STANDING or THE TEAMS

In what was considered the mos
uninteresting and bedraggled gam,
Of baseball that has ever been wit
messed on the Abilene ball diamond
since the league season opened wal
displayed yesterday when the Locals
walked away from the Manhattan
bunch by the score Of . to 8. 1t war
q Thanksgiving to the spectators and
also to Manhattan that the game was
called In the seventh. X
Abilene is forming a good habit
i that should be kept UP, that Is, maxi
| ing four runs in the first inning. Not
only at junction did the locals chase
| in four runs In the first but yester-
day the same formula was carried
out. Burton led at bat and flew
to left. Ellis then took his position
at the plate, amidst a loud cIamor or
hand claEplng and shouting, and tap
ped the minute globular horsehide
over second and gained first, He
then stole second. "Affie" Wilson
ives next to WELD the big stick. He
chopped the atmosphere for three
strikes and reached second on pass
ball by the catcher which also sccr-
ed Ellis. Wilson managed to gain
third by an error and spiked the rub
Der for the second score by Monroe's
sacrifice to short. Ward then got to
first by scratch hit and stole Sec
ond. Ergot got a hit over first which
scored Ward. Ergot went to second
on the play from right to home. !
Bechtold followed Ergot's example
and hit TO right scoring Ergot. Rrit-
ton walked and Slater slashed the
ozone.
In ire second Abilene made pref
ty double play. tMuggsy" alias Mon
roe, received a chance in center and
threw to second catching the runner
who had made a hasty exit for third.
Burton was first up for Abilene In
the second and sent an ankle break
or through the pitcher which went
earring ON and passed the center field
or. While the ball was making It's
quick trip to the "alfalfic" region,
Burton was rambling by first to reach
second which he did successfully. \
Ellis sacrificed Burton to third and |
Wilson hunted scoring Burton.
The next two up accomplished ,
nothing. "a
Manhattan was able to propagate :
mother score to it's list In the third i
Tut that was all the Maroons were
BILE to terminate.
Abilene was held down by Bryant's
ggregation until the sixth when +,
trough several errors and accumula- !,
lon Of hits Wilson'S colts were able !
. prance across the rubber pavement I
Or four more runs. 3
Nothing more was accomplished \
/ the seventh. Umpire Mckee then !,
rought the game to a close on ac- !
punt Of darkness. "
Baseball Gossip.
"Slatts," the new pitcher whose
BAL name is Slater, pitched a fair
anne yesterday. His pitching was e
Of 30 much speed and curves but g
cad work. q
Ergot was at home back Of the "a
1t yesterday and made several ex- 10
sllent pegs. p
'Muggsy" Monroe seems to be more
an out fielder than a catcher al
Tough he Is a crackerjack Of a back
op. q
Ellis seems to slap that pill Just
here his opponents are not looking W
II It and the way he tears around M
e diamond Is something that would n
r your collar buttons loose. ~
