OCCIDENTALS WIN
IN NINTH INNING
HummelI WeakenS After Fine
Work. for Murray-Rec-
ord Crowd Out.

After seemingly hopelessly beaten,
shut out for seven innings and let
down by Hummell with two hits, the
Oeeidentals made another ninth inning
rally and won from Murray yesterday
afternoon. to ?. The game was played
before the largest crowd of the season,
crowd OF fans that showed that Salt
Lake could turn out 10 a ball game
again.
After pitching brilliant ball for sew
en- innings Hummeu weakened in the
eighth, walking the first two men up
which, followed by a hit by McAdOo
scored q run, II was two TO one for
Murray and the ninth inning coming up
and still the Murray crowd was con-
fident Of victory.
Murray went out one, two. three. in
the first or the ninth. Langley was
first up for the Occidentals. but ne
grounded out TO first. LangfOrd then
set the Occidentals' roOters hoping by
cracking out a pretty single to left
center. Burns was next and he Sc
lected a good one and when the smoke
mad cleared away LangfOrd was racing
across the plate and Burns was on
second with tWO-bagger 10 his credit.
Billy Lane then proceeded to break up
the game by lifting one over Tegunn's
head in left field and Burns scored the
winning run.
Until the last inning HummeH had
outpltched Mooney, but the three hard
siiaSHeS II buhcn were TOO much 10
keep the OcCldentaiS from winning.
Mooney pitched a steady game, the
five hits he allowed being scattered
lie also handled seven assists.
=. Murray scored her first run in the
first inning on errors b. Robinson and
Burns and hit by Kaefer. The Occi-
dentals were a little up in the air but
steadiec down from then on. Murray's
second tally came in the seventh when
ROBINSON let Tegunn's hard hit ball get
through him. Means sacrificed Tegunn
10 second and Manns three bagger to
left drove in the score.
Fast Fielding.
Fast fielding by both teams was a
feature OF the game In the first of
the third Robinson shot into the air for
a one-handed catch of Mann's drive,
which looked impossible to cage. In
the fourth Castro after landing on third
with three Dagger was thrown out at
the plate by LangfOrd from right field
in trying 10 score on Gums fly. Cas-
trO, Means and Kaefer figured in a
fast double and Manager Black OF the
0ccidentals pulled down a fly from
Gums bat after a hard run.
In the fifth inning there came a dis
pute over play that got the fans TO
buzzing. Means was on first when
Hummell sent a low fly ball TO Hawk
ms at short. Hawkins seeing that
Hummell had stopped running and
Means was holding first dropped the
BAN after sweeping IL from his head to
the ground hoping 10 draw Means off
first and get in a double play.
Umpire McAndreWs held that Hum
nell was out as Hawkins had held the
bail long enough to complete the put
out Black objected TO the decision on
the ground that the umpire did not have
the right to use his Judgment on
whether or not a fielder had held the
ball long enough for an out Black
continued the game under protest. but
when his team won out he withdrew
the protest and the Occidentals bets
were eashed. As IL happened the play
made no difference in the result.
The game was interesting and the
$500 fans enjoyed it. II was a pleas
ure TO see the packed grandstand and
bleachers.
The Occidentals look to have a good
chance to make good in their bet of
beating Murray out for the pennant,
but the race will be a good one.
