Chicks lead by seven.

Chicks lead by seven.
It was a hard game to lose.
The Senators won not because
they were the better team but
rather because they drew a rabbits
foot in Cruickshanks double
After McKenna had put the Chicks
in the going with the single that
scored Marhefka, it was his misfor-
tune to have to field the ball that
won the game for Harrisburg.
1t was a stiff proposition for Rit-
ter, but he looked good every inch OF
the way. Chabek also worked like
a we'll oiled machine.
The only raw stuff came from the
ump He grew worse as the game
grew old and actually put up the
worst exhibition ever seen here.
His worst decision was in calling
ball on Cruickshank in the twelfth
inning when the man actually was
struck out. The decision cost the
Chicks the game. In the same in
ming Freeman cut Rudolph out of a
single down the right field line.
Enumeration Of his other mistakes
would hll a book And besides the
present Tri-State umpires are al
legged to be the best ever.
For ginger fielding the game was
without an equal. 1t was gilt-edged
baseball from the start
Harry Fritz got in front of iDetz's
sizzler in the tenth holding the run
ner to one bag
In the eighth inning the mighty
Rudolph tore off a long one to right
field but it was caught at third. Then
McKenna, Sharpe and Fritz worked
the relay.
In the ninth inning Ritter sent only
four balls across. Crist fouled one be-
fore fouliug out, and Barker and Cruick-
shank hit the first ones over for outs.
The Chicks had fine chances to win
both in the ninth and tenth innings. but
Chabek frightened and there was moth
ing doing.
Doc Kerr, shollenberger and Barker
were the only men 10 draw blanks in the
hit column. Sholly sent in to pinch for
Chabek and whipped a stff one into
Cruickshank's nit, ending the game.
The Senators trot out tonight, to be
followed by York in two games.
Allentown paid its initial visit to At
! lantc City yesterday. and celebrated the
occasion by taking the Boardwalk Buds
/ into camp. 5-2. The shore club started
a promising rally in the ninth, but fast

talies in this frame, three long hits
bringing across only one lone run. Har
