There was a great pitchers battle at
the local ball lot in that second OF
the Denver series when Pepper Clark
faced Buck O'Brien. The son Of Erin
finally worked into much the better Of
the argument and won in a shutout of
to 0.
For six innings nobody scored While
the pitching and fielding kept the cloudy
day crowd on edge. The field was slip
perry from a light shower and more
rain fell during the game which made
The inheld somewhat treacherous.
O'Brien was in full control of the
Kayy slusgers all the way, allowing but
one clean hit and one scratch. CARR
gave eight scattered hits all told, sew
eral Of which We're beaten Dunts ana
scrapings. Clark's support was not SO
cratic as it was unlucky-
The Kaws had the first chance to
score Of the game This came IN the
fifth They threatened again in the
eight but both times BUMPED into the
double plays of Coffee to Lloyd to Lind
saw. In the fifth Whitney hit easy to
Lindsay and narrowly escaped beating
O'Brien to the sack. Chapman then
slammed one through O'Brien and
Lloyd choked it down but could not
get s. grip. Concordia Krepps follow
ed his old side wheeler by pulling on
Buck for walk. Only one was down
and the chances were looking good
when Crfsp WallOped one into COnee Tor
the double down of himself and Krepps.
Again with one down, Krepps bios
son1ed out with the only clean nit OF
the Kaw tribe. He had two strikes
and the Red Sox farm hand evldently
thought he could slip one across on
the brush trimmer. Not so only What
was the use-Crisp bounded another one
down to coffee and for the second Tune
he and Krapps went down CoHee 10

tough knots But along in the hIth
with two gone O'Brien rolled one 10
