day and in that final round Red Owens
created grand finale Of his own by
lifting the ball high over the right
field fence. Not a hit OF the seventh;
not score to the eighth: make two
runs in the ninth OF tie 1t up; a home
run in the thirteenth to win the game.
That 10 the story Of the afternoons
pastiming, and OF one of the most ex-
citing games of the season at Sports

Birdie Hawk was on the mound
for the locals, and he got in bad at
the start. However, that didn't ap-
pear serious for q time, as Charlie
Jaeger beat the Veterans but about
once In his life time. and 1t was
thought he couldn't repeat that stunt
again. With the lead they had SEE
cured for him, Jaeger dug hard and
deep. and for seven long innings not
a semblance Of hit was made by the
struggling home boys.
Hawk got in bad on Kensel, the
|first man to face him. The chunky
short fielder got pass and Dunn
pulled OFF the unexpected by singing.
SEVERED filled the bill with another
single and Kensel scored. Wrigley
sacrifice flied and Dunn counted. The
locals were out without a glimpse Of
first.
Borton opened the second with his
first Of two doubles. Link advanced
him on his out but the next two were
easy. Owens got walk for local
starter and Paterson sacrificed him
to third. Myers flied out and Gard
grounded.
Everything went along smoothly,
and the fans had settled to indifferent
defeat. In the sixth another count
was added to Egan's score sheet, but
nothing much was thought of that.
SEVERED got life on F1eming'sj boot.
Wrigley hit to left, and when Oaks
hit an infield ny, everybody thought
the scoring was over for that period

three which he was to get In the re-
manning rounds. Myers hit into a
double. however. and the glin Of
hope was doused.
IN the eighth Gard hit long one
to SEVERED in left field, and Egan's
crabby catcher dropped II. Hawk
popped out, but Harmon hit a long
one which counted "Toots" That
was the only one. hut it also was the
opening wedge.

third successive hit, counting Ow-
