sides being outbat,ed, as usual
the Champs were outlucked at Viii.
lis park Sunday in clash with
Marion but in the tenth inning by
one Of the prettiest finishes Of the
year the fray was pulled from over
the Goals, the Champs winning
to /.
Curley Blount batted Cap. Starr
across the plate with the run that
won. Cap opened the tenth by
drawing four bad ones. He stole
second and third. Curley banged
out single between Tommy Mylett
and Tim Flood. As nifty climax
hasn't been seen here for many
day. Young Mr.. Burk, the young
ster for whom Walter East offered
Dick Nalin, George Mathay and
Ed. Kusel, couldn't atop at the
three-ball limit. Two of his wide
ones were temptingly close but they
didn't fool Starr. Caps base run
ming was a marvellous piece of busi-
ness. He crossed The Marion bat
terry on both steals, dashing for see
ond and third when he was expect
ed to stay where he was. Blount's
hit was the right thing at the right
time.
Not only was luck arrayed on the
Marion side but so was Homer
Drake. President Morton's latest
addition to the umpire staff. With
either Luck or Mr.. Drake eliminated
the Champs would have plucked the
game before the ninth Wild throws
gave each side flying start, ,Youngs-
town scoring twice in the first on o
heave that was intended to go to
second but which went 20 center
field. Burk made the bad peg. He
threw to head off Cap Starr after
Blount had laid the ball down to
move Cap to second. A good throw
would have extinguished Starr.
Cap and Curley scored on the mis-
play.
Matters were evened up in the
second, Marion registering twice on
a base on balls, two singles and a
wild throw by Starr. The runs were
made on the throw. The bases were
packed with Lime Burners when
the wild heave came. Burk forced
Luskey at second, Breen TO Cap. In
attempting to complete a fast dou-
BILE play Cap threw wide Of first.
Flood and Quinn registered.
Another wild and woody heave,
Tim Flood offending this time, again
put the Champs to the good by the
two runs in the third. Breen open
ed with single. Jude bunted TO
Flood and would have beaten out a
perfect throw. Tim threw away
wide of Jake Daubert however.
and "Little Chief" touched the
plate before the ball was winged
back. Jude showed fine speed on
the paths and ended by a perfect
slide, Just beating the ball to the
rubber. Luck.
A run in each the seventh and
eighth again brought the Drumm s
aggregation abreast. Luskey open
ed the seventh by clean single
to Will Thomas, but a bad bound
made carried the ball ont Of range
OF Fielder Bill and to the fence, al
lowing two more bases. More luck
scored Luskey. Burk hit slow
one toward third. McClintock wait
ed for it to roll foul which II looked
due to do, but it didn't and Luskey
was home and Burk on first. Burk
got no farther. A drive through
short that scraped Dick Breen's
finger tips gave the visitors their
tielng run for the second time.
Blake opened the eighth with
single Farrell's drive went to cen
ter and bounding badly hit Blount's
foot. 1t caromed off and rolled and
rolled. Little" Chief Jude over
took 1t and hard run and fine
throw by the little Indian kept il
from being home run. Tim Flood
