With the announcement that Rich

hurting, it was foregone conclusion
! that the game would be an tight
one, and with neither team being sue
cessful extensively, in the fest five in
nings, it became evident that the break
of the luck was to play part in deter
mining the issue.

visitors from counting run.
Harrei Shows Generosity.
The break came in the sixth, when
the generosity of Harrel figured prom
inently. Up to that period the Arsous
had but three men on the bases, Ham
merschmidt having singled and Har-
ris and Lindberg having been given
free trips. Harris had occupied second
base momentarily in the fourth, by
reason of his free passage and a clean
steal
1t was Hammerschmdt who put the
home crew into the running in the
sixth. leading off with j beautiful two
base drive. Richardson essayed to ad-
vance his receiver with sacrifice but
the performance went wrong, at least
insofar as the "Bunnies" were con-
cerned. Ludwig. Brown and McEvoy
crowded on the ball and after some de-
lay one of the trio dug it out Of the
earth and relayed it to first, where
Harrel was coverings Harrel however,
became excited at the delay and failed
to hold the ball when it reached him,
Richardson being safe and Hammer
schmidt advancing to third.
In this pinch Woody fouled out to
Hamilton and Ryan rolled a grounder
to Harrel. It was here that Harrel
showed the capacity of his brain
works. Hammerschmidt, who is no
speed boy, had taken lead off third,
with every intention in the world to
attempt to count Harrel considered.

schmidt increased speed. turned and
threw to first to nip Ryan.
Ono Score is Enough.
Harrel had an easy chance and ap-
parently would have retired Ham n,.-
schmidt without effort. but his 30
ment's hesitation proved the undoing
of the Dummies. AS it later transpired
Hammerschmidts tally brought VIC
tory to the Ansons. There was never
home team, and despite late rally by
past third
second in the seventh. He beat out
an infeld hit to Fletcher. and con-
tinued to second when F1etcher's throw
went wide. He persisted there, how
ever. and in the eighth the side re-
tired in one, two. three order.
Some Reckless Base Running.
Twice the "Bunnies" became threat
ening and but for some wild base work
might have tied the count. Richard
son took things easy until threatened
and then frightened. and on two oc-
casions whitfield the batter for the third
out when runners were on second or
third So
In the fourth the Dummies" might
have registered had they been con-
tent to have played the game safe.
Harrel singled, advanced on Collins
sacrifice and went to third on passed
ball. Hickey rolled an easy bounder
to Lindberg. making the chance to
score exceptionally hazardous, but
Harrel took the chance and after be-
ing chased up and down the third
base line, was tagged as he attempted
to get back to third. Hickey went to
second on the out. Lindberg failed to
hold .McEvoy's grounder and Hickey
reached third. Then a double steal
was attempted and Hickey was out at
the plate.
Lose Chance IN Ninth.
Three safe hits were grouped in the
ninth but still the Dummies could not
score. Collins singled, following Mars
retirement on strikes, but he attempted
to steal and was thrown out at Sec
ond Hickey and McEnvoy singled in
turn, the latter's drive putting the first
named on third. Again the double
steal was attempted and Hickey raced
into certain death at the plate for the
third out.
Richards prevented a, bad situation
in the sixth by a remarkable one
handed stab Of line drive from Har-
rels bat. Brown occupied second base
at tine time and q sac hit meant a
score. The ball was high over first
Init the local boss made supreme
effort, did neat bit Of high leaping
and nailed the ball with his gloved
hand.
Brown Pitches Good Game.
While Brown did not seem to have
much on the BALI he was very eff !
fective, allowing the home team but |
three hits. His deliberate funeral
