MANY innings, and the Angels deserved
every tally they secured.
Vernon Wins In First
The HoganNes won their game in
+he drst inning, or rather, Coy won 1t
for them.
with two men on bases, the pinch
hitting kid raped a smooth, easy look
ing sizzler to left center. 1t scraped
the ground, raising little crowd OF
dust. and then as IL dissatisfied with
its efforts, bounded over the fence ana
ont of sight. This gave the Suburban
ties three runs. Here is how it came
about. With Stovall out, Bernie NC
Cav singled to right and went to sec
ond on Martinkes out. Brashear was
passed to first, and Coy then MADE
his homer which scored the two run
gners ahead of him. That was about
all of Importance, except that the An
gels got two runs, and the Vernonites
made a comfortable finish, scoring four
more in the latter part Of the game.
Daley scored for the Angels in the
first when he singled to left, stole sec
ond, went to third on Willetts wild
throw to catch "Pete" asleep at the
second station, and scored on the
throw-in of Godwin's long left-feld fly
Vernon Support Timely
Willett pitched himself into most
worrisone hole in the fourth, but
beautiful fielding back Of him held the
Angels to only one score when it looked
as il they had a chance to get half
dozen. Beall walked, with no one out.
Howard reached first safely on Will
Iett's throw-away of his bunt to CEN
ter, and ]. Smith went out on long
right field fly. Then Beall and Howard
worked a pretty double steal, and Del
mas singled to right, bringing the Chi
cagoan over. It looked good to Howard
also, and he kept on coming, but was
nailed at the plate, making the second
out, when Coy made a perfect heave to
Brown. H. Smith flew out, sending his
side into the field.
Coy added to his batting honors in
the seventh by stretching a stiff cen-
ter field bingle into a Double. Eagan
hit to Jud Smith. and when the doctor
dropped his forceps and hunted for the
ball, Coy hotfooted it TO the plate, ar
irving safely. Then in the eighth, the
Vernonites scored three more, but for
the sake of the good name of the
Champs we will omit the details, and
Just let it go at this
