by Send In Deciding Run of sat
urday Game--Four Straight From
Newark.

lt required just eleven innings of
the most desperate article of baseball
seen here for many a day, and a great
batting rally, to decide Saturdays
great pitching duel in favor OF Joe
Lewis and against Joe Stoup.
The leagues two hard luck heaN-
crs faced each other for the second
time in the series and for the second
time Lewis was little bit better
than his opponent and won.
Replete with brilliant pitching and
clever fielding resistance the game
was worth while. The closing rally
was one of those hairraising kind.
Joe Lewis was there in the tight
places and believe me, those were
rather numerous. Molders kept on
trying and no sooner would Lewis
emerge from a close call than the
callers would have him in another
one. But II seemed as though some
thing like that was necessary To make
the manager get down to his really
best assortment of benders. Stoup,
on the other hand was no mean re-
sister lie was good all the way
until the eleventh and Diggers, ready
To- score found that their fellows
could not solve the Stoup offering eX-
cept on rare occasions.
Newark got "a pair of runners on
In the opening round but Lewis
tightened up. Diggers with two out
filled the bases. Wolfe walked, will
liams singled and Stalcy was ribbed.
Farrell could not deliver
The second was essentially a New
ark innings. Piper led Off with
single to right, a grounder that hopp-
ed over Staley's head lie was
caught trying to steal and then Book
followed with triple to left. Fish
or's bunt scored Book and was so
clcverly placed that Lewis did not at
tempt TO get either runner. Stoup
followed with fast one To WillOugh-
by, who with the aid of Behringer
and Stalcy doubled Stoup and Fisher.
Diggers scored in the sixth Mil
Ter walked and Walfc Sacrificed. Will
liams lifted to snyder but Staley
scored the fielder with a single TO
middle. Farrell followed with drive
TO the same place. .Johnstone popped
To Hoffman.
Lewis was at his best after getting
into the tightest of places in the
eighth Fisher singled and when
Stoup buntcd Lewis threw wide to
second to head Off Fisher and both
were safe. Getting into a hole with
snyder, Lewis allowed the Molder to
walk, packing the cushions, after
Hoffman had sacrificed the pair
around.
Then Joe went to work Two Mold
ers had to be retired before one ofthem
crossed the plate or the contest was
lost. With McClintock up the squeeze
which had produced the first run, was
tried but Lewis saw II coming and
heavcd high, McClintock fouling off
the ball Then McClintock tried to
hit IL out. The result was a high
bounder toward Wolfe. Lewis leaped
into the air, pulled in the pall with
one hand and threw to Johnstone
ahead of Fisher. Johnstone's relay
to Staley beat McClintock and the
prcttiest double of the season and
probably the most timely one was
completed and Joe Lewis and the
Digger cause were safe for the time
being
In the ninth Abbott drew a, pass
for starter and Wratten sacrificed d
the game was gone but Williams
came in fast ana getting the ball
turned Abbott back TO third. Book
then hit to Willoughby whose peg to
Johnstone caught Abbott at the plate
and BchriDger caught Fishers tantal-
izing lift just back of second.
But even then the danger was not
over In the eleventh McClintock hit
over the third sack for two bases
! Lewis, once more went To work, put
out Abbott, who failed to bunt in
| three tries. Willoughby captured
Wrattens foul fly after desperate
run and Piper famed
The Digger effort in the last hall
| OF the frame was successful. Staley
singled to left and Farrell attempted
to sacrifice, but did II so well tbat
| he beat het ball to hrts.
| Johnstone's sacrifice advanced tho
/ runners Then with the inheld draw
in and Fisher playing particular,
close, looking for squeeze, VIII
loughby pushed over his head Tn,
Molder made desperate effort bui
could only knock It down, Willough
by making first unmolested and Stale,
going in with the winning run.
