famed both Davis and Hampton in
quick succession. then En- Sue shied 10
Fife and the sailors came up to make
a better showing.
Smith singled and stole second very
prettilv then took third on Leslie
error. Stocks sacrificed and Smith ran
in. Fife and Perry both missed first
base and the score stood 3 to l for
the locals.
In the third Burns was on second
and Eddie Fernandez on third when
Barney came up and tried to do some
clever sacrificing, but there was hltch
somewhere. for he was out at third
without a chance for Eddie to run.
Vannatta came to bat and then the
sailors did a very clever piece OF field
ing. Perry at third base to Tighe at
second base to catcher Fort and both
Burns and Eddie were out. This one
plav showed what class there IS latent
in the sailor team and. if they played
like that all the time. they would be
world heaters.
The sailors had two runs to make
in order to tie the score and these were
tailed in the fifth. 1t was great
inning and brought the spectators to
their feet in a storm of cheers while
he sailors, crowded in front of the
first base bleachers, danced around in
giee shouting for all they were worth.
Perry famed but Fort reached sec.
ond on bad error by yannatta. Then
Leslie slipped a cog and walked Me.
Herman That wheel took whole turn
and missed another spoke when Leslie
in
started the cheering but it was moth
ing compared to the delirium of noise
when Tighe hunted slowly along the
first base line and both Leslie and Da-
Wis made a dash for the bali. There
was beautiful collision while MeKer-
nan ran nimbiy home and reached the
plate without having to slide. This
tied the score and things began to look
good for the sailors.
There was nothing doing until the
eighth of particular interest except for
the unfortunate accidents to Fort and
Davis. When Seegar slid over the
plate and Barney dropped the ball, the
sailors went wild, but this was follow
ed by a sudden silence when Albright
called Seegar out. There was no muir
muring, however, and absolute defer
enee to the umpire s decision was
shown by all the boys from the Mil
waukee.
In the ninth it looked as though the
sea-dogs would score, for Stocks hit
a two Dagger after Smith had skied to
Bruins. But Fite was ont on a slow
bunt and Perry famed. Neither side
could score in the tenth and it was
getting very late, so the locals came
in. to bat with the determination to
finish the game.
They did. q
Hampton famed, but En- Sue singled
and stole second Then Stocks made
an error that put Eddie Fernandez safe
on first. Up comes Burns with thf
danger signal out and there was swift
trouble for, before you could say Abra-
cadabra, En- Sue and Fernandez were
home, Burns was at third and the sail
ors wondered who had rammed them.
Then it was that the great Barney
walked to the plate with strong deter
mination rolling off him. He stood
aside contemptuously for the first de-
livery but, when the ball left Seegar g
hand the second time, he went to meet
1T and the ball stopped when it hit the
farthest part of the center field fence.
Barney went round the diamond like
runaway locomotive and nearly over
took Burns who was taking it easy.
Vannatta batted next and strained his
leg stealing second so Hampton ran
for him. His job was no sinecure for
he saw a chance 80 make third and
scored on Hampton 8 safety That
made FIVE runs and the sailors were
unable TO make even a hit so the game
ended with score of s to 3.
The score by innings was:
