kins' crack right handler was holding
the Hoosiers 10 six hits Monday after
noon. the Beavers pounced on Curt
Williams IN two innings and batted out
Co l victory. showing the Smith
ganglet back again 10 third place.
Failure to produce hits at critical
moments lost the fray for the HOOs-
iers who did some spectacular field
ing, Ben Koehler being a big factor
IN triple play in the ninth. The un-
usual play stopped what appeared to
have the earmarks of another run
bee by the Beavers. Two doubles, one
when Curt had the bases fun brought
out additional thrills
DOnnolly and Brady welded the
guns which brought across the three
scores for TIE Jenkins troupe. Con-
ways boot and Eschen's single sent
koehler across for the lone HOOsier
count in the fifth.
