The Knights of Columbus turned
one little single, the only thing that |
looked like hit that they made off
Thompson Of the Wheel club on the
fair grounds Saturday, into run and
that was the only run of game that
was real pitchers battle between |
| Thompson and Blake. The first game
of the afternoon, between the Athletics
and the Fort Drummer teams, was an |
other corking good encounter, result |
ing in victory for the patched up |
| Athletics by a score of to ,. Errors
| contributed to all but one run, but ii |
was a hard-fought battle all the way
Johnson of the Athletics looked as5
if he was in for another trimming when
both s. Graves and Larry hit him safe
ly to open the first game, Larry s hit
being a Texas Lacquer back of third
that Kennedy tried to pick up on the
run and barely missed catching. But
Johnson struck ont Gray, and Thaycr
captured flies from the bats of Ander-
son and Urus, the latter catch being
pretty running one. After that John
son allowed Just two hits.
Happy Atkins muiIed $. Graves s
short fly to open the third and Sid
took second on the error. Larry banged
one at short that hoped over Kai9ht s
shoulder, which put runners on second
and third. Gray tapped to Johnson,
who held Sid Graves at third for mo
ment and threw to Chase. Chase saw
ho was not ON the bag and stepped back
and touched it, getting Gray. lie then
hurried his throw to the plate and j
went to the backstop, S. Graves and
Larry scoring. Anderson and Urus
! popped to the infield.
The Athletics got one run III the last
i half of the third when with two aolsss
, Filion was safe when RUPERT missed
his third strike. Filion stole second
clearly and scored when Urus mis-
judged knight S long drive and then
muffed it,
: The score was tied in the fourth,
; when with one ont Kennedy was safe
] on q Texas Lacquer to left. Atkins was
lpassed and both runners advanced on 4
wild pitch After johnson had gone
out, w. Graves to Anderson, Ruppcrt
threw high to third to catch Kennedy
mapping and the youngster romped

. but Kennedy came near scoring in
n the sixth, being put ont at the plate
, on fast play by $. Graves. In the

double failed to score q run for the
Wheel club in the first inning of the
second game. Kirby was safe when

steal third. Thompson whanged one
over Fitzgibbons S head in right for a
double, but a fast relay held L. Dun
levy at third. Morse missed three
good ones.
After that when a man got on base
I it was the exception. Each pitcher
famed the opposing side in order in
the fourth inning, Thompson having the
top of the batting list against him
and Blake starting with Thompson,
himself
The X. of C. was guilty of poor base
running in the fifth. B. Dunlevy was
safe when White s rather high throw
forced March to 90 into the ali

no one out
