Ball and Improving Opportunities.
Although Knight, who was on the
slab for the Athletics Saturday in the
game with the Knights Of Columbus,
allowed only four hits, they were so
punched with two inield. errors as to
yield maximum of runs. The Ath.
lctics lost their first league game, bv
score of to 3. 1t was a game
that, in spite of errors, was featured
with some really fine Unfolding Jim
Clune opposed Knight and had it not
been for a misjudgment on the part
Of Blake of Angler s hard liner, which
went for a triple, and for the Knights
one error he would have escaped with
not more than one run against his
record. AS it was, a pass which he
issued and wild pitch contributed
to the two in the last inning.
kaine turned in two brilliant run
ming assists of hard hit grounders and
Plumb corraled a long foul in real
solomon style before the first of the
runs began to trickle over the plate
1t was in the first of the third that
Knight lost control of the situation
With one down Busby uuloaded a sin
gle. Kennedy, who was forced to play
second because of scarcity of in
field material, got mixed up with an
ugly grounder from +. Dunlevy's bat
Plumb pulled off his fancy catch of
Fcrriter' S long foul and then Blake
unloaded a double to right, scoring
Busby and Frank Dunlevy. Bernard
Dunlevy got his one hit of the game,
scoring Blake and taking second him

from knight in his bare hand and
slammed it on to the base runner for
q clever out when the infeld star of
the knights was caught taking too
big a lead.
The Knights fourth run came as
the result of Frank Dunlevy's double
to center, which was good for that
distance because Taylor was playing
too close, Kaine' s wide throw off Fer
ritter, which pulled Angler off the bag
and Blake s out Kennedy to Angler.
The Athletics started in the sixth
when Plumb worked a pass knight
fouled to Frank Dunlcvy. Blake mis-
judged and ran in on Anglers rip
ping liner, to left, which went for
triple, scoring Plumb. Angler was GU
at plate on a peculiar play. Filion rap
ped to Kennedy, who threw to tn,
plate, and Busby, in taking the throw
completely covered the plate, Angie
rolling over him. Angler did no
touch the plate and Busby did no
couch him. Angler, with Busby hold
ing the ball, did not dare to return t,
the plate and Busby was not tallin,
any chances of leaving his station
Clune ran III, took the ball from Bus
by and ran and touched Angler

Filion, meanwhile, had reached secon

in the seventh, but lasted lon
enough to hold margin or one run
With one down Kennedy was passe
and Holt was safe when Bernard Dur
levy lost his grounder. Both runner
advanced on a wild pitch and Kahn
was passed, filing the sacks. Plum
clipped a hard one towards short tha

Knight flied to Denning in short rigl

three runs. A pass, single and tN
doubles accounted for them. The tv
in the sixth were due to three single
