a big share in the So victory. Louden
has been appointed su~b-captain. to act
when McAllister is out of the game as
field Lieutenant. Rankin Johnson has
asked Joe McGinnity to let him pitch
against Rochester. 1t is probable that
he will get his wish. The big fellow
has lots of stuff and should make good.
Charley Smith was slated to get his
first opportunity to pitch this after
noon against the Herd.

into the team. jenkins and Swayne

The Bengais tailed half Of their runs
in the first inning. After Meyer had
been retired. Johnny Nee made his
longest hit this season, a triple. Then
Johnny Kelly brought him home with a
safe wallop. Bud Sharpe made a neat
pickup of Dalton's bang and got the
Tiger outfielder at first. Cady's hit
brought Kelly home. while Bill Lou
denis safety sent the big backstop to
the plate. Prick ended 1t by going out
second to first. The Bison5 a "

The Stallings men were satisfied with
one run in the SAM inning. Stroud,
who relieved Vowinkle after the first
inning, doubled. He went to third on
Starts hit and came home on Nee's
error. The Bisons' last two runs were
made in the sixth round, on Sharpe's

gle and two outs. The Bengals made
1t one more in their half of the seventh.
Merritt started to pitch for the home
team. Meyer was out. but Kelly hit
safely to left and stole second. he
raced over the plate when Jack Dalton
doubled. It looked bad for the New
arkers in the Bisons' part of the sew
enth inning. when Henline, the first
mar up, tripled. Two flies n an in
field u saved us. however. Had 1t not
been for a fast double play by Louden
and Agler, the Herd might hav Tailed
q couple of more in the eighth. Sharpe
singled, but Mcdonald hit TO Louden,
who touched the former Tiger first
sacker and then threw TO Aglcr in time
to get the ex-Tiger third baseman.
Truesdale walked and Killifer singled,
but Merritt was easy.
