Wenatchee 8.
For ways that are dark and
tricks that are vain those Pontiacs
sure are peculiar apologies to
the poet.) Some of their tricks
worked, and some did not, as may
/ be judged from the fact that they
got not a single earned run, while
the home team had three. However,
the difference between the final
score of 9 to and the earned runs
to 0, was largely matter Of errors
and luck.
1t was spectacular game
smashing hits, double plays, stolen
bases, close decisions and hot de-
bate The unexpected was always
on tap. For instance, Hornet" Perry
has been little timid of late about
standing up to the plate. Yesterday
he almost straddled it and listlessly
propped himself up on the bat as
though he were about to roll a Gig
arctic. Several fans were yelling
very Gliding remarks at him to
brace up" The Pontiac pitcher
evidently thought there was a good
chance to put one over" he did so.
Bling! Quicker than creased light
ming up came Hornets" bat and
the little sphere went sailing out
into the field for three-base hit.
Then up came Harry Rush and had
| the audacity to send the center field
er on another hurried trip to the
back fence, making two three-bag-
gers in succession. Those Pontiacs
surely did look worried.
But their troubles were not alone
due to the unmerciful hitting of the
home players. On their bench they
were heard discussing the seeming
impossibillty of solving Browns
curves. He was there with rings
on" yesterday, and those rings may
be seen in the struck out column.
Heavens, how those Seattle men did
smite the air.
Neither team scored in the first
inning, and the visitors were rum
less for four sessions at the bat. But
in the second half of the second in
ming Brown started the joy for the
grand stand by a Texas Lacquer. He
went to third on Ross single to right
field. Pugh famed and while Ster-
ling was at bat that wicked Brown
had the nerve to steal home. This
piece of impoliteness so ratified Hill
ton, the Pontiac catcher, that he
muffed and the first score came over.
By the way, remember that catch
er Hilton. Well have some fun with
him this week. He was larger part
of the show yesterday. For several
innings he had an awful crouch. But
the fans good-naturedly "kidded"
him and a smile blossomed which did
not come off for the rest of the
game, except when he got the nose
bleed That he is a game man was
evident from the way he stood up
to bat while still suffering. He sent
out what would have been a nice
double had not Ross pulled the bail
down out Of the sun.
A balloon ascension occurred in
| the third time up for the locals. 1t
started with Rush's singing ground
er to center. Krumholtz, Brown,
Pugh and Stockey all made the
rounds, but Stockey was caught at
the plate. The session only ended
when Thompson, second baseman,
made a sensational one-hand pickup
of Sterling's hot grounder, retiring
the side. Score 0-6.
| The game then seemed safely
slowed away, but the fans were
again subjected to the unexpected.
The Pontiacs refused to be licked
before the end of the game. In the
