FARMERS and DrummerS. The first
game was TO in favor OF union-
town. after ten innings had been
fought, The second argument was
one-sided but hardly no one left the
grounds because every one wanted to
see Big Bob knock the ball over the
coal tippIe. and therefore. stayed
awhile. The out come OF the game
was II times for Ciarksburg to o
times for the Farmers.
Farmers Hit.
In the first game there was every
essential that makes the game so pop
ular. There were errors, some
costly. head-work and bone-headed-
ness with some hitting of tho ball
also. The Farmers, though. con-
nected or did most OF the hitting of
the first game. The Drummers did
their hitting in the second.
When the Jumps" called the first
game at 2:f5, Mccormick, who as
sailed to pitch the day before went
to the mound for the Drummers ana
for the Farmers out came that Kru-
ger boy, who pitched the abbreviated
game for the Farmers the day be-
fore.
Rudolph Drops Fly
In the first inning the Drummers
scored the first run of the game. f.
Dawson breezed, but when Phillips
muffed J. Dawspn's fly. Johnny was
safe on second. Clark was out, Gill
ligan to Price. then Big Bob came
along with fly to left that Rudolph
dropped and Johnny scored from
third on the error. Crib flew to the
first sacker.
The third inning brought another
run for the Drummers. With two
down Big Bob came up and after
missing one and having one called on
him. he smote the ball over the
right field fence and gladly galloped
home and also remembered that this
was off of Mr.. Kruger, that famous
pitcher.
Game is Tied
In the fifth the Farmers looked as
though they were going to break up
the ball game but when the smoke
cleared away 1t was found that the
game was only tied. Price doubled
to left and when Cowan tapped to
McAvoy, he threw to catch Price be-
tween third and second. with the re-
suit that Price was soaked IN the
back with the ball and all were safe
and no one was out. Krugcr's fly
TO Clark let Price go to third but
Cowan was held on first. Rudolph
singled to center scoring Price.
Cowan stole third. McAvoy making
no attempt to cover the bag for
McAleese's throw. which could have
nabbed him. Hilley struck out. On
the next pitched ball, Rudolph stole
second and Cowan scored. as Nc
Aleese dropped the ball, which had
him nailed mile. There were two
out befor the play. GinIgan out, Nc
cormick TO Conoway.
Lead RcgaIned
The Drummers regained the lead in
the eighth inning. Cowan fumbled
f. Dawson's tap and Fred was safe.
Johnny few out to short and with
Clark at the bat Fred stole second.
Now arose an argument between Kru-
ger and the Jumps" Kruger argued
that Clark struck at the ball and the
Jumps" said 1t was a ball. Argu-
ment waxed warmer. No damage was
done and when the smoke cleared
away Kruger was safely sitting on
the bench along side OF Mr., Gllllgan,
who had been fired also for taking a
too stsenous part In the argument.
Play resumed and Clark doubled to
left along the third base line and
Fred scored. Conoway and Gribben
were infleld outs this time.
Tied in Ninth.
In the ninth Uniontown tied the
score. Redman singled to center
and was sacrificed to third by Price.
Big Bob nailed the ball TO third after
retiring Price but McGInty mufred the
throw and Redman was safe. He
scored n moment later when Cowan
singled to right
The ten found the Drummers lack
ing and nothing but one bad play
happened. First two out and Johnny
Dawson hit by ball and was sent TO
second before the pitcher started to
deliver the ball to the batter. Re
suit. Johnny nailed out and Clark left
standing at the bat.
The Farmers made the winning
run in this inning and this is how II
was done: HIlley flew to Cy Dawson

scored on Phillips single to center
Next two batters fled out.

bases. enough to win several games
LimrIc was sent in TO work for the
Farmers and Big Fletcher did the
heavy work in good style for the
Drummers, Gilllgan was back in the
game at second for the Farmers and
