In the eighth inning Hemphill Of
was on first base with one down. The
next batter grounded to Hawkins,
first baseman for A Company. Hemp
hill, instead of going to second, ran
back to first. Hawkins fielded the
ball, touched the bag and then touched
Hemphill. Umpire Leayelle would not
give Hawkins the double play and
Hawkins thinks he gave him the
double cross when only the batter
was called out.
Cullens stole second in the seventh,
the ball rolling into deep centerfield.
Cullens then romped down to third,
