Run of Oratory


Run of oratory
Mr.. Chavez of the Examiners ther
ntepped to the front and announced
That Mr.. Bennett of the Hamburgers
and Umpire Duprez would not play
hail at the same time calling atten-
zion to the fact that the Examiners
were ready and at all times willing to
play ball for the public" Chavez was
accorded a fitting tribute for his ora
tory and then retired to give Mr.. Ben
net a show.
Bennett apologized for Mr.. Chavez
"hot air." and told of the general spirit
of bravery which welled in the bosoms
of the Hamburger aggregation.
After the pretty compliments had
been exchanged and medals presented
for speechifying. the crowd again de-
manded that the game go on. Duprez
was determined, however, and the Key
stones and Hoegee Flags trotted out.
Duprez may have been right in running
according to schedule time, but never
theless the calling of ten-inning game
in the midst of a sunny afternoon, with
several hundred raving spectators urg-
ing their favorites on, rubs bit against
the grain.
The first game was a see-saw affair,
and when the Hamburgers were one to
the bad on the scoring line, with two
outs, along toward the last of the ninth
1t appeared another victory for the
league leaders. The sensational play
of the day and one that would do any
league proud came off in the tenth
when Simons of the Examiners saved
the game for his team by pulling down,
one-handed, Hartman's long drive
toward the center field fence. Sylvia
had Just walked to first and a score
appeared inevitable.
Pat Phillips pitched steady game,
though he was below form and allowed
the Hams to connect safely for eleven
safeties.
The Hamburgers started the run
getting in the second inning. Pfirmann
was safe when Moriarty juggled a
ground ball. Scofield ambled down on
four wide ones. Sylvia forced Pfirmann
at. third and Hartman flew to right.
Smith hit to center, scoring Scofield.
The Examiners tailed their first run
in the fourth after Bob Whaling had
singled to left. Moriarty bounced one
to Hartman, whose endeavor to nail
Whaling at second resulted in a wild
throw that sent Whaling home and
placed Moriarty on third The latter
tried to score on the hit and run propo-
sition, but was out when Simons failed
to connect with the ball.
Two more runs were tailed by the
Hamburgers in the fifth, when they
assumed the lead Smith drove one
past third and Nichols hunted safely.
Harris hit to Rubidoux, who threw
Smith out at the plate. Harris stole
second and Patrick walked. Ferline
hit TO Lamer. whose throw went
through Coldbath to the stand, Nichols
and Harris scoring.
The sixth was where the Examiners
ran into the lead by showing three
tallies across, only to have the Ham
burgers even matters in The seventh.
The eighth brought another one for
the Examiners, which to all intent was
10 prove the winning run. Moriarty
Shot safe one to center after. Whaling
mad flied out. He stole second and, as
Harris dropped the ball, continued to
third. arriving by hair after the sec
ond baseman had fumbled Simons flew
TO Pfrmann, back of first, and Mori-
arty came in, bowling over Sylvia, who
dropped the sphere.
'fie In Ninth
With Wolfor and Harris easy outs
In the ninth, Hamburger hopes We're
nearly blasted when Patrick came TO
the plate and banged a two-sacker TO
center. Pfrmann dropped a nice one
70 left and Patrick tore in with the
tielng score. Pandemonium reigned
and the umpire announced that an ex-
ira inning would be played. Neither
side was able to tally and then began
the cry for more Of the brand. Duprez
was boss, however, and said nav.
Inc heystones We're easy picking for
