Twas hard sleddin' for the Smokes
TO make Il an ever break in the
double decker staged at the Island
ball park yesterday. ArDdt picked
Kaiserling to work against Matteson
In the first encounter and the Blenders
Kaiser getting away with the game In
easy style.
But Peaches Graham, of the Stogie
crew. was too much for the Bender
Braves in the second game. he allow
ing the visitors only four scattered
bingles.
While the locals we're not what one
would call hard sluggers they ran the
paths well and this was mainly re-
sponsible for the win.
There was one redeeming feature
in the first game. that being the
showing Of Jones. the Martins Ferry
lad. who took up the mound work for
Wheeling after Matteson had been
batted freely in the fourth and fifth.
Jones held the smuggling Blenders TO
two clean hits in the four innings in
which he OBLIGATED. Two inheld
bingles that should have been handled
are also chalked up against him. The
visitors would not have scored on
Jones had II not have been for some
rough stun pulled by he local inheld
in the ninth spasm.
The First Game.
In the fourth inning the visitors
Jumped on Matteson's offerings for a
trio OF counters. The trouble started
when Matty passed Manager Arudt 70
the initial corner. Bates then singled
10 left and both runner moved up a
base when TannehiIl sacrificed. Buzz
Wetzel. the old Stogie player, then
came across with a single to right
center which scored a pair. Sherry
sent a high one TO Meister in right
and the latter dropped the bah, every.
body being safe. on Nespo's infeld
bingle Wetzel crossed the gladstone
gum.
Again in the fifth the Bender Braves
tailed twice. Trouble started when
Cohey boiled over with a single 10
right. and once again Matty played
the role OF Mine host TO Arndt. pass
ing him 10 the initial station. Bates
then placed a measly roller in the
infield which could not be handled
fast enough and everybody was safe.
Tannehill then lifted a sacrifice fly
TO center and Cohey tailed. on Wet
zels infeld out he crossed
The last tally 81 the visitors should
never have been made. With one
gone In the ninth. Arndt singled
sharply 10 left. and when Bates laid
a roller down. Haley threw 20 head on
Arndt az third. the BAH rolling 20 left
Held. or course Arndt scored. but
when Bates tried the same stunt ne
was nailed at the pan.
The Smokes Tally Thrice.
