men in Tenth Inning Rally
After Two Men are Down
AWAY FOR TWO
GAMES WITH LANCASTER


Reading Wilmington series on Satur-
day in the tenth inning by TO 4
score. Captain Tony Marhefka and
Murphy were the speed Chicks who
broke the thing up after the teams
had held to four runs each from the
sixth inning. Tony had hit a double
and a single previously which. aided
by Murphy's single and two sacrifices,
had put him across the pan twice,
and when the youngster came up in
the tenth while the 1900 fans we're
shouting themselves hoarse for the
winning run It was at hard luck
stage. for two Chicks had already
gone to roost Tony was scratching,
though, and hit the fourth ball over
for his third single. Murphy stepped
up and swung at the first one over,
allowing Tony TO land on second.
Cassidy gave an extra pull at his
white vest which seemed TO indicate
that a second single was need from
Murphy this time and sure enough

the Chicks to close the week with a
500 percentage.
BrazeH to the Rescue.
OF course. much OF the credit for
the victory belongs to Brazell. The
big fellow went into the fray after
Bausewine had loaded the sacks In
the first inning. 1t was a deep hole
for twirler TO be put in and before
Brazell got out three Pretzelmen had
scored. But there was little doing
after that for the visitors. Brazell
keeping the remaining hits so well
scattered that only one Of them re-
suited in an additional run.
Reading also used second pitcher.
Ramsey, who started things for the
visitors the day before. listed for only
two men. Seigfried walking and Mar
hefka hitting Tor double. Then the
hook reached him and Horsey was
trotted out to save the game. The
"spit ball" boy kept the hits discon-
nected until TIE tenth inning when
Marhefka and Murphy turned the
trick that gaze the Chicks the game.
Marhefka got three hits in four times
at bat, while Murphy pulled out with
two In his three times at bat.
Jude and Rudolph were the only
Pretzelmen who got better than one
hit In all the visits collected six
while Wilmington got eight. Both
teams fielded splendidly.
Because There. who went In 10
catch for the Chicks, questioned Um-
pire Connelly's Judgment on a ball
served to the second Reading man up,
he was ordered out Of the game. The
fans hooted at Connelly's haste and,
although they did not get to see the
big fellow finish his FIRST game az
home, they were satisfied with Har-
kins' work of the afternoon.
How the Runs We're Made.
Bausewine looked good enough
when he put his feet on the rubber.
He yanked in with one hand Stutz's
