hit the ball smarty for grounder be-
tween third and short. which Delvin
went after and fumbled. There was no
chance to get the runner at the plate, OF
beautifully, and with the Lowell infield
watching for it, Arthurs tumble was
just bad enough, in addition. to give Hol-
Inns time to get to first, and this and the
first score put Black in the hole to such
an extent that when La JOY came UP
he aTanted to give him base on balls,
but only decided to do so after Hughie
gave him the signal from the bench.
This bit of strategy, however. and the
hope of thereby retiring the side on a
ford was the next batter Everybody was
expecting him to try for long sacrifice
fly. but he turned his best chance into
what was better still. a Texas Lacquer
into left, which scored Beach.
1t began to look like the kind of a
game the fans like right here.
The infield came in and Twitchell. the
batter, tried to drive one out of Hans
reach to his right. but Hans made beau
tiful stop and threw to Gibbief forcing
Hollins.
The Lowell boys breathed a little easier,
as there were now two out, although the
bases were filled.
Roger Brest came to bat and Black
had in mind the way Roger had worried
him in the other games and decided to
get him. Brest let the first one go by
and it was a strike. The second ball he
struck at with mighty swing and miss
ed. Roger seemed to be slow in re-
covering from his swing and Miner tried
to sneak a straight one over on him. But
Brest was, only pretending. for he hit
that ball for about as swift liner as
ever was hit about six feet to Halls right.
It looked like sure hit. and the Jefferson
Singing CLUB was already cheering Roger,
when Hal stuck out his right hand and
the ball stuck in his glove. Then it was
time for Lowell to cheer, for the spec
tacular catch had saved two runs at
least, and four runs in the first half is
almost too much of a handicap 1t had
been a hard inning for Lowell to get by.
Everson started the ball rolling by hit
ting the first ball for a single to right
just to show the other fellows that there
were others who had batting eyes. Capt
larke's attempt at safe one through
the pitchers box went a little too near
to where La JOY was playing, and Ever
son was forced at second.
Talkington tried hard to put one over
TwitchelTs head. but all he got out OF
1t was the satisfaction of seeing that
sensational catches.
Robb hit one in HoHins' direction which
was too hot for the Jefferson shortstop to
handle, though it was almost straight
into his hands. and 1t went as an error
against him and Robb was safe.
1t looked as though Mellen intended to
walk Hans. who was next up. for the
first three balls were wide of the plate
The fourth. however. whether Intentional
or not, cut the outer corner and Hans
quickly turned ii into a long single to
left center. which scored Larke. Robt
thought this was good time to tie the
score, and tried to come all the wa!
home on the play. At that he came pretty
near making 1t. for he made beautiful
slide and was nipped by inches on the re-
Law from Beach to Holiins to Brest. The
crowd settled back to enjoy what prom
Used to be one Of its favorite games-lots
Of hitting and sharp fielding.
The second inning opened with Meller
at bat, and Black went after him. He
got two strikes on him right away, but
Me!len made a weak effort on the next
ball, and it rolled to the pitchers box
and was an easy out for Miner and Hal
Black then thought he'd make it one
of his good innings. He completely out
