ALovsius Club Ties
the Cornell Tigers
Session, When Paperhangers Clout the Ball
to All COr1ers-Handiboe Stars
Ry C., w. SWAN.

With their first defeat of the post
season series staring them in the face.
in the sixth inning of yesterdays game
in section A, the Cornell Tigers slammed
out enough hits to tie the Aloysius,
to 6. at Capital City League Park.
Had the Tigers fielded in anywhere
near their right :orm, the Aloysius club
aggregation would have been lucky to
score more than a pair of runs. AS 1t
was, four of their tallies were gifts Of
King and Mullin.
Al Handiboe was the hero of the bat
tie, the fast outer gardener slamming
four singles out of as many trips to
the counting block
Another surprise of the contest was
Bob Hummer. The tall HEAVIER punched
out a pair of singles.
Manager Cornell decided to send Ber-
ME Gallagher to the mound, and his
selection would nave been o. X. IL the
team had tielded behind Bernie. But
the left side f the infield had an of
day. and Bernie was chased in the fourth
in favor of Sam Edmonston, who pitched
good game, not an Aloysius clouter
reaching third after the fourth session.
King was the chief offender in the
error line the shoet fielder making a
pair of rank misplays. each of which
hurt the Tigers. The error in the fourth
inning gave the District League cham
pions three runs.
Bernie Gallagher was opposed by Bob
Hummer on the rubber, and the Alloy
sius twirler had the better of the bat
tie, although toward the end Of the
game mis- shoots were being carried to
all corners of the lot.
Hummer Has Perfect support.
Hummer was blessed with perfect sup
port, not an error being made behind
him, the Aloysius infield playing great
ball and working together like clock
work. Hurley and Sullivan pulled some
fast plays, while a double play-Greer
to Sullivan-was one of the features
of the game.
To say that the result was a surprise
would be putting 1t too mildly. The
Cornell Tigers expected to walk away
with the District League champs, and
Clyde Richmond was not sent in to
pitch. While II is true that the Alloy
sius runs were not earned, the Tigers
were up in the air until run No. was
over the pan
The Tigers opened with a rush. Mullin
walked, was sacrificed to second. and
went to third on Handiboe's first hit.
On an attempted double steal Babbing-
ton threw low and Mullin crossed tho
plate with run No. of the game.
AIoysius Scores in Second.
Aloysius came back in the secoRd with
a run. Kings error gave Babbington
a life, the catcher stole second and
third. and scored on RUNNERS first hit.
In the third three Aloysius runners
counted. After Taylor had popped to
Marceron, Greer was safe on Mullin' S
error, went to third on Widmayer's dou-
BILE, and they both scored on Hurley's
single. Jack was thrown out at second
trying to make the bag on the throw
in. Sullivan then clouted the pill to CEN
ter field for three bags, and he counted
a minute later when O'Rielly bingled
to left Marsden followed this with a
safe one. but BabSipgton popped to Gal
lagher, and the fireworks were over for
that session.
The following inning two singles,
coupled with two errors and a sacrifice
hit, netted the Clubmen two tallies their
last of the game, for Edmonston tighten
ed up and not a man reached third after
that
Tigers Jump on Hummer.
In the sixth the Tigers jumped on
Hummer and pounded out four runs.
King opened the session with a single to
center and Handiboe followed with his
third hit. Big Cy popped to O'Reilly, but
Moran slammed a double against the left
field fence, and two tallies went across
the pan. Hessler walked and Billy Mar
ceron came across with a two-base wal
lop to the fence and Moran was over
with Hessler behind him. Marceron
rambled to third on the throw-in, and
COUNTED on McDonald's sacrifice fly.
The following inning saw the score tied.
Mullin walked and went to second when
Handiboe slammed out his fourth single.
Cy lifted a high fly to O'Reilly. but
Charley Moran slapped the pill against
the left field scren for double, Mullin
scoring O'Reilly was thrown out at
third. Then Umpire Belts called the
game.
The Ohicial Score.
