In what the old-timers declare
was the best baseball performant e
ever pulled off in this burg, our
boys took Equality into camp Sat
urday afternoon to the tune of to
8. Both teams were in tip-top con-
dition and put up a high-class arti-
Gle of ball. This victory was es-
pecially pleasing to the local fans
aHd--piayers, as they were pitteu
against one of the best teams in this
section.
So far our ball artists have lost
only one game out of a total of
seven played and if they continue
at the clip they have been going in
the last few games, somebody is GO
ing to have 20 hustle if they nose
us out of the championship of the
Green River Country.
Our lanky collegian. Barnett, was
selected to do mound duty for the
home bows and our classy new re-
cruit Thorpo was right there with
the goods when it came to the back
ed to dispense curves for the visi-
tors and he had as his battery-mate
the old-timer. Ray Arlington, who
amply demonstrated that he is not
too old to come back" Both
pitchers were in fine fettle, but
Barnett had a little the better of
the argument with the Kronosi-e
singer.
Although the total of hits was
rather high, yet the score-card is
not fair criterion of the class of
ball put up by both teams. The
slab work was good, but the chief
beauties of the game were develop
ed in the field. AS every player on
both teams played big league ball,
it is hard and hardly fair to try to
pick the stars, but several plays
were so good that they deserve
mention.
In the third inning Tinsley's
throw from left field to catch the
runner at home would have caused
a sensation anywhere. Recovering
a clout which had bounded against
the fence in deep right, he threw
the ball with terrific force and per-
feet accuracy toward home. Strik-
ing the ground about ten feet from
the home plate. 1t sped on the short
bounce directly into Ihorpe's hands,
beating the runner by a fraction of
a second and shutting out what
looked like another sure score for
the visitors.
Another spectacular play Of
the game was a running catch by
Richard of Thomas throw in to 3D.
The crowd was treated to a nice
bit of headwork and skill by both
Richard and Thomas when the lat
ter recovered hit to deep left,
waited for Richard to cover third
and then put the speed behind the
spheroid. Running backward, the
Oil Magnate's third-sacker received
the throw on the bounce with one
hand and whirling, neatly tagged
the runner.
Among other pretty plays pulled
OF were a double-Garrett to II.
Everly to Brown. for the visitors,
and a brace of stunts of the same
Barnett to Robertson to
King and Richard to Robertson to
King, for the locals.
The run-getting was confined TO
the third and fourth innings for
Equality and the fifth and sixth for
Hartford. AS result of a few time
ly hits In the third. the visitors
broke into the score column and in
the next inning they added couple
more counters. But that was the
best they could do; they had struck
their pace and Barnett had the sit
uation well in hand throughout the
OF the game. The only
