grounds Saturday afternoon. 10
crowd of half-frenzied fans that had
watched over the diamond scuffie half
the afternoon, it looked as though an
extra session or two would be necessary
to get a verdict, but those extra heavy
punches already mentioned gave the
Italian Athletics the long end of 9 to 3
score and the game was over. Because
a baseball argument between the l. A.
r. and the seminarians is never really
finished until the last gun is fired, 1t
was one of the most satisfying exhibits
of this new season. Both teams were
in tip top form and the scoreboard shows
to what extent the neck and neck ele-
ment entered into it
Neither Weafer nor Tommy Davidson
heavy htters. At times each OF those
two twirlers was touched Tor long as
lance slaps. And at other times, nelth-
err was touched and the swatsmen on
one side AS well as on the other found
themselves chasing visions OF a ball that
never happened to be just where they
expected to find it. Suffering somewhat
from the sore arm that sent him out OF
the box on Memorial day, Weafer asked
to be relieved of all responsibility on
the mound after the sixth Up to the
seventh he had been worked Tor total
of seven safe ones for a total OF hve
tallies in two single innings Young
Tomasi. the one best bet that Spaulding
boasts this year, was assigned to box
honors and a solitary single was the best
that Goddard could coax from him. The
hulk of the strikeouts went TO Davidson,
but Tommy was not dangerous enough
at critical periods to prevent some very
costly scoring. Fielding honors were
about even, with neither team nncork-
ing circus performances OF the highest
order.
David led off in the first with bin
gle to center and advanced peg on a
passed ball Wits alarming attitude
toward a grounder which Weafer sent
his way was responsible for the first run.
Asain in the third David pounced on a
choice morsel from the pitcher and sent
1t into left stealing second at the hrst
opportunity, and scoring on Weafers
double to center. Weafer's canter nome
was made on Comollrs sacrifice ny,
which was handled by Tierney in left.
With two down in the fifth, Comolli got
n life on Rogers bad luck or worse and
trotted around from the first position
for the fourth run on Calcagnfs two
Dagger, which came near being homer,
by the way. In the sixth, Ricciarelh got
against the ball for another double and
scored on Weafer's straight laced single.
Joe Comolli got one of the doubles that
were being distributed quiet freely in
the seventh but he got caught in stretch
ing it and the next men were out in
order.
The rest of the scoring story is soon
told. The Athletics got their innings in
the ninth with the knowledge that moth
ing but a fusillade would keep the game
from going into extra chapters. Joe
Weafer whose good, big bat had figured
so prominently in the days doings, shot
swift one to the fence and roasted on
second. to register a moment later when
Manager Calcagni lifted the ball into
the long grass back of first.
In the two innings that Goddard
punched its bingles Goddard scored. In
the other seven innings they neither got
the hits nor punched them. Singles by
Witt, Rogers and Hastings in the second
needed only errors by Tomasi at third
to garner three runs. With the bases
full, Bailey went out on an infield fly
or the havoc might have been greater
Weafer got his roundest mauling in the
fifth. Gray was an easy out, and first
to hit was Tierney, who bent the bat in
sending the sphere to center for one
base Hoernle doubled and Tierney
scored. Witt let a slow one down to
Weafer and was out, but Rogers did the
right thing by the faculty member of his
team by pounding the ball for two sacks
What might have happened if he hadn't
been caught at second is predetermined
Efforts to break the tie established by
the Italians were fruitless and the side
