In the presence of $50 fans and
fanettes Wednesday night the Fire
men extinguished lively blaze at
the ball grounds and when the "all
out" was sounded the score stood
Firemen 6, Columbia Valley Bank
Building 8.
The boys" should be given much
credit for their good work for they
were up against the real thing and
it looked as IL the blaze might get
away from their control in the Sec
ond inning.
The Firemen have been working
hard lately and are fast rounding
into shape, but they were obliged to
go some last night and but for the
start they obtained in the first in
ming there might have been another
story.
The Bank Building nine looks good
to the fans and will be a factor that
will "cause 'em all to sit up and
take notice" in the coming series.
Shaw, Thompson and Littlefield in
the outfield are fast and a sure death
to anything that comes within range
of their meat hooks. In the infield
Sam Sumner, Powell, Frank Case
and George Collier made some pretty
stops and fine throws. For the bat
terry Jones and Randall aren't slow.
In response to the gong the Fire
men made a lightning hitch and a
quick getaway and before the alarm
had stopped sounding Godfrey, Terry
Ross, Cushing and Harry Miller had
sprinted across the rubber.
With the Bankers at bat, the Fire
men got busy and Randall, Shaw and
Collier went out in one, two, three
order. Score to 0 favor of Fire
men.
In the second, Harry Miller was
the only hose coupler able to make
a successful tour of the bases. In
their half the Bankers came in wear
ing determined look and the bugs
cheered as Harry Jones toted his war
club to the pan. Harry was there
with the package and chopped a
bingle to right.
Powell knocked some more spray
off the ball and Thompson spilled
the whitewash by bringing in Jones
and Powell with a stinging slam to
the outer garden, scoring himself a
minute later. This ended the scor-
ing for this spasm. Score, Firemen
5, Bankers 3.
In the third inning Cliff Godfrey
committed a crime under the new
code when he purloined second and
third sacks right In the presence of
several witnesses. He was the only
man to tally for the Firemen in this
inning.
TIE, Bankers started off with a
rally and but for poor coaching
would probably have scored. Ran
dalle got to first but was nailed to
second in an attempt to steal Shaw
singled, Collier followed with another
between first and second, Jones
scratched to the infield sending Shaw
to third. Collier could have made
second easily but George was asleep
at the switch. Jones stole second.
A hit would have brought In two
runs but Powell went the Whit
route.
This ended the scoring on both
sides and it was one, two. three in
the remaining innings.
