NICHOLSON
TOO MUCH FOR
SHORE BUDS
PhiIIie Recruit, Opposed to
Stanley, Wins for the
Chicks
ALLOWS FOUR HITS
UNTIL NINTH INNING

Nicholson, breaking into the Tri-
State League against Stanley, who
has won sixteen of his twenty-five
games, beat out Atlantic City here
yesterday afternoon 4 to 2. The new
Chick twirler looked good from every
angle. Stanley got over more strike
outs than Mich It is true, and broke
even with him on hits, but Nick show
ed better control and an ability to
mix EN- up that cannot be equalled
in this company. Moreover he felded
his position splendidly, got away with
a hit and otherwise put up a game
that gave the Chick fans fresh cour-
age. In only the fifth inning did
Stanley do any phenomenal twirling.
In that half after Groh was down,
Weeks doubled and Kerr and Nichol-
son singled, scoring Weeks ahead of
Marheflzas walk which filled the
pans. Tightening Stanley famed Nc
Kenna and Fritz in order, cutting the
Chicks out of the runs they had to
make in the seventh inning TO beat
the Buds.
There was plenty OF brilliant bali
playing IN the game. In the fourth
inning McKenna stole home while
Rementer, Newton and Boyle were
pulling like demons to run him down.
In the ninth inning after Rementer
and Stanley had singled IN success
sion Joyce drove one TO deep center
that looked good for a score, but
Jackson was in at the drop and the
game was over. In the same half
McKenna stopped one off Heist's bat
that looked dangerous.
Tony Marhefka broke IN with his
FIRST home run on the local lot. He
hit the pill back OF Castle in the
seventh inning after Nicholson was
on, and made the circuit when
Rementer was unable to field the
throw to the plate by reason Of
Nicholson getting between Butch and
the ball.
In the fourth inning Meyers figured
IN an odd play. He had drawn a life
and while McKenna was stealing a
run TO third seeing a ball back Of
the third base line that he thought
was in play and believing that the
Buds had forgotten It while arguing
against Walkers decision on Nc
Kenna at the plate. Tex started for
the pan. But the ball Tex had spotted
had dropped from Walkers blouse.
The ball in play was in Stanleys
possession and as Tex pushed his way
through the arguing crowd Stanley
tagged him and Walker added the
finish Tex kicked against the ball
that had gotten him in bad. but Wal
ker said the out was legal and Tex
had to stand for It.
The Buds hung up their first run
the first time up. Joyce walked, Boyle
sacrificed and Castle struck out.
German hit near second that looked
like a soft chance but the ball got
back of Fritz, scoring Joyce. Hirst's
walk, Remembers sacrifice and Joyce's
single scored Heist in the fifth in
ming. After that Castle was the only
man who got TO second station.
The Chicks started scoring in the
fourth inning. MoKenna opened the
stanza by walking. and moving up on
Fritz's sacrifice. Jackson was passed
only to be caught at second. Meyers
drew a life and a second later Nc
Kenna stole over. Meyers was tagged
on the break play. Weeks double
ahead of singles by Kerr and Nichol-
son scored Fred IN the fifth and
Marhefka's homer back Of Nichalson's
single scored the Chicks remaining
two runs. Wehrell was hit in the
back by one OF Nicholson's drives in
the fourth inning and had to quit
The score.
