Vernon 7, San Francisco 7-13 Innings
After securing a lead of three runs
on Mohler's Seals, the Vernon baseball
team failed to win yesterdays contest
which was called on account of dark
ness at the end Of the thirteenth in
ming. Schafer pitched winning ball Tor
the locals, but errors at critical mo-
ments let in the runs which cost YER
non yesterdays contest. Brownlng'
who essayed to throw San FRANCISCO 10
victory. was pounded heavily IN the
aighth inning and was relieved by Dur
ham. who failed to show anything SEN
Left Fielder Bodie of the northerners
and Martinke, who covers the same
position for the Hoganites, made errors
which scored runs at critical moments
although the San Francisco player re-
deemed himself by connecting with a
safety in the latter half or the hlhth'
which tied the score.
The Champions led until the fifth
inning, when four runs were put over
bv Vernon, and from this point until
darkness compelled the game to pc
called t. locals appeared to be on the
verge of annexing the contest. Time
after time Hogans players would HI
two or all of the bases, only to be cut
off by the brilliant intield work OF the
top-notchers.
Four Runs In Fifth
In the fifth inning Vernon scored the
runs which should have won the game,
With one down, Devereaux singled
along the third base line. Hogan
walked and Zeider copped Schaefer's
high one. With two outs and no runs,
Left Fielder Bndie of the Seals muffed
a long fly right in his mitt, allowing
Devereaux to score and Hogan to reach
third, with Stovall biding his time at
the second station. Bernard made the
most of Bodies error by rapping out
double, scoring a couple more. Mar
tinke followed suit, scoring Bernard.
With a lead of two runs on the
Champions and the despised bottom
notchers rang the bell thrice more IN
the latter half of the eighth, and, al
though their opponents whacked the
gong twice, Vernon was three runs TO
the good when the teams assumed
their positions for the fatal ninth. And,
as if imbued by Bodies earlier exam
pie, Left Fielder Martinke allowed
fly to slip through his fingers, which
caused the rather slim crowd of
bleacherites to remain another hour in
their sun-baked positions.
BrodIe's Timely Single
Bodie. however. brought great glory
to the San Francisco camp by driving
a clean single through the infield, scor-
ing the tieing run. Mundorff, who had
been commissioned by Mohler to WELD
the stick in place of Browning, flew to
Coy One down. Davis followed Mum
dorffs example by hoistng another
skyrocket to the left garden right into
Martinke's paws. Two down? Never
in the world! Martinke let that bail
go through him like water through
sieve, and Davis took second. Mohler
upheld his reputation by swatting the
horsehlde to the left garden, putting
Davis on third. Zeider forced Mohler
at second. Two down. and Vernon
still three runs in the lead
Tenant saved the day at this stage
of the game by doubling to right, scor-
ing Zeider and placing Miller on third.
Bodie saved the day by singing the In
field, scoring Tenant.
From this point until the latter half
OF the thirteenth not run was scored,
although Vernon players reached Sec
ond and third. The game was slow,
but was relieved by several brilliant
plays. The score:
