de-
cidedIy hard to interpret with material
results.
The Seraphs started right off and fiat
tered their hackers in the first inning.
Bernard opened with poke to left
and Flood expired via the DoyleNor-
dyke route. This put Bernie on the
second pillow and when Smith came
along with neat sacrifice Curtis was
urged along to the last cushion.
Angels Score in First
Brashear was sent to the first angle
gratis. and when he attempted to con-
meet with the next patch Thomas un-
wrapped the most odorous exhibition of
baseball strategy that has been pulled
off in this township for several CEN
turies. The glass eye lad passed the
ball to Thomas and the man on the
mound thought he perceived a most
promising opportunity to nip Benedict
Brashear's aspirations in the bud. So
he soaked the ball at the gent on second
sack, while Bernard cut gleefully over
the rubber. Brash was safe, Charley
Doyle dropping the ball, and there was
great wrath in the Tiger camp.
The Firberites failed to get their
fourth, when they brought two of their
compatriots over the final patch on a
lucky combination of baseball circum-
stance Charley Doyle began things by
tearing off a double to the port pasture
and Tommy Sheehan ripped off
weaser TO Toman and cut out for the
first angle. Toman passed the sphere
miles over Brashear's reach and Tommy
went along to second. Doyle wanted
the rubber awfully badly but was just
too skeered to try it.
"Fawncy" Nordyke then padded up
to the plate and countered on one of Mr..
Baum's artistic productions for clean
double to left, Sheehan and Doyle find
ing plenty of time to complete their
amble and presented Fisher with lead
of one in the sprint for the stakes.
Double Spoils 1t
The Seraphs took the most encourag-
ing liberties with the slants of Thomas
in the third period and it looked as if
the Morleyites would win in romp.
Baum swished a safe bingle back of
second and Bernard come through with
a clean double to left. Flood unwrap-
ped a bunt with no one ready to handle
it. Three men on the bags with none
down.
Smiths critical taste was finally sat
isfied and he ripped one to Thomas.
Bernard cut for the pan but Hogan
was there with the ball to say howdy
and then Happy handed the sphere to
Nordyke, Smith also being sent to the
bench. The dinked double spoiled
everything and "Kitty" Brashear was
SO disheartened that he just put down
an infield poke that was never good for
anything. The Tigers brought another
around in the eighth. Graham coun-
tered on the horsehide for clean sim
gle through Smith. Toman tried to
place a sacrifice but put the ball right
into Baum's nit Thomas went back
to the bench on a bingle to Smith.
Charley Doyle then soused out the
sphere to left and Graham completed
his journey around the sacks.
Last for Tacoma
In the ninth the men from Tacoma
town brought their fourth and last
circuit completer around. Baum passed
up four bad ones to Nordyke but came
right back and caused the mighty
Truck" Eagan TO take three futile
swipes at the sphere.
But Bones" couldn't maintain this
clip and was wild enough to also pres
ent Mclaughlin with a place on the
first angle. The confident big lad
yclept Lynch uncorked a slam to Smith
and Nordyke was forced out of the
running at Jud's angle.
The second half Of the final period
also produced a completed amble for
the Seraphs The ball connected with
Smiths anatomy and on Thomas wild
pitch he went down to second. Brash-
ear ripped off single to left-the bali
got through Mclaughlin and Smith
dented the hubber and Brashear estab-
lished a connection with the third
patch. Cravath was given transporta-
tion but Ross couldn't find the ball.
Dillon manipulating the stick for To-
man flew to right and Seraphic stock
began to drop Spies ended it all by
popping up a hard foul which Happy
Hogan basketed after a sprint to the
