HE FIRST TIED THE SCORE BY
HITTING ONE OVER THE FENCE
IN THE EIGHTH INNING AND
THEN WON IT WITH ANOTHER
DRIVE TO THE SAME SPOT IN
THE TENTH.

KTafts two circuit clouts, both of
which cleared the left field fence with
many feet to spare, won the game for
the Swamp Angels yesterday after
noon. the first coming in the eighth
inning with a man on base and the
second in the first half OF the tenth
after Henry had robbed Pensacola Of
victory by diving back OF second,
making a wonderful stop Of Hauser's
drive and then recovering himself IN
time to toss the runner out at first.
Berger was racing home with the run
that would have won had Henry failed
in his lightning like work. The game:
Clarisdale 5. Pensacola 4.
Bonn and Thomas were the opposing
twirlers. and the latter had the best
OF the battle. although he was going
badly in the early stages of the game.
He became better as the game pro-
crossed and finished strong. while
Benn was hit more freely in the late
innings than when he went. to the
firing line
It was the third inning before a run
was scored. Then Pensacola put two
across. Gudger opened with a two
bagger to left and took third when
Benn was tossed out second TO first.
he scored a moment later on passed
Fall. Miller drove one for two bases
crossed the plate when Hamilton hit
10 short, Hamilton going out when the
catcher threw TO second after arguing
with his jumps on Miller being safe.
In the first half of the fourth Clarks-
dale took one, when Russell hit one to
left and scored when Bernsen drove
one TO the same spot for a brace Of
bags.
The Snappers came back in their
half OF the fourth and the fans
brea<hed a sigh OF relief as well as
across the plate Incidentally this
round netted Harris $3.50, for he
lifted one over left field fence after
Hauser had hit safe and swiped second. i
The game then went along unevent- !
fully until the first half of the seventh /
and fans were leaning back with that |
feeling of safety when the Swamp i
Angels came to bat Through the
grace of Jewell. NIoneyrnaker landed
safe on first and took second when /
Benn issued free transportation to |
Thomas Henry singled. moving both /
runners up a peg and Moneymaker
crdssed the plate when Russell hit to /
HaSrfs, who preferred double play to I
cutting the runner off at the plate.
King ended the inning by hitting TO
Gudger.
The Snappers failed to count In their |
half but the game still looked safe, /
although Benn was being hit hard. In |
the eighth Bernsen, who cavorts with |
grace around the third station. stepped |
TO the plate and raped the first one
pitched to the center field fence. He /
stopped running when he reached |
third, but did not tarry there long, for /
Kraft. who came to this city bearing |
the reputation of being pitcher and
not hitter. lifted one over the left I
field fence and galloped around. This
tied the score and some one passed 1
the hat. but fans were not in the mood .
for donating, although some did chunk
= few quarters into the lid.
The Snappers failed to connect safe
" in their half OF the eighth. and the
Swamp Angels likewise drew a blank /
although they hit the ball hard and
often.
In the ninth Pensacola came near
breaking the tie. but near scores do |
not count Berger, the first ntan UP. /
reached third. from which he should |
have scored, but failed to take q /
chance when Long hit TO the pitcher
and was tossed out at first. The two |
batters went out. but it was only by a /
phenomenal stop back of second and /
throw to first by King that prevented
Z. score.
4 The tenth began with Kraft again at
bat He walked up with a heavy club,
swung it about his head couple of
times. sized up the distance between
tie home plate and the left field wall
i'd hit one. Many did not wait to
see the remainder OF the game, or even
to watch the pill descend, for the bal
started from the bat like a bullet and
seemed to gain velocity as it continued
it's flight The game was over and the
fellow who passed the hat when Kraft
hit his first homer did not venture
forth again.
Pensacola went out in one two.
three order.
The same teams today and tomor-
row. then the Snappers take the road
for a ten-day swing around the cir
cult
