OF the Opening Combat, and
Loose Playing Lost Con-
Guiding Battle.
A walkaway and series of obstacles
the Speed Boys were unable to sur
mount, sent 1000 odd fans to the
heights of delight and the depths OF
despair at the Myrtle street acre sun
day. The walk-away featured the hrst
combat with Lou Drills Brownies, and
Pitcher Nasseth was the gent VINO
made the going so easy. The Speeu
Boys won. to blank. The second
conflict, however. went to the invaders
2 to l in seven frames, and the oD-
stacles that made this result posslble
was Battling Baertscht and the butter
fingers of Kent, SEVERED and John-
ston. The natives were practically
helpless before the sizzling offerings
from the port side of the gent with the
funny name, but at that, victory would
have perched itself twice on the
shoulders of the Egan folks had the'
Speed Boys played just a wee m'te
tighter baseball and Baertschl peen
little less stingy. At that the athietes
on Ned's pay sheet threw the vlsltors
into more than one scare when tnelr
mighty efforts advanced men around
to the closest station to the plate.
The first encounter was featured by
as rare q piece of flinging as the
average fan would want to see on the
| best day Of all James Dunn had all
| the benders any nice young fellow ike
! a Speed Boy should possess, and ne
was not at all afraid to shove EN-
across to bedazzle the Browns. his
hookworm pellet was working over
time. and nary safe drive was
punched in any of the stanzas except
the teaser frame marked NO. s. IN
this James steered clear OF using the
enemy of John D. and three drives TO
the corner gardens resulted me
failure of Siner to come across with
the necessary squeeze assault, thanks
to the wild-eyed stuff James applied
TO the leather, nipped Hill at the plate
and Russell closed the uncertain
chapter by connecting with Hosea
friends.
Score all in Two Spots.
While Jimmie was going so good,
the rest of the clan counseled with one
another and decided to get back at the
visitors for coming so close In the
fourth. The Rabbit was first up and he
poled to right for a sack Severed
did likewise, choosing the opposite SIDE
for the route. Johnston smacked to
Puttyland for two pillows Y ID Russell
registered. A wild pitc hgaye Severed
tally and put Johnston on third.
Senno put Siner and Foster to work,
and Johnston beat the relayed throw
home by an inch This trio of scores
looked to be all that were needed I'M
til Oaks drew pass IN the seventh.
The boss conf1ded to Borton that IT
would be very nice to clout for two or
three sacks and give Oaks a score.
Borton chose the latter and Oaks
scampered home while Putnam ana
Johnson raced to the left center fence
for Borton's triple. Finney's single
line spank. Before this third session
and ever after, Mr.. Dunn was as hard
to hit as the tantalizing fly on the
dome of a naked head. 1t Is true that
he tossed Irmscher walk in the fifth
and errors by Johnston and SEVERED
gave Johnson two bags in the sixth,
hut this philanthropy was just to make
the guests feel that they were among
pushed Borton across and the scoring
ended.
Second Game Thriller.
The concluding show of the after
noon was thriller that would have
shamed Lincoln ]. Carter. After the
second frame, when Manager Ned
realized that Baertschi would be as
hard to beat as his name Is to pro-
nounce. the hirelings were instructed
to use fearlessness on the sacks. The
doubling of Kent and Finney in the
third was due to this fearlessness. A
nearscore featured the fourth frame,
in which SEVERED doubled and stole
third after Kensel and Russell were
placed aside. Jim Johnston and
Baertschi hooked up for merry war.
Two fouls and Baertschi bender
nroved too much for Jimmie, and the
near-score remained thus. With two
dead in the sixth, Williams smote for
two sacks, and to make 1t good, Maurle
let go wild heaye. This placed big
Gus on third, from which he scored
when Hill singled to left. Another
near-score set the fans uneasy In OF
tumwa's half of the sixth. Finney
walked and Kent's dump placed him
on second Siner disposed of Kensel
and Russell pushed a slow one toward
Irmscher. The Rabbit beat the throw
to first, but Fosters return OF the ball
to Hart, nipped Freddie at the rubber
Severeid's failure to crap Putnams
foul in the seventh was the first mis-
play of that frame. Johnston's boot,
which followed shortly after, was the
second. These two errors, coupled
with Putty's theft of second and
Irmscher's rap between Russell and
Senno Melted Monmouth's second
score. When SEVERED lifted the ball
over the fence for two sacks in the
concluding half Of the session, q
mighty yell went up from the lusty
! ones. Johnston's walk was welcome,
but Baertschi turned the order Of
things by whiting Senno Oaks beat
out snail-like punch down first base.
