Abilene gave Beloit another sew
ere trouncing yesterday afternoon
when she shut out the visitors for
the second time by the score of to o..
1t was a great game full Of grand
stand and hair raising plays. The
locals by far out hit the BeIoit
braves getting IL pretty singles to
Beloit's s.
Abilene started its rambling
around the diamond in the second
inning. "Muggsy" Monroe grounded
a safe one between second and first.
Ward hunted advancing Monroe
to second and by an error on the
third baseman reached first safely.
Ehrgott hunted safe to first advanc-
ing Monroe and Ward. Bechtold,
seeking yengence, slapped that
minute sperical horsehide square at
the pitcher and umpire who narrow
ly escaped being punctured on
this occasion. The ball travelling
with great velocity did not stop until
1t reached the centerfielder's paws
where It gave first class exhibition
OF the buck and wing dance detain-
ing the throw from center to home
until Monroe and Ward each had
safely planted q score on the count
ing pan. Ehrgott was caught off be-
tween second and third. Britton
flew out and williams made a line
drive to the catcher retiring the side
with two scores. ~
Beloit then came to bat and 1t
looked as though there would be
something doing on the score board
as the visitors had the bases choked
but williams excellent pitching pull
ed Abilene out Of the terrible crevice
as he did in the first when the bases
we're full.
Abilene was unable to accumulate
any more scores until the sixth inn
ing when one more score was regist-
cred. Ellis grounded out to the pitch
er. Wilson then sent a savage line
drive over short for a single. Monroe
sacrificed. RED" Ward again came
to the rescue and knocked an ankle
breaker through the third baseman
scoring Wilson.
In the seventh the clouds lowered
over the diamond letting another
downpour Of scores for Abilene.
Bechtold was favored by a walk. Brit
ton got his usual hit advancing Bech-
told to second. williams struck out.
Burton got Texas Lacquer over sec
ond scoring BectoId but BrItton was
thrown out in an attempt to reach
home. Burton reached second. He
was advanced to third by a bunt BY
Ellsl who reached first safely. Ellis
stole second and the catcher pegged
the ball TO short stop for q fake but
the fake was prolonged too long a.
Burton had stolen home. Manager
Wilson who had 50 graclOusiy got
two safe hits. stepped to the rubber
and planted another clean hit be-
tween left and center for q two bag
ger which scored Ellis. The clouds
sort Of dispersed and that was all
the scores Abilene was able to propa-
gate that inning.
However. IN the eighth the clouds
gathered again and Abilene showed
over another score across the plate.
