ed the employees of the allied gro
GERS in a lively base ball game at
Amusement Park yesterday afternoon,
eleven to three. Considering the per
sonnel of the two teams and the fact
that the losers never gave up and
played as hard the last inning as they
did the first, the game was full of
interest in spite of the lop-sided
score. In the combination team were
employees of the following firms:
Jaffa. Prayer & Co, Watson-Finley
Co.. Forstad & johnson, Shepherd
& Co., and the Spring River Grocery.
The result of the game shows that
men who are associated with each
other and thus understand each other
better. can work to greater advantage
on the base ball diamond the same
as elsewhere, than a bunch of men
who are gathered from various
sources and are not familiar with
each others moods and tempera-
ments. And then the Joyce-Pruit out
fit played better ball. They played
with fewer errors and batted harder
than did their opponents. All these
things counted in making an easy
victory for the one-store team.
The allied forces scored one in the
first and two in the last, which indi-
Gates that they played as hard to the
close as in the opening of the game.
The rest of it was a shut-out for
them Joyce-Pruit scored five in the
first, four of them after three outs
should have been made, and in ones
and twos through at intervals the
rest of the game.
The individual playing came out
stronger on the winning side, natu-
rally. than the other. The losers made
a nice double play, however, in the
third inning, George Williams. pitch
er. to J. Williams at first to Hill at
home; and Schwartz at short and
Mando, on third, played in fine form.
although each had at least one er-
TOR. George Williams pitched for the
losers and his worst habit was throw
ing to center field in trying to catch
runners at second. He allowed twelve
hits and passed two while striking
out eight.
Almost the whole Joyce-Pruit team
showed up well. They had a double
play. Hall, short, to Lynch. first, in
the eighth. They played with but four
errors, three of them by Burns and
Bemis, who were two of the best men
on the team, nevertheless. Burns
caught a fine game and threw bases
well, as did Hill, the catcher On the
other side
Pruit, pitching for the winners. re-
peated his great record made in the
Elk-Old-Timer game recently. He
struck out thirteen, passed three. hit
two and allowed seven hits that were
scattered through five innings.
Only two put-outs were made in
the out-field, both il left, one on
each side. by Winston and c. Harris.
Ernest Burns and Jesus Trujillo led
the batters with three hits each.
Pruit, Lynch. Mando and Winston
each had two. Burns. Pruit and Be-
mis- each had a two-bagger. but Hen
ry Schwartz got the prettiest hit OF
the game when he drove the ball
hundred feet across the fence. His
bad luck was that it went toward
the two-base fence
