TWILIGHT LEAGUE,

Three to three tells in part the story
Of the most intensely exciting game
yet seen on North Hill field. Everyone
expected a battle royal and the largest
crowd of the season was there to more
than realize their expectations En-
thusiasm simply ran riot and the bois-
ferrous demonstrations of the hundreds
present could be heard all over the city.
But the game was enough to arouse
the most dignified or timid to enthu-
Fsilasm and it did. From start to
finish it was full of sensational playing
and those intense moments which
make baseball our national sport. 1t
is a great credit to each team that
they did not blow up at some critical
moment under such trying conditions.
The rooters seemed to favor the Whit
mans, but the manner in which the
RECALLS pulled together after a bad
start and fought doggedly- until they
finally tied the score in the fifth inning
won many to their side and brought
forth much praise.
How 1t Looked Officially.
The Whitmans We're first up and
Wolfe and Burkhart greeted Barrow
with safe drives A Olsen struck out
but Wells dropped the ball and had to
throw to first to catch him. Wolfe of
course started for home from third and
MOrgan'S return went wild, allowing
the first score. Johnson, by the Bar
row. Morgan route and GilmOreS fail
ure to connect retired the candy boys.
Julian Olsen led off the second round
for them with hit but Wells nailed
him at second. Borras lived on an
error, stole second but again Wellss
whip worked to third. Ortell whitfield
out. Barrow seemed to weaken in the
third and it looked as if it was to be
mo medicine Tor me, III take Whit
mans" SeckinSer led off with a clean
! fyrrrN I-c nd 81 h i'm
with a single to right, going to second
on the throw in. Burkhart advanced
Wolfe with another hit and visions of
slaughter were easy to be had. A. OIL
sen struck out and Johnson secured
the fourth and last hit of the inning,
scoring Wolfe. Gilmore famed. Oh
sen came to the bat with two down
and men on second and third. Cries
for a hit came but something entirely
unexpected happened. The Rexalls
took a chance and pulled off the pref
test play of the game. Johnson was
we'll off the keystone when Barrow
wheeled and threw to Bell beside him.
Burkhart, as was expected, started for
home but Bell pegged perfectly to the
plate and the speedy Whitman was out
by two yards. For a moment the spec
tators seemed spellbound and then
broke out in we'll deserved applause.
The risk was great with such a speedy
man on third hut the play was perfect
and most timely. Barrow was master
of the situation from then on, getting
| five strike outs in two innings. His
/ total for the game was ten.
Not until the third could the Rex
| alls find Seckinger when, with one
| down and the score to to 0 against
| them, Barrow got their first hit and
| promptly stole second. scoring a mo-
ment later when Ortell booted Wells's
| 81 hrlf
| hit for two bags, scoring Bell. A mo-
ment later he was caught off second.
| Nothing in the fourth but BOnifay's
| hit Again with one down in the fifth
and the score to 2. Barrow hit safe
and stole second. Wells hit by first,
scoring him and tieing the score. while
! the crowd went wild. Bell and FiCkas
went down however. and the score
stod to 5 as darkness claimed its
right.
The whitmans started off well and
seemed sure of victory. Seckinger
worked splendidly throughout but the
| RECALLS punched their few hits which,
/ with Ortell's one error, saved them
from defeat The Recalls have estab-
! Iished a record for coming up way late
and spelling somebody's hopes. Twice
| Wells has broken up games this year
with timely hit in the last of the
/ fifth.
| Wolfe's splendid work at short and
at the bat and the Whitmans' battery
work were their features. Barrow
made a peculiar kind OF a record. He
| allowed seven safe hits which almost
! cost him the game, but on the other
| hand he struck out ten opposing bats
men, which is a record itself. He batted
perfectly, stole two bases and scored
two Of the Recalls three runs besides
