LUDLOW GETS
TRIMMING
In THE HARDEST FOUGHT
GAME OF THE SEASON THE
sMoKESTACKERs DEFEAT
THE HARD HITTING PORT
LUDLOW TEAM.

The worst scare that the reiuvenated
! Smokestackers have received this sea
son occurred last Sunday when Port
Ludlow appeared on the local diamond.
| For several anxious moments the game
seemed lost beyond recall and only time
! y hits by Everett and bad fumbling by
Ludlow restored the equilibrium. Ev-
erett started off like a three times win
ners, two hits in the first, one a homerWn
| by Giddings over the center fence, net
ting three runs Ludlow came back in
the second with two runs and Everett
scored again in the third. The fourth
was a tame session but in the fifth
things happened. With two down Krause
stepped on his feet and in wink the
bases were densely populated, Levin
helping things along with an error. Four
runs came over and the count stood to
for Ludlow In the seventh krause
played double 0 for a repeater and got
it. With two down again he fumbled
al easy CudIlCe am DtIoIc lHt ollohe-
stackers could turn around two more
runs had scored. This left the set-up
to with the home fans howlng for
krause's blood and the Ludlow rooters
filling the air with loud acclaim
1t was about this time that we were
groaning in spirit but we didn't know
the reserve strength of Healy's hard hit
ting bunch. In our half of the sixth
they fell savagely on Kneeland and drove
him out of the box and Reardon was
called from left garden. Reardon had a
fast ball and crossfire that had the
boys swinging their heads off but the
damage was done. Ludlow copped an
other in the ninth but it was all they
could get and the game was over.
Ludlow has the strongest lineup that
has appeared here this season and had
the locals guessing all the way. They
are a hard hitting bunch and able to
keep the opposing pitcher in trouble all
the time. Fifteen strikeouts show that
Old Reliable Singleton was on the job
If he had been off color we shudder to
.think what would have happened
At times the game was marked by
town lot ball on both sides, but it was
so mixed with heavy hitting and sensa-
tional stuff that the fans were on their
toes till the last man was out
You may talk all you like but what
makes a hit with the fans is free
hitting game. The writer has seen all
kinds of baseball and watched the
actions of the fans. Everybody likes
the inside stuff where hits and runs are
as scarce as democrats in Snohomish
county offices. But if you want to see
a crowd 60 raving crazy. let some lusty
young athlete step up and smash the pill
over the fence for homer. Isn't it the
truth?
The team from the L. S cruiser Colo
RADIO comes next Sunday. Don't harbor
the deusion that Everett will have
something easy. This aggregation held
Bremerton to an s to score in a ten
inning game last Sunday Bremerton
has been playing like a house afire all
season and is rated one of the best semi
pros in the state SO there is plenty of
chance for trouble next Sunday.
