and cut the runner down at the initial,
Grason coming over with the increment
on the out. Spencer went out, Cum
ningham to Hudgins.
To an adagio of mournful note from
the Swimmer clan, the Highlanders
manipulated another tally across in the
fifth seance, and every local fan except
"Tom" Offutt saw that pennant flung to
the breeze below that of Old Glory from
the staff at Highland Park. The only
reason Tom didn't have his china
blue agates on the rag was that he
wasn't on Rettaliata' preserves. Rely
said something about someone being a
bonehead when he was thrown out by
Logan to "Gene' Hudgins, but just
what particular parsonage wore such a
turret Lee didn't explain. Grason
slammed one as hot as cake off grid
die at the guardian of third, who made
his second error. Bruff sacrificed, and
when Connolly heaved to Hudgins he
must have had an idea "Gene'' was
l7-footer. Grason just naturally trotted
to the wire when the ball bounded to
the single line Of bleachers occupied by
bunch of skirts and their attendants
decked out in glad rags of the latest
fall styles. To relieve somewhat the
Jared feelings Of the Swimmers rooters,
a lightning double play was pulled off
by triumvirate. Melville tore of
warm one to "Eggy" Cunningham, fore
ing Bruff at second, and Logan, by a
quick toss, nailed Freddy" at the in
itial by a good two yards.
With the score standing 4 to 0 against
them in the seventh, the Swimmers
awoke to the fact that the whitewash
bucket was on their premises and that
Jenifer's men were getting ready to
apply the brush. Jarosik pummeled
one OF eds shoots to Rely, which
glanced off Lees shin. Hall tapped to
Hart, but in his anxiety to make the
play he fumbled. Hall stole second.
Lewis pounded to Melville, but Fred let
the ball get away, and Jarosik and Hall
came over with the first two tallies amid
great confusion. Hudgins advanced
Lewis on sacrifice. Connolly poled
long fly to Parks in center. Lewis was
on his toes waiting for the ball to settle
in the fielder's mitt Steadying himself
Parks threw the missile as true as rife
bullet to the plate, mailing the runner
by narrow margin.
BY batting rally in the eighth, with
none down, the sacks were filled and the
Highlanders were given the chance of
their lives for additions to their score.
but failed. Sharp fielding by the Swim
mers kept the killed laddies away from
the dish.
Logan led off in the eighth with a
single and scored on Gilley's lift to right.
Logan pulling up at third. Wilhelm
put an easy one to Melville, who was
playing in for squeeze; he threw true
as hair to Phipps, who scraped Gilley
from hip to heel with the ball before be
reached the dish. A blind man on a
galloping horse could see the runner
was out a mile, but Umps Krichton
didn't see it that way and declared the
runner safe. There was storm OF pro-
test at the decision. Manager Jenifer
was advised to withdraw his men and
forfeit the game. A conference was held
and play resumed But the task CT de-
feating 10 men with 8 was something
the Highlanders hadn't bargained for.
However, the tie was broken in the
ninth. Pbipps ambled on four wide
ones. Hart rammed single along
third, which hugged the line. Rely
