their best chance to score.
The fifth inning was the frame in
which the Muckalees scored most OF
their runs. Five runs came as the re-
suit of hits, walks, errors and good
base-running in this frame.
The Hornets sent Peister in to work
against the Muckalees and he went
good for one inning. Then Americas
began to clam his slants and he was
yanked at the end of the sixth, and
Mitch Davenport made an effort to
initiate a pitcher. Mitch pitched pref
ty good ball, but his delivery reseI4-
bled a demonstration of the modern
dances more than it did ball players
delivery. Pratt worked for Americas
and aside from the first went strong.
In the third he struck out all three
men that faced him.
The Muckalees fielded in errorless
style and their playing was f1awless.
The fans enjoyed the game and left the
park convinced that Americas was still
in the running. They felded their po
sitions like big leaguers, ran wild on
the bases, and had enough pep and
ginger to supply every team in the cir
cult.
Red Dacey will probably work to-
day, or Manager CASTOR may use his
new pitcher, sievier, if the boy shows
enough before the game to warrant i.
If you didn't see the game read this
running account, and you will under
stand why we say Americas is going
to be in the first division within a
