HOOsiers Victors.
Helmer's four bagger over the right
centerfield screen i'm the first with a
man on and Jimmy Eschcn's brilliant
catch and double UP throw 10 second
iE the ninth were the two big factors
responsible for the Hoosier 4 TO , vic
tory over the Battle Greek Crickets
Sunday afternoon.
The two scores resulting from Hell
mer's home run created the handi-
cap the Wagner's were unable To over
come and Eschen's play prevented the
visitors from staging the ninth round
rally that had been sctarted.
Although the Foodt9wn gang failed
10 score during the five innings Hill
worked. the Eoosle~ right handler
Choked the bases twice. But both
times ne settled down and whitfield the
presiding batsman thereby depriving
the Crickets OF the much needed
markers.
Bad Throw Helps Crickots.
Korfhagen made "a bad throw in the
bic play. the heave resulting in the
only counts secured by the visitors.
Williams had already contributed two
singles and q free pass TO the Food
town troupe when the bad toss TO first
was made.
1T was three up and three down for
Crickets in the first, Hill whiting two
of them. Broder went out Wagner
10 Badger. Kreski hit KOrfhagen in
the back Eschen drove a hard one
into right but Haig grabbed it. Hell
mer came To the plate and took two
strikes while Larry pilfered second.
Kreski eased one slow and high and
Helmer lifted il above the signs Both
runners trOtted across the pan Lake
closed the inning with an infield out.
The Wagner bunch were unable
TO connect with Hill in the second. \
third tally was made by the HOosiers.
HiH himself being the predominant
factor. With two down, Claffey ham,
mered one across second base. The
Texan hurler sent him TO the plate
with Il double into right
Bases Are Filled.
Hill slid into his first notch of wor-
ry in the third. With two out the
Bender cragman walked kreski.
Streeter then singled into left, Kres-
XII getting 10 the keystone cushion.
The sacks were covered when Hill
gave Blank four bad ones. Things
were looking up for the visitors and it
was a GOOD bet that they would score
Duncan, one OF their best hitters was
at the plate. But Herbert was on
the job. nutting his spitball into COM
mission and Duncan looked foolish
when ne swung thrice. The Hoosiers
went down before kreski three in a
row.
The fourth proved fruitless for eth
CT troupe although BeaH got single
10 right Hill again succeeded i'm get
