O'Brien Scores First Run


In the second Hardgroves control wa

Mullen disposed of, Dunekel singled to
center. When Tragesser pegged poorly
to Marcan the speedy first sacker an
nexed second base Lusk was hit lightly
by a pitched ball, while Schlei was given
a base on balls, filling the sacks. OBrien
virtually won his own battle by driving
a liner to left field which Mcbride over
hauled after long sprint. Dunckel scored
easily. but Schlei was held at second.
When Allison lined out to ELAN the Tur-
ties were retired.
Mcbride drew a pass a starter in
the second, but the Turtle battery di-
vined that he would essay a steal, ordered
a pitch-out, and the Baron was nailed at
second. Covington famed while ELAN
grounded out to third.
Coyle threw a thrill into the crowd
in the third session. Having singled to
right, he advanced from first to third
on successive grounders by Stark and
Mccormick. With Mullen at the plate,

delivery and nipped him at the plate.

Turtles Cinch Contest

Buck O'Brien led his mates in the fifth
in a hitting spree that cinched the strug-
gle. The chubby twirler singled to left.
Allison hoisted to Wordsworth. Coyle hit
to center for one bag, but OBrien con-
tinued to third when Wordsworth fumbled
the ball. Tragesser pegged to second to
prevent Coyle from stealing, but the
throw was low and misdirected. OBrien
scored, but Coyle was held at second.
Stark walked. Mccormick slashed a
drive between short and third that ELAN
fielded but fafied to handle, and Coyle
counted the third run.
Mccormick logged down to second, ex-
pecting to draw a peg from Tragesser,
but instead the Baron receiver whipped
one down to third and Stark was touched
out by Carroll. Mullen struck out, retiring
the Turtles.
Birmingham could do nothing with
o Brien's spitters in the fifth. while Hard
grove blanked the Mehphii in the sixth.
In the last half of the sixth Hardgrove
opened with single over second Just
as he reached first rain forced a sus-
pension of play. The inning was never
completed, so the score reverted back to
