DOUBLE DRUBBING
GIVEN PARIS CREW
First Battle Proves Weird
Affair Which Geist
Wins Alone.
JONES WINS SECOND
Producers Run Wild on
Bases in First; Mix Boots
With Brilliant Plays.

Playing like a bunch of high school
foys most Of the time, yet showing
flashes OF brilliance to give them the
appearance OF world beaters, the Pro
ducers wound up their schedule or
home games for the 1916 season Of
the Western association yesterda with
a double drubbing TO the Survivors,
y TO I and 6 to 4.
The first battle went ten innings
and WAS one Of those weird affair
that makes everybody wonder how 1t
could happen and glad that 1t hap
pened to the other team as much as
1t did to the homo folks. Brandon
behan the game and lasted until one
had been retired in the fourth whom
he was SUNNI oned from the hill to
be released by the management. He
apparently didn't have a decent pray
er and besides relieving himself Of a
couple Of Wild heavee he passed two
bstsmen and gave up seven hits
Jones to Rescue.
With men on first and third Jones
called to the rescue, but the visitors
took advantage of his Jeff Tesreau
windup and pulled the double steal,
Dauer on the scoring end and Allison
on the other end of the steal. on
the next pitched ball Alison swiped
third. but was caught off moment
later when the squeeze failed. Then
Snapp popped a short fly back OF
BRADY. While the midget was seeking
the ball in tho sun Smith ran over
and got his hands on the sphere just
enough to drop it. Snapp seeing sec
Und apparently uncovered dashed for
the bag, but Jones used bis longer
logs we'll and was there in time to
take the throw from Brady and tag
out the runner.
Geist Wins Own Game.
Geist then mounted the hill and
gave UP but four hits in the six in
nings he worked. Finally, in the
tenth 1t was his blow that scored the
winning tally. After Smith had sin
gled sharply to left Geist drove one
down the right field foul line, send
ing the shortstop home from the in
itial corner and getting credit for a
three-timer.
Jones started the second game for
the Producers and incidentally he
finished 1t. At first he fooled the
Survivors with his delivery and then
he fooled them with his laugh, later
he fooled them with the stuff he put
or the ball and sometimes he didn't
fool them at all.
But n pitching was the feature Of
the game. At first the Paris players
as we'll as the fans were inclined to
laugh at his gyrations but later this
turned to admiration and respect. FL
nally when he picked out one of Car
michael's shoots and sent It far over
the left field wall for home run he
was granted n homo in the oil me-
tropolis for the rest Of h 8 days.
One OF the best fielding feats Of the
season was pulled by "Zenie" Coyle
in the first game when he leaped high
into the air after Clark's liner and
ORE gged down the apple with one
raw.
After booting the ball about the lot
for the greater part Of the first bat
tie Brady and Smith got together
willie Geist was In the box and pulled
some plays that set the crowd whoop-
ng with delight Their work In the
tenth inning cut off two hits and
probably pulled the game from the
fire.
Howard Murphy distinguished him
self with his slick work although he
