Blu Smith
y was surely cuckoo little con-
tsst.
Ger sight innings Il was an awful
affair, g regular boob game as far
ss the Crackers were concerned. They
had made only three hits on RUDY
Summers and Il looked as though
thev would newer make any more.
The score was then Ave TO nothing
against the Crackers. for Chappelle
was no puzzle TO the guys he used 10
work with and his support was much
70 the cheese.
II HE last half Of the eighth was a
1 rnernora BILE session Joe Agler
opsued 1t with q single. Dunn walt
ed-and walked. Robe, batting TO
Chappelle, flied out. Long walked.
And then came Welchonce- the hero
Of the previous days game. All he
DID this time was to triple h1t th3
scored three men and put Summers
in a blue funk Whereupon Alper-
man arose and damned the ball 10
the score board for a home run--and
;his tied It up Five runs IN one In
ming for tie up! Vow
IND you ever notice that when a
l. team comes from behind they
come Just far enough TO tie the score
and then stop there2 il happens
nine times out Of ten. In Friday
game Il was obvious that the locals
had Summers absolutely on his last
legs With only one out and two
dangerous batters in line It seemed
as though little more OF the same
steam would have put over the win

and then got in an awful mess by
letting Flick and King hit. Coyle
then grounded TO Alpcman, who
started a double play and pulled the
Crackers through chat inning.
To the surprise Of everybody Ell
berfeld elected ta use Harry Cove

Considering the Polc's uncertainty
and the ease with which he is usual
~ ratified this was a brave choice
Hardly another manager in the world
would have taken that chance.
But Covelesigie stood the gan.
Every Cracker went up 20 the plate
with strict orders TO wait him out
II started all right too, when Bislaud
walked Agler sacrificed him along
but there he croaked Dunn waited
like a statue but CoveleslGe had the
plate located and Joe finally popped
