after Balliett when Zeb Kendall hove

Titus attempted to steal home, but
he had fingered too long at third.
Davy Crockett famed.
Sixth inning-Doc Smith hit to left
field, stole second, crept to third and
rolled home. Charlie Cameron was
next. Now the trouble with Charlie
was that he kept his eyes on third
instead of on the ball and the result
was he famed. But Charlie didn't
care. He got to third anyway. Char
lie Kielhofer was too busy to come to
bat, SO Tommy Kelly, one of the
Eagle tsubstitoots," got busy. He
wasn't used to bats and famed out
Dave Holland was next. He hit the
ball--like Kelly did.
Just as Agnew started to strike
at the ball some cruel-hearted friend
yelled .Swat it. Slivers,' and for a
wonder "Aggie" hit it. But it was

for the inning to come. to an end. He
wanted to. get back to third. So he

and wobbled down to first, stumbled
at second, fell at third and was car

he couldn't do it. By this time the

didn't feet like running, so struck
out.
Eighth inning Charlie Cameron,
again with his eye on third base,
struck out. Kelly went out on a fly
to Erbs. Dave Holland was next,
but couldn't be found until Beckley
discovered him back of the grand
stand trying to pin up hole in his
stocking. He was finally fixed up,
with the aid of the Red Cross. Dave
is awfully modest. And he was wor-
ried. He had borrowed those pretty
stockings and they had to be return
ed. Now everybody knows that you
can't bat when you are worried. So
Dave struck out,
Douglas was put out at first. And
then Ed Malley got mad and hit
Erbs. That is what the umpire
thought, but Puddy's eyes were get
ting tired, for it is a strenuous task
to watch the ball and third base al
the same time. Billy Douglas was
coaching Erbs from third base and
when Tom Kendall came to the bat
Billy held up three fingers. That
meant that there was only three gal
Ions of beer left. Tom wasn't goine
to get left SO struck out and went
over to investigate. Mushett got q
two-bagger and stole third. Talked
awhile with Tom and Billy and rolled
home. Mullen did the same, only he
stayed at third longer. Herring, who
had taken Patsy Nathan's place
reached first, but fell asleep there
and was put out.

for the Elks. Ballet went out al
first. Malley famed and Haywood
