the season by pounding out A to

day. They won by hitting Thompson
consiste ntly in the pinches, while JAS
per couldn't locate Mitchell when hits
meant runs.
Opolis virtually cinched the game in
the third, when three clean drives
coupled with two passes resulted in
three runs. The Sox came back 10
their half with one run, but couldn u
overtake their opponents, who made it
safe by adding one in the fifth.
Opolis deserved to win the game and
wor it. They had twice the pepper of
the local lads, who played spiritless
game behind Thompson. Burkett was
not in the lineup, Hicks coming in
from the field to play third and Dodd
played in outfield.
Withal, the game was a good one from
the standpoint Of the spectators, who
never ceased roofing for the SoX until
the last man wan was out in the ninth.
The Sox started feeble rally in this
inning, when with two out Crawford
walked aud Hicks bit safely to right,
each runner advancing a bag on the
throwin. EnsDinger then had passed
ball and Crawford started 10. but there
being 90 coacher on the line. was un-
decided aud turned to go back, then
again changed his mind and started 10,
but Ensninger had recovered the ball
and tagged him out.
This game was the fourth lost this
season by the Sox out of twenty. three
played. They defeated every good
team in the southwest at least once,
making their poorest showing agaiost
Sarcoxie and Opolis, with whom they
broke even. They were shut out once
and on five occasions handed the kalso.
mine to their opponents. Wolf led the
hit:ers for the season, with an average
OF 1923, the average being compiled from
