In the most exciting and hair-raising
game of the series Ninth defeated Ma
tivity for the second time in a week. and
at that with the much-tooted Kelly I'm
the box. The game was fill of plays Of
the hair-raising sort made by both teams.

ting Harris at second. retiring the side.
Nativity played the better game in the
field. some Of the stops of Johnson and
Harry Smithson being Of the spectacular
kind. Thompson work behind the bat
and Ralph Smithson's work on first were
some of the features.
Big Six Brewer and Milton Broome
were the only ones able to gauge KEEL
ly's delivery successfully. making five OF
the six hits garnered by their team.
big Six was big factor in the win
ming of the game. Besides getting a
three-bagger and two for two bases, he
held up Bell in fine shape. and his throw
ing TO bases was excellent.
Bell and Kelly had each other on their
STAFF. Bell striking out twice and Kelly
three times Bell had the better of his
opponent at all stages of the game. He
allowed only to walk. struck out ten.
and five hits We're all that Nativity could
get Off his mystifying delivery.
Cohilrs fielding was one of the fea-
lures. as we'll as that OF Burns, both
youngsters nabbing flies that looked good
for hits. and ii they had gotten away
from them the score would have been
much larger.
The winning of this game gives Ninth,
clean slate for the series. they having
beaten both the Printers and Nativity
each two games. To keep them on
edge Ninth Will play Ingram Monday at
go and probably the Pumping Station
Wednesday.
