PUNCHED HITS GIVE JACKSON
VICTORY OVER THE SNAPPERS
BlNGLES IN THE FOURTH AND
SIXTH FRAMES SCORED THREE
RUNS FOR JACKSON, WHILE
sNAPPERs WERE ABLE TO PRO-
DUcE ONLY ONE.

An utter and absolute inability to
squeeze forth anything even remotely
resembling a bingle in the pinches en-
abled the delighted and surprised Law
makers to cop a win from the Snap
pers yesterday at Maxent park The
score was to 1. Williams, one of the
new fingers of the Jackson club
showed to advantage. Eight biffs was
the. sum total of the Snappers' efforts
ard under ordinary circumstances they
would be sufficient to hang up a VIC
tory, but Mr.. Williams was there with
the puzzlers when a bingle meant Il
run and would choke off rallies in their
embryo state
The enemy got started first and shot
the best offerings of Townsend to the
Tar recesses of the lot, but fast fielding
turned them into outs. Jackson was
fortunate, however, in punching their
fingles, for the port slider yielded only
seven safe drives. Then Burmeister
took up the burden and the Lawmak-
j ers were helpless before his 1S-karat
: flinging.
Mills busted things open in the
fourth frame after Stevenson had
biHed, by doubling to left, and ad-
yarced to third on Steele's single.
Robertson, who had a minute before
} been loudly applauded for taking a
foul ny. showed his appreciation of the
hand claps by the doubtful method of
rapping one so hard at Jewell that the
Liliputian shortsop had all he could do
TO choke off Steele at second, Mills
counting on the play
In the sixth Stevenson drew free
transportation and Mills again pied up
things with a rap down the third base
line which whistled as it went Steven
son crossing the plate. pulled up, and
NILS perching ION second. Steele hit
one that left tie bat ticketed for two
sacks, but Townsend threw up his mitt
and knocked it down, retrieving in
time to cut Mills off at third, but Steele
made second while the down was
being staged. Hawkins swung vic
iously and shot one to center, Steele
taking third, Hawkins differing second
Clemens then rammed to right for a
ack, Steele counting and Hawkins
making noble effort, but Gudger's
perfect throw killed him at the plate,
ending the inning
When the visitors came back in the
next inning they found Mr.. Burmeister
facing them and the game was over so
fan as their batting was concerned, the
niIte men coming up being retired in
The Snappers threatened in several
innings, but it was not until the sixth
frame that Williams 1et-up the least in
his work Miller delighted the fans by
opening with a double to left. He was
sacrificed to third aby Hamilton and
crossed the plate on Kirby's single.
Things took on a roseate hue at that
juncture, for after MctTill had gone out
to Mills, Hauser drove one between
second and first, sending Kirby to
third, but both persisted when Jewell
popped out to Robinson.
The last real spasm of the Snappers
came in the eighth and only resulted
in getting man as far as third. Ham
flton hit safely to center. Kirby caught
one so!dly and it started most auspi-
ciously, but Stevenson sprinted over to
tie score board and pulled it down.
After hitting at two wide ones to give
Hamilton a chance to steal, McGill
swung and missed the third strike
Iauser pushed another to his ia
vorite spot between first and second
sending Hamilton TO second. but, Jewell
ended the game by whiting.
The score:
