BREAK EVEN
WITH MALTA
Locals Win First Game of Double
Header by Score of 5 to 3.
SECOND GAME DISASTROUS
Phillips County Aggregation Take
Last Contest by Big Score. First
Game q Pitchers Battle.

For the first time this season, Nal.
ia won a ball game from Glasgow,
when in the second game Of double
header, Sunday afternoon, they came
out victors by a score of IL to 2.
Not content with their three former
defeats, Malta came down again Sum
day determined to recover their goat
which they left here early in the
spring.
In the first game Malta went down
to their fourth defeat. This game,
while not remarkable for it's sensa-
tional playing, was one of the most
exciting and hotly contested games
played on the local diamond this sea-
son.
For four innings neither team could
score, both Fox and Benson, the op-
posing pitchers working in big league
form. In the fifth inning Malta got
two runs over the pan on errors. In
their half of the inning Glasgow even
ed up matters by getting two scores.
Benson started the fireworks by singl-
ing, Nick Hahn hit high infield fly
which Collender misjudged, Hurry
singled, Mccoy followed suit and Mo-
void was hit by pitched ball. Hers
from, Chouinard and Bardill, the next
three men up were retired by the
strikeout route.
In the seventh inning Malta got an
other run. Apparently not content
with letting Malta have a one run
lead, Glasgow also got run in this
inning, tying the score.
In the eighth inning Glasgow added
two runs which won the game. Bretzke
singled and stole second. Benson was
given free ticket to first, Phelan was
safe on Collender's error, Bretzke and
Benson each advancing a base. Hur-
ly was again there with timely clous
and brought in Bretzke and Benson.
Malta had a chance to score in the
eighth after Crouch had singled, but
Jobst the next man up, hit to Movold
who put Crouch out at second and
doubled Jobst at first. In the ninth
Spaulding, Wysel and Blankenhorn all
hit to Mccoy, who threw them out at
first.
Benson and Fox were both in fine
form, the former getting eight strike
outs and the latter ten. Both pitchers
passed two men, but Fox was the
widest, hitting two men while Ben
son only hit one.
Chet Grace received frightful blow
on the cheekbone in the second inning
when he failed to get out of the way
of one of Fox's fast inshoots. He was
unable to continue in the game, Bar
dill going from right field into left
and Nick Hahn going into right field.
The fielding features of the game
were three double plays, one in the
first inning which Chouinard started
and one in the seventh which probably
saved several runs, Movold to Hers
from. In the eighth Movold started
another one, doubling Jobst at first.
Besides pitching stellar game
Benson helped to win his own game
by getting three hits in the same
number of trips to the plate. Mccoy
also hit for three safeties, one of them
for two bases, and Hurry fattened his
batting average by getting two safe
bingles, both of them bringing in runs
