| Pitching and 10 Hit Hard.
With Penner and FRANKIE announced
as opposing pitchers for the last game
of the season between the two pennant
contenders, it looked a safe bet to play
Penner to win. Franxe has not been
going good, while Penner was expected
to hold the Eganites. Contrary to dope
Penner was weak-so weak in fact that
he suffered the worst beating that has
been administered to him this year
The Muskies hit at will. and but for
some foxy outfield work. especially by
Murphy, the total might have been
greater. True an outfeld error. by
Torkelson, was responsible for the
opening of the first rally, but no great
blame should attach to pitcher play
ing the outer garden, especially when
the same pitcher shortly after nails the
opponent profiting by his blunder at
the plate by a pretty throw.
Penner got away well in the first two
innings, mainly because of some good
field work, Murphy getting three of the
six put-outs. In the third Durham flied

the plate by a true throw from Torkel-

by the Esanites. Hasbrook singled and
Hruska was safe when Penner over
threw first after fielding mis- bunt. Both
baserunners advanced a base on the
overthrow, and Hasbrook then scored
on Durham's sacrifice fly. FRANKIE

Hruska. Runser took second on the

Two More For Good Measure.
But Egan was not satisfied with six
runs. He begged for more and when
none were forthcoming in the fifth he
lost his temper. Fs-.s.
His gang responded to the call In the
sixth and hurried two runs over the
pan. giving FRANKIE a lead sufficiently
