DUPONT held to its lead in the Coun-
ty League pennant race by beating
out Brookwood in fast game at
Front and Union streets. on Saturday
afternoon, by a to 2 score. Piersou
and Beattie we're the opposing slab
artists and while Beattie had the long
end Of the argument, Pierson was
more effective IN the strikeout argu-
ment He stood five Of the Million
aries up when hits would have swelled
the score. and otherwise showed him
TO be a twirler who has control and
speed DUPONT got six hits OF him,
and the number was enough 20 win
Brookwood collected four of Beattie.
II was the best game Beattie has
pitched. Beside his good work on the
mound he played star fielding game,
collected a hit and scored the run that
won the game.
Not until the third inning did either
team score. Then DUPONT put a run
across the pan, but I'm the next in
ming Brookwood put two over and
took the lead after Flood, Battle and
Dugan had failed TO break up the
squeeze. dupont tied the game up in
the sixth and won out In the eighth
when Beattie crossed the pan.
Umpire Murphy, former big league
man, worked In the game and did
splendid work except when he re-
fused to allow Flood to take as many
bases as he could make on a block
ed ball before It had been returned
to the pitcher. The decision cost du-
/ Pont a run and had the Millionaires
! lost the game a just protest would
have been filed by Manager Garrett
! In the eighth inning Murphy allied
4 Beattie safe at third after a steal for
the bag Some fans hooted the deci-
sion, but Murphy acted within his
province when he gave the runner the
benefit of the doubt.
