KEWANEE. Ill, July 12-Directing
q peppery attack on Whitaker In the
last of the ninth, lib Kurke, High
West, Bill Fox, Eph Randall and Home
Run Hubartt conspired against Big
Chief Queisser's Indians and had them
beating a lively retreat when the odd
run was sent over the rubber This
quintet of B. Ms got together as the
crowd was leaving the park and de-
cided to put on genuine old fashion
ed rally. The count was to / against
the home folks and Whitaker was go
ing fine but his DOWNFALL was delayed
until the final stanza OF the game
which gave the entire series to the
Pennys
Kurke started the big show with a
long double to left center, good for
start Up comes High West and
cracks single over second base while
Kurke slid into the plate with the run
which the B. MS had been endeavor-
ing to get for the last six innings.
West took second on the throw to the
plate and SAKE after trying to lay one
down, breezed. Fox singled and it
was hit because Whitaker fielded
his slow grounder to second too late
to get West who was leading off
Randall then dumped another infeld
single and was safe. With three on,
Hubartt was the right gent to do the
batting. With two and two, he drove
q hot one through the infield which
counted West with the winning run
and also would have scored Fox If
necessary. There you have tia good
old fashioned B. NJ. ninth inning jam
boree which lifted the fallen hopes of
the fans and sent them from the park
all smiles.
SAKE was given perfect support and
won his game. Until the ninth inning
he allowed but three hits, two of which
brought In runs He pitched one of
the best games since he became a B.
NJ. Two of the biffs were of the
scratchy variety His control was
good and his curve bali was going
great SAKE also figured in getting the
first run by single.
The arrival of Infielder Natuck, who
is brother of the Chicago White Sox
Nattick who comes from the defunct
Oklahoma league, was stationed at
short and Hubartt was on third. The
change seemed to work well.
Fox started the battle with single
and was sacrificed, by Randall. Hub
artt drove hot one down the third
base line which Bresnahan partly
stopped and Fox nearly made home on
the play but was tagged at the plate
on close call. Penny singled with
one down in the second, but stuck at
first SAKE beat out an infeld hit in
the third. Fox pushed him along on
a sacrifice and Randall grounded out
to pitcher Pinch Hitter Hubartt
promptly doubled to center and SAKE
counted. Carter grounded out to third
With one gone in the fourth Penning-
ton and Kurke singled but West re-
served his swat until the ninth and
SAKE flied to left Carter opened
frame No. with single and tried N
steal on the first pitched ball He was
forced when Mattick trying to sacri
nee hit to Whitaker and the play
was made at second Mattick swiped
second but Pennington and Kurks
Aea out. West started the seventh
