NATC0S SMASH
YOUNG HAFNER
FOR IS SCORES

Forgetfulness of all they ever knew
about the game, coupled with the Nat
cos sudden falling upon the offerings
of Anthony Hafner in the third and
fourth innings, spelled defeat for the
Seeders Saturday afternoon at Ath-
letic park. They dropped the game by
the score of Is to I. Take those two
innings out of the game and the Seed
ers would have won with the greatest
ease, as the winners made but three
runs more while the Seeders were an
nexing seven.
The hitting was even, both getting
10 safe wallops. The winners connect
ed at opportune times. BY virtue of
their victory. the Natcos are again in
a tie, only this time it is not for sec
ond place but for first, with the Ad
Hills and the Nigrans.
o. Craycraft proved that he is YER
satile player by catching pretty
game. When Hafner was getting his
bumps he went into the box and in the
four inings that he was in not the
semblance of run was shown by the
Natcos. Anyway the race is closer
than it was last year

Those New Paris Grays lived up to
form in the game with the Vigrans
Sunday taking the long end of 10 to
0 score. The blow was pretty much
of a shock to the local team as they
never figured the Grays could beat
them and then to drop the battle by
such decisive score makes them won
der just what was wrong.
For this game the Grays did bit
of strengthening, drawing from the
S. A. l.. to do it, Claude knight was at
short for them and Everett Haas did
the backstopping. Both worked in
good, knight in particular, with three
safe hits out Of four times up. His
batting was perhaps the feature Of the
game.
Three umpires were used before the
game was over. Gilmore getting the
first chance and being asked by the
Grays to retire as things were not
going their way. Then Clark, the
Grays representative, was given ride
by the Vigrans. Hiatt came out of
the battle unsecured, his work being
satisfactory to both teams.
The Grays did their scoring in the
second, ringing up runs, and count
ing / in both the third and fourth.

TA|LORS CHUCK
ASYLUM team
into BASEMENT

In the battle between the DIV. and
Easthaven teams for the honor Of be-
ing the cellar champs, the latter team
won out and is today slowed away in
the dark hole with the stigma of de-
feat to the tune of 10 to 4.
Wildness by Stacks beavers was too
much of a handicap for the rest of his
players to overcome. Ten bases on
balls were handed to the winners. The
hitting was even, both aggregations
cracking out six safe ones but the win
ners outfielded their opponents, show
ing even better than they did in the
last game, when their Improvement
was noticeable.
Roy Moore. the diminuative short
stop for the "Tailors" furnished the
feature of the game when he stepped
to the plate with two men on and
caught one of Brunton's fast ones
squarely on the beak and rode it out
over the fence for a home run. 1t
was some clout. This puts the Tail
ors but one game behind the Seeders
and they expect to climb from now on
Johnson lived up to his form a week
ago and twirled pretty good game.

AD-HILL DRAG
LEADERS DOWN
FROM PEDESTAL
S. A. L. STANDING.

Smashed into a millions pieces was
the Vigrans perfect percentage in the
S. A. L. Saturday afternoon at Ratliff
Park when those demon sluggers the
Ad-Hills went after the offerings of
Minner in the most threatening way
and won the game 8 to 0. This was
perhaps the best game of the season
and goes to show that the teams are
rapidly settling down to playing real
baseball.
The victors have been pegging away
since their first week, putting up
nice article of ball and capped the
climax with this nice win over the lea
gue's leaders.
Fenton Cooney featured and but for
his harrassing catch Of a fly ball
which in reality should have been ia
would hardly have gotten away with
the game. Three double plays were
pulled off by the striving Vigrans and
every one of them was fast. The win
ners out-fielded and outbatted the van
pushed aggregation and therein lies
the reason for their winning. Just how
good game it was is shown by the
fact that it required but an hour and
twenty minutes. MINER pitched a nice
game striking out and not yielding a
single free trip to first while Brady
too twirled in mid-season form but
gave four free trips to first. He set
eled down, however, when hits meant
runs and was complete master of the
proceedings.
