interesting games seen on the Suburban
League diamond this season by TO B..
Woodburn started the bail rolling in the
second inning. scoring two runs. In that
round Mullin. Baggette. and Moore sim
gled in succession. two runs coming over
the pan.
As the game progressed the two-run
lead took on greater and greater proper
tons. Silver Spring was unable 10 do
anything with Moore's puzzling delivery.
and the Woodburn rooters settled back
with the comforting idea that they had
the game sewed up for keeps. But in
the sixth chapter Silver Spring got busy.
BealI led Of with a single and Warthen
hunted safely. Beall tried TO reach third
on the play Carroll had Beali nipped
by at least six feet by a perfect throw
to Hiser but the latter dropped the ball
and BeaH reached the third cushion
safely. Warthen then stole second. West
was sent in 10 bat for Lynch and drove
& fly to short right. but Ray dropped
the ball and Beal scored West was
caught going to second on a throw from
Mullin TO Hiser, while Warthen pulled
up at third. The roofing at this time
was frantic. but when Lodge and Clark
came across with clean singles the lid
came of Ahalt ended the agony by
striking out. and when the dust had
lifted Silver Spring had two runs across
the counting block and the score tied up
into hard, fast knot.
Neither team was able to get man on
base in the seventh, but in the eighth
the fireworks broke loose anew, that
round being the most interesting one of
the entire struggle warthen, first up,
popped up little fly between the pitcher
and first baseman. which neither was
able TO reach. West was nit on the head
by a pitched ball. Cissel drove fly TO
center which Steele dropped after a long
run. but Warthen was caught sliding
into third by a quick recovery and relay
from Steele 10 MulIin 10 Davis. Lodge

woodburn rallied gamely in their half.
but fell one short of lying the score.
Carroll worked the pitcher for a base on
balls. and Davis sacrificed. Steele
reached first when Warthen fooled his
grounder, and the Woodburn rooters
came to life with a vengeance. Steele
tried to steal second. and had the bag
annexed but he could not check himself
and overran the cushion and was tagged
out by West, Carroll scoring on the play.
Hiser then grounded out to the pitcher
and Umpire Abbey called the game on

games the rooters have witnessed for
some time, and Lodge. hts battery mate.

the Suburban diamond in many a long
day. He drove out three hits. one OF them
double. and two Of them came at most
opportune moments, having large part
10 do with Silver Springs victory. He
caught beautiful game, apd his pegging
to the bases spelled sure death to any
adventurous bag pirates.
Moore led WOODBURY. with the stick, and
'Silr' Carroll was the fielding star. He
also worked the pitcher for two bases
on balls and was hit on the arm by a
pitched ball Umpire Abbey handled the
