hit and Durhum's error had enabled
| the Visitors to score twice and knot the
count in the seventh inning of the final
game between the Muskies and the
Ansons Friday, Lees single and theft
of second and Prough's safety to left,
on which Martini made poor play,
in the eleventh round, gave the Boyle
men 3 to victory. But for erratic
| work by Durham on SHOWS Srounder
! and a poor peg by Martini on Proush's
smash. the Muskies would have won by
a score of to I.
The concluding battle was a hurlers'
duel between Flanagan and Penner
Each allowed the same number of hits,
ten, hut the Musky finger had the bet
ter of his slab rival in the way of
strkeouts, breezing eight men to Pen
ners seven.
Both Teams Start Well.
Both moundsmen displayed true form
in the early part Of the game. Penner
weakened in the fifth and allowed three
the Muskies got to the Cleveland re-
cruit for two safeties, which. with an
error, chased home the second run of

ance against the visitors in the OPEN
ing game until the fourth and in this
instance, a pretty play by Hasbrook

| drive to the clubhouse. Lunte attempted
to score and would have accomplished
his desire but for perfect peg to the
| plate by Hasbrook, who relayed the ball
| from Durham.
Hruska Tagged at Plate.
Both Hruska and Flanagan, demon
strating a careful batting eye, singled
with one out in the third but both
blows were wasted when RunSer's tap
to Ryan caught Hruska at the plate
and Reinhart famed. Singles by the
Musky battery in the fifth had made
| the first run for the Muskies. After
| Durham and Hasbrook had been re-
tired Hruska singled to center and
| Flanagan drove one to the same ter
ritory. Runser followed with a double

but was thrown out.

were out in the sixth. Reinhart. first
up, went down on a fly to Lee and Eli

slow one to Eunick and Martini singled
to Lunte. Sheldon raced toward third
on the hit and Prough, in an effort to
retire the Musky first sacker at the
far corner threw over Eunick's head
permitting Sheldon to score. Martini
went to third on the error but was
stranded there when Durham rolled
| out.

role capably by cracking hot linel
past Hasbrook and straight at Durham
The local right fielder allowed the bal
to get by him and fumbled the pill

diamond, LeBeau and Lee had SCORED

where he remained while Pennel
struck out and Murphy was disposed
