Rip Reagan and his crew Of bali
tossers chased the jinx that has been
working against them out of the park
yesterday and handed defeat to our
boys to 8. Fillingem did the hurl-
ing for the visitors and his splitter was
a puzzle to the Muckalees. Stewart
tossed them up for the home boys and
was hit at critical stages.
The visitors took the lead early III
the game and were never headed. They
hit when hits were needed and fielde /
like fiends whenever our boys hit the
ball on the nose. Davenport in CEN
ter and Brazier in left for them robbed
our stickers of three pretty hits.
HomeRun Chancey poled one over
the fence in the sixth for a home run.
But unfortunately for the locals there
was no one on at the time. Bill and
his crew threatened in the seventh, bu.
they stopped short one run. Then Rip
and his boys waded into the ball and
sailed the game away by making a
couple more.
The game was slow and uninterest-
ing at all stages. The Muckalees play
ed consistently but FfIlingem was too
much for them. He gave up but 8
hits, and they were all scattered in
addition to3the tanning seven. In the
eighth frame every man who faced him
missed three.
The game this afternoon will be cali
ed at O'Clock, so that the members OF
both teams may contest for prizes at +.
