Continued from LIST page)

when the ball went wild on an at
tempt by Gardner to catch him
mapping. Mildren brought in En-
UNISON with a single and pilfered
second but was put out trying to
score on drive by Ross to center
held, retiring the side. There was
much hilarity among the Hurley
rooters at this stoge of the game,
but their cup of joy was rudely
spilled in the following frame when
Ashland got two around and again
took the lead. Whitman opened up
by cracking single into center
field. Carlin attempted a sacrifice
and was safe at first when Darwin
threw wild, Carlin going to second
before the ball was retrieved and
Whitman taking third. The next
man fouled out and when Whit
man and Strong attempted the
squeeze play Harlow was put out
at the plate by perfect fielding of
Strong's bunt. Carlin moved to
third and Strong to second and they
both scored on a single by Bins
field. Carroll was sent in to relieve
Darwin for Hurley at this time and
the side was retired. Both teams
drew goose eggs in the following
frame; ditto for Ashland in their
half of the fifth while in Hurley 5
half of the fifth they again went to
the front by registering twice. A
single and an error put Ross and
Wolski on the points and both
scored on a drive by Post over the
left field fence. In the sixth neither
side scored. 1t was then almost
4:30 and time for Ashland to leave
TO catch the train, and when the
seventh act opened all Ashland
pulled for a score to make it tie.
And it came to pass, for when John
son, the first man up, pasted the
pill to the center field fence the
ball rolleY nto a hole and before it
could be located Johnson had made
the circuit. The Ashland fans
swarmed onto the field and gave
vent to their enthusiasm with lusty
wells. The next three up were re-
tired in order, including Whitman,
who was called out on strikes. A
little later the enthusiastic demon
stration shifted to the Hurley side,
the locals again taking the lead in
their half of the seventh. Mildren
opened up by driving one over the
fence for two stations and scored
on a single by Ross into right field.
1t was then announced that the
game would go to a finish and that
the train would be held twenty
minutes. There was nothing doing
in the eighth frame but in the last
act Ashland got two around, result
ing i'll another hilarious outburst
i'll the visitors camp. Their Wis
ions of victory went aglimmering
in the locals half of tie ninth,
however, and Hurley had an eX-
cellent chance of putting the game
on ice. A drive over the left field
fence put Ross on the second peg,
Wolski hunted and was safe, Ross
going to third. Secor also LAID one
down and Ross scampered home
while SeCor made the first sack,
Wolski going to second and both
advanced peg on the next ball
pitched. Gardner hit Post in the
ribs, filling the bases and with no
one down il sure looked roSey for
Hurley. Faul made a noble effort
but the best he could do was a
dribble to Gardner, who tossed the
ball home and Wolski was an easy
out. Richards went out on an at
tempt TO hunt on the third strike
and the side was retired when
Bernardin, who hatted for B. Secor,
went out pitcher to first. The Ash
land boys then left the park and it
was all over, Following is the
score
