FIRST FROM HENS
Locals Bunch Knocks on Beebe
and Pull Game Out of Fire
Duffy Pitches Good Ball EX-
Cept in the Second.

South Bend kept tight grip on the
pennant chaaces yesterday afternoon.
while battling against Toledo, al
though for a time the Topsies gave
the Hoosiers good cause for worry
The Benders had one large inning
with the club and the Mud Hens had
a bad inning in the field at the same
time and this gave the homeboys an
easy win. The count was 10 2.
This puts the Hoosiers no nearer TO
the Ducks the Saginaw club having
won from Battle Greek. but Battle
creeks loss puts the Benders only
one full game back of second place.
The DuCks and Crickets battle today
and tomorrow and South Bend Will
be benefited either way the results
go.
Duffy was used on the hill for the
first time in a week, Ed having been
doing nothing more strenuous for the

duty on the third base line. His last
game was against the Ducks when

rst round which the HOOsiers were
unable 10 overcome.
