THE STRONG HAWLEY TEAM
GOES DOWN IN DEFEAT !
The Strong White Mills Team Play Pretty Game of Ball
Sunday-The HawIey Men Could Not Hit
Even See Smiths Curves


part of the county in some years.
The game was full of ginger from
start TO finish. Fast and snappy
fielding on both sides prevented runs
time after time. Hawley was handi-
capped by not having their star
pitcher, McClosky, in the box. Glib
bons kept the hits well scattered un-
til the seventh inning when two hits
and two errors netted the Cresents
two runs. Our own BILLY" Smith
was the boy with the swat getting
two singles and a double at four
times at the bat. Only thirty-three
men faced Smith in the nine innings.
Thielke and Bea were the only men
to get as far as third.
Hawley's first inning-Winter
muffed the third strike on Edwards
but caught him at first. Mcnamara
flyed to Lilly, Siler was disposed of
from Lilly to Dortiinger The Cres-
ents went out in one, two. three ord

gon squeezed, Edwards gathered in
Gutheil's fast liner and nailed him
at first by four feet. Gibbons
handled Winters slow grounder and
threw him out at first. In the sec
ond inning Thielke put the first ball
pitched that looked good for couple
but Beilman made high jump that
broke all records and pulled it down
out of the clouds. Gibbons was hit
by pitched ball but was caught at
second trying to steal. Rose struck
out. w. Smith started the second
