EAGLES AT THE TOP.

the COlleglanS IN the twilight league last
Saturday evening by score of to /.
Guentner's twirling surprised everyone
for the youngster held the batting lead
ers to four hits, scattered thru the same
number of innings and famed ten Of
them. Amann, who did the heaving fol-
the losers, pitched fine ball, but his sup
port broke in the sixth and the Eagles
counted four times, more than enuf to
bag the contest.
Several brilliant plays were pulled 6f
and the game until the final session was
as tight q scrap as has been seen this
season, each team counting once in the
initial frame. Backer playing third base,
for the Collegians, pinched a pop foul off
Grams bat for the final out in the first
inning with two runners on the sacks, the
catch bringing forth considerable ap-
plause from the stands. Joe Groebner
robbed Amann Of an extra base drive in
the third by grabbing long fly over his
shoulder while on dead run and several
other good plays were made.
Amann allowed the Eagles but five hits,
three of them scratches, and struck out
seven, not one of the Eagles scores being
earned off his pitching. "Cy' Groebner
was the hitting star of the day, getting
two solid swats off Guentner in his three
trips to the plate. His pegging to second,
was also noteworthy, nipping four at
tempted thefts Of the keystone corner.
Joe Groebner was hit to start the game
and he stole second after Berg flew out to
Seifert. He went to third on passed
ball and scored when Lindemann beat
out a slow roller to short. Burk was
also grazed by the sphere but Amann
famed Dietz and Backer grabbed Grams
foul.
In the Collegians' half Of the inning
Amann singled with one gone and stole
second, scoring when Joe Groebner fum-
bled ICY" Groebner's grounder. Backer
was also safe on an error and Marti
walked out but Mayer and H. Vogtel
famed. In the last of the third Groeb-
ner singled, but Backer whitfield and Mar
it's tap was taken care Of by Dietz. With
two gone in the fourth an error and a
single by Huevelmann put two on but
Seifert's foul fly was captured by Burk.
Groebner's second hit and walk gave
them another chance in the fifth but they
could not push one over.
The Eagles did not have much Of a
chance until the sixth as Groebner check
ed them when they got on. Wheeler
was safe on an error with two gone in the
second and was nailed stealing. Linde-
mann reached the middle cushion with
two out in the third and Amann famed
Burk. With one down in the fourth
Grams singled and was thrown out at
second and then Guentner walked and
was also snuffed out at the halfway point.
In the fifth Wheeler was safe oh Backer's
error and was forced by Groebner, who
was caught in an attempt to pilfer the
second back.
Berg, first up in the sixth, was safe on
Seifert's error. Lindemann beat out q
slow one and Berg scored when Huevel-
mannn dropped the ball at first. Burk
poked one thru the infield, scoring Lin
demann, and he went to third on Grams
single to right, after Dietz famed. Burk
counted on an error by Amann and Grams
ambled home on wild pitches. Guentner
disposed Of three in the last Of the sixth
and the tie for first place was broken.
