SANTA cLARAs, 7; PUNAHous, 3


Bert Bower came back yesterday,
and it must have done his heart good
when Jack Doyle stood up and led
three real rousing cheers for him as
he walked out on the field. There
were not enough fans to make very
much noise, but they made up in viii
lingness what the cheers lacked in vol
ume. and that little ovation told Bert
more plainly than a column of hot air
that the fans have been talking him
over and come to the conclusion that
he is the simon pure article when it
comes to umpiring.
The band came nearly getting off to
a false start at the beginning. The
trombone was on first base and tried
to steal second when the drum came in
with foul tip and the, umpire ordered
the trombone back. 1t looked as
though the team would go to pieces for
a short time, but they settled down to
steady work and played good team
work from then on, although the
French horn was nearly caught nap
ping off third base.
he other feature of the afternoon
was the conversion of the diamond into
an aerodome in the seventh, when
somebody cut the ropes of the big fly
ing machine and it didn come down
till the Santa Claras had gailv romped
round the field seven times.
Johnny Williams twirled for the Pn-
nahous and he certainly pitched one
grand game. For six innings the Wis
itors could not find a weak spot any
where, and the other side had made
two tallies. so it looked as though
there might be some whitewashing
when the Santas went in to bat in the
second half of the seventh.
The Lucky Seventh.
esThe lucky SEVENTH said McKen-
zie as Peters stepped to the bat; !
ssmake it seven in the seventh and |
they did It started, as these things |
very often do, with an error near sec
ond base Peters singled, then Ken |
nedy came up and sent a twister down
by Hampton. 1t was an awkward ball, |
as it had a screw on it, but Hampton
was locked one for missing it, and
Kennedy went to first, while Peters
stayed on second.
Then big Byrnes came up and swat ,
ted a bingle that sent Peters home and
Kennedy to third. The ball went to |
the plate, is it should have done, but /
it was a trifie late and gave Byrnes
time to reach second. Then Lyman /
made bad one Broderick hunted a !
slow one and ran like mad for first. |
LYMAN went to sleep and forgot to |
throw. When he did, he threw way
over Marcallino IS head and the ball |
went burrowing under the benches by
the gate. While Warren was grubbing
for the ball, Kennedy and Byrnes ran
In, and Frederick just managed to beat
the ball TO the home plate. Four runs
and nobody out.
Johnny Williams was standing the
strain mighty well and never ratified
worth q cent. but the Santa Clara boys
had found him. and Merv Shafer was
the next man to bingle. Then Hamp-
ton had more hard luck. Officially II
was an error, but it might have been
hit for Kilburn. Anyway, the latter
reached first and Merv went to second.
Then Lyman gave away some more
easy money and Merv. went IN, kllburn
went to third and Freine reached see
ond on his error. Pluckily as John had
been standing the strain, he began TO
show it and walked Lappin. About
this time Kilburn thought he saw
chance to steal home, but he was
caught in the act, and learned about
leaving other peoples belongings alone
when they are looking.
Nerv Shafer took Freine s place at
second and stole third. while Lappin
followed his example and went to Sec
ond. Art Shafer saw a chance for i
neat sacrifice, and while they were
getting him out at first, Merry and Lap
pin romped. That made seven runs,
and was about enough for one inning,
so Peters skied and Williams took
well-earned rest.
Slap Bang Game.
1t was evident from the start that
the game going to be one of the
slap.bang kind, full of vim and go, and
with the exception of the seventh in
ming it was great baseball. Freine
showed that he felt just right from
the start, although he did comparative
" little tanning. When Williams stood :
mp in the box he sized up well and
he started to twirl in way that had Z
the visitors guessing. In fact, they
actually did not reach second until the
fourth inning.
The Puns took their first in the see
ond. Williams singled and went to
second when Bruins was out at first,
but he went back to the bench trying
to steal third Narcallino singled and
went to second when Warren was SAFE
Mt first. Then Henderson hunted to
center. Lappin fumbled and Marcallino
went in Then Lyman popped and the
side was out.
There was a very pretty double play
in the third. Art Shafer made an error
that sent Burns To first. Then Hamp- !,
ton came up and sent one with hot
bounce ont near Art. who was there to
redeem himself He caught the ball,
Jumped to second in time to put Burns
out. and then sent TO Broderick IN time !

The Puns' other run was scored IN !
the seventh Bruins went to second on !
Art Skaters error, then to third on !,
