brilliant and sensational support. thu
truckers were defeated by the Bugs
this afternoon by the score of to 3.
The wildness Of Hannifan helped TO
make the score one-sided.
The Bugs scored in three different
innings. when they should have only
had one opportunity to score. The
Truckers, on the other hand, had
chances to score in several, before
they did finally work runner around
the circuit.
In the third inning the fireworks
started Hooker was safe on Toner'S
error, and went to second when Han
nifan threw Gaston's bunt wide to
second sack. allowing the ball to go
to right centre. Priest grounded out
to first station. Coggins hit one to
Toner, which should have easily been
a double, but it was thrown to the
grandstand In an attempt to catch
Hooker at the plate, and both he and
CASTOR were safe. Laughlin was equal
to the occasion with double. but
fast fielding cut Cosgins off at the
plate. Bussey, however, scored Laugh
lin with his clean drive for one base.
Things went along nice enough. and
everybody thought that the club had
settled down, but the seventh inning
was another aeroplane trip. Laughlin
opened up with a hit. Bussey at
tempted to sacrifice, but Bowen drop
ped the ball. and both men were safe
Sullivan attempted to sacrifice, but
then Hannifan threw bad to first. and
three men were on base. with none
out. Mayberry did not like to see
things too one-sided. so he famed the
air. but score was due, SO Hooker
accepted four bad ones. forcing in a
run. Castor singled, scoring Griffin,
and Hooker was caught at the plate
trying to come from second home.
Priest walked and Coggins ended the
trip by a fly to left garden. The three
runs made by the Truckers were tho
