n.l.A.A. champions Again Bite the
Dust
MILLER KNOCKED OUT
Sandy Hold Them Safe and Alma Adds
Another Victory

INOl ONCE III lllS ldSl lOul ySdlS has
Albion been able to put one over
on us, try as hard as they could.
Alma continued to carry its usual
hoodoo for Albion-that of con-
siStant smuggling accordingly last
Saturday another Albion pitcher
was knocked from the mound,
Chine Miller retiring in the second
after a single, a double, and
triple had been rudely appropriated
from him.
This makes a total Of eight
victories against two defeats for
the season one by the Saginaw
League team and the other by the
u. of M. Alma's MLA.A. record
however stands perfect, with five
victories and no defeats.
Sandy Duncanson was again on
the mound and though not feeling
in the best shape pitched a re-
markable game and would have
been credited with another shut
out but for a base on balls, tluky
single by Miller and a passed ball.
Only two hits were gathered off
him, one a perfect bunt by Brown
on the first ball delivered and
Miller'S single. Sandy struck out
nine men but put himself in a hole
several times by giving walks. At
no time however were any of the
Albion batters able to do anything
with him. The way he was pitch
ing he didn't need much support
except at the bat and that was to
be had in lots. Eight hits in all
We're made by his team including
three doubles and a triple. With
better work on the bases Alma
could have had several more scores
but enough is enough. The
Albion men arrived full Of con-
fdence the night before and were
intent upon winning the game at
start. Brown cleverly hunted the
first ball down the left foul line and
was safe, Altman popped to Burke,
Wilson got on lst on an error by
Phillips, Octy Graham caught
McKale's high foul and Sandy
threw out Knickerbocker ending
the trouble.
Hole headed the Alma list and
got on first when Knickerbockel
fumbled his asty bounder, Ca
sacrificed him to second. Sandy
popped to Altman, Billy Burke usec
the big stick and singled to righ'
but Hole was caught at the plate
trying to score from second.
Graham opened the last half o
the second inning by grounding t
Funk, Phillips drew a base on ball:
and scored on kefgen's SmaSl
which went for three bases by
. virtue of a bad bound past Lee il
left field. Montieth scored kefger
, with single and Hole doubled t,
right but Monty was held at third
This beinga most appropriate place
Mr.. Miller made his exit from tn,
+ pitchers box and contented him
: self with right garden for the re
/ mainder of the game.

fifth. Lee struck out, Emmon
drew base on balls took Secon
