cOLLEGlANs WREST LEAD FROM
EAGEDS.
BY winning tight combat from the
Eagles last Saturday evening the Col
legians jumped to the fore in the Twi-
flight League race. Only the BARRIERS
and the Collegians remain indicated
now and as they will meet this week, one
or the other will go down. The Eagles
had won two contests from the Builders
and one from the Professionals, con-
sidered two of the strongest teams in the
league, so it was up to somebody to stop
the mill team.
The final score Of Saturdays game was
to 2. Both teams put UP a fine exhi-
bition in the fielding end Of the game,
having only two errors on each side, and
number Of difficult plays were pulled off.
Amann's work in the box for the Col
legians stood out in great prominence
for he pitched the best ball seen in the
league so far. He allowed the Eagles
only two hits, one of them scratch, and
famed seven of his opponents. Both Of
the Collegian's errors were costly and
had it not been for these mistakes the
Eagles would not have scored run.
Schneider twirled for the Eagles and
was in good form, but the Kollege Kids"
found him for six hits in the five innings
that he pitched and took another from
Wheeler, who went in the box for the
Eagles in the sixth. Moreover, the
Collegians managed to get their hits
when they were needed most, getting
two in the first with walk, and three in
the fourth.
Leo Seifert played fine ball for the
winners, getting two smashing hits in
two times at bat, getting hit the other
time. He also stole home on Burk and
handled his two chances in the field in
faultless fashion. Joe Groebner was the
Miller star, getting the Eagles only clean
hit, scoring run, stealing three bases,
and handling five chances in the field
without a skip. Joe Wheeler made the
other hit and accepted four chances at
short.
The Collegians got the Jump on their
rivals by getting run in the very first
session. Mayer was passed and went
to second when Vogtel beat out bunt.
A double steal put the runners on second
and third. Seifert banged out hit,
scoring Mayer, but Vogtel was run
down going to third. ''Wenz" Groebner
and lBacker rolled out to the infeld.
Amann was in such great form at the
start that not anEagle reached first until
the fourth inning. After the first the
Collegians could not get a man to the
initial corner until the first Of the fourth.
Leo Seifert began the trouble then by
slamming a hit to center. Groebner
duplicated the feat and the bases were
choked when Backer punched a single to
left. Amann flew out to Guentner in
short left. Seifert pulled delayed steal
of home. Waibel lofted high one over
the infeld which Joe Groebner dropped
but picked the ball up in time to force
Backer at second. Koehler famed for
the third out.
In the last of the fourth Joe Groebner
led off with dandy clout to center for a
base and stole second and third, scoring
on an out. Sonntag walked and stole
second but Burk flew out and Spaeth
famed. Huevelmann began the fifth
with a single and went to second when
Spaeth threw the ball away. He took
third on wild pitch and scored when
Spaeth missed throw to catch sHeeves''
off the bag Mayer walked and went
all the way to third on Vogtel's sacrifice
bunt. Seifert was hit and then sCy''
Groebner banged long fly to right.
1 Mayer held third and scored after the
catch, but Seifert had already run past
second and was doubled up. The score
{ counted, however, because the runner
had crossed the plate before the third out.
Guentner was safe for the Eagles in the
] fifth when Backer muffed his high fly.
