Tex Meyers slaehing drive 10 the
center field posts while Fritz was
down and Jackson on first in the tenth
inning, brought a third clean up for
the Chicks yesterday afternoon.
Trenton was the meat this time. Bert
Conn had with him a bunch Of clout-
ers that made the Chicks look queer
until the seventh inning, they having
been able to collect only two singles
OF Moser until that session, while the
Tigers had laced six hot ones OF
Allen Russell and we're their only
run TO the good. In the sixth Shollen-
berger and Russell got 10 second and
third stations respectively. but the
Chicks artillerymen had not the am
munition. They had TO walt until the
lucky seventh before they could tie
up on Moser's walk Of McKenna,
Sharpe's double to right and Clay's
overthrow on Sharpes return to the
plate 10 head on McKenna.
In the eighth and again in the ninth
sessions, while the Chicks had
chances to finish, they lost their bat
ting eyes once more. The 5000 fans
pulled hard for the extra run, but the
tally was not forthcoming. Meanwhile
Russell was holding the Tigers safe.
They had walioped him some up until
this time, but the youngster had
tightened and was pitching like a
demon. In his last three innings
only ten Tigers faced him and Of these
he famed three. walked one and let
out one hit
The tenth session opened soft for
the Chicks. Dunn. Mitchell and Moser
being easy outs. FRITZ opened the
clean up for the Chicks by going out.
Poland TO Conn. Moser winged jack
son and when Meyers stepped up the
fans called for a hit from Tex. He
had failed TO connect on two previous
occasions while he had the chance to
break the score and had fallen down.
Moser thought him soft again and
shot a low ball at him. II was the
one Tex had wanted and when he had
finished his say the pill WAS against
the center field fence and Jackson
across the pan with the winning run.
II was brilliant finish through a
brilliant hit from the pole OF brill
liant player that won for the Chicks
that ever to be remembered game and
incidentally stuck the boys In first po-
sition in the league rae
The presence Of the big bunch OF
loyal roofing fans made the game of
more than the usual interest. Incl
dentally, Craven had his troubles
The players heckled. 30 tight was the
game. a win for either team would
have put the winner at the top Of the
race. In the sixth inning Marhefka
hunted one down the third base line
The ball was a clean foul and Craven
so declared It. but Jackson believed
Poland haS pulled the ball out and ar.
gued against Craven's decision on IN,
play and when Tony was called bacl
from frut jackson protested. victory
for the ChlckA however, disposed o.
the protest.
Another row Kicked MP IN IN,
seventh. Sharpe had lift into right
field for two bases while McKennf
was on, the drive advancing McKenns
to third. Clay overthrow the ball tc
the plate. allowing McKenna tS
scorc. Conn argued that McKennf
was entitled TO only one bag on IN,
play and for FIVE minutes Conn and
Jackson fought out the point. Jackson
contending that the drive was a dou
BILE and that McKenna certainly haC
the right to score on Clay's overthrow
Craven thought 80 too. II Is duo era
ven to say that despite the hclu
against him, he worked l.s we'll as an,
ump that has been here
Sharpe, McKenna, Tex Meyers and
Mitchell we're the batting iends
Sharpe got away with double ans
two siashing singles; McKenna Will
two pretty singles; Meyers with hil
never to be forgotten double; ConE
with double and a single and Nit
chell with a single and the home rur
drive over right field fence In the hftl
inning after two Tigers had beer
slain and sending up the lone rur
that for nine hard fought innings
seemed like a million against thu
Chicks. Harry Fritz stuck IN a third
bag steal TO add to the general pla-
and Msrhefka again flashed in his olt
garden. Sharpe and Shollenberge'
demonstrated that they are fas
enough for tri-state ball.
