TRIPLE WINS
FOR The CHICKS
.MCKenna'S BriVe In Tenth
With Marhsfka on Pulls
Game Back
ALTOONA HERE FOR
THREE GAME SERIES

McKenna, the youth Of auburn hair,
who watches over the right garden
while he is not batting his way to
the top of the Tri-State League made
It two out of three for the Chicks in
their Johnstown series yesterday by
tearing off a triple to center field that
sent Tony Marhefka across the pan
with the long end of a 8 to 4 score. It
was a mighty swat and came at a
time when the Chicks seemed to be
beaten Brazell had been touthed for
three hits in the ninth inning, one
OF them being an over-the-fence swat
by McClelland for everything in
sight and the score a tie jackson
pulled the veteran out while Poland
and Newton we're on and only one
man down, and sent Llewellyn in to
finish what seemed to be a lost game
for the Chicks. Llewellyn made bad
fstart by walking Conn, filling the
bases, but after that there was moth
ing doing for Johnstown Tightening
up Llewellyn measuring up to all
that he is capable of; struck out Ket-
ter and allowed Fallansbee 10 hit one
that forced out Conn at second.
Then the teams got down to the
finish The Chicks we're easy outs in
their last regular chance to break
the tie, Myers going out to Conn;
Weeks was put out by Fallansbee and
Kerr by Conn.
Llewellyn started the tenth by fan
ming Fink McClelland hit out to Nc
Kenna and Barker, who had batted
for There in the previous inning and
hit safely, proved an easy out this
time to Jackson
The Chicks opend their half of the
tenth with ,Llewellyn up. He grounded
.out, Fink to Fallansbee Marhefka
was safe when Poland dropped his
easy fly. Then it was that McKenna
drove the pill so far back Of Conn
that it seemed the ball would never
be found. II was a garrison finish Of
the first order that brought cheers
from the 500 fans who saw the game
Harry Fritz would have won the
game for the Chicks in the eighth in
ming, ahead Of Mecherly's single had
not a stumble tied him up in a run
down play between second and third.
However, the boys won out in the
tenth.
The Chicks started out like win
uers. Fink's error o. Mckenna's
hounder. Fritiz's triple to left, Jack
sons sacrifice and Mecherly's single
sent McKenna and Fritz across the
first time up and the lead held good
until the Johns half of the third in
ming when Mecherlys error, Hitch
cocks walk and singles by Poland and
Conn sent There and Hitchcock
Il across. The Chicks took the lead
again with two in the fourth inning
of Mecherly's single Myers sacrifice,
Newton's tumble of Weeks bounder,
Kerr's sacrifice and Brazells double.
There was nothing doing for either
side after that until the Johns got
their chance in the ninth half. Nc
Clelland started the trouble with a
homer over the left field fence Bark
er singled and Hitchcock sacrificed.
Poland walked and the bases we're
loaded Newton sent Barker across
with the tie up run Then il was that
Llewellyn went in. He ended the
Johns batting streak and with the
aid Of Marhefka and McKenna, won
the game.
Glattz. whose decisions at Harris
burg on Decoration Day got him in
bad. had a run in with Newton Glatz
had called Newton out at the plate
early in the game and in the argu-
ment Glattz is said to have promised
to meet Newton in the club house
after the game. The men met but
there was no trouble beyond the ex-
change OF a biz bunch of words. The
Wilmington fans had no kick on
Glattz's work. The score
