Krmagae. The day was perfect for ten
mis- and the drawing of the Japanese
champion against the former Princeton
university expert attracted another gal
lery of more than 5000 spectators. Church
made short work of the oriental expert,
his smashing play at the net being too
much for Kumagae. Church rushed to
the net at every opportunity and his &C.

returns proved negotiable in the major

alert and made many gets that an ordi-

ever, he piled up numerous nets and outs
that counted heavily against him and
although he passed Church many times
with back-hand. cross-court and sideline
placement drives he never appeared at
any time to be in a position of a victor.

FRED DERRICK DELIVERS

The Barons won the game, however, IN
the seventh session. Dick led OH with
a bunt down the third-base line, which
he beat out. Eddie Mcdonald laid down
neat bunt and Dick romped to second,
scoring a moment later when Fred Der
rick laced two-sacker to left-center.
The Barons had numerous other
chances to score, but failed, owing to
the missing lick. The Pels' lone chance
was in the fourth, when Higgins doubled
with one down, took third ON an inffeid
out, but died there. Only one other Peli-
can reached second, Sylvester being
walked and sacrificed to second in the
fifth.

opened and was sacrificed to second. Mike
Ifauser's drive was tagged by Thomas
and Danny was held at third. Cation hit
to short and Hauser was forced at Sec
ond, Danny scoring. That ended the Bar

center and Red Smith, batting for Black,
singled to right. Eddie Mcdonald lifted
a Texas Lacquer back of first and Mike
raced to third and Red to second. Eddie

the tieing run by some nifty base-running.
Cecil swiped second but Emil Meusel
raised long fly to certer, which Allison
got under for the final out. Umpire Rud-
derham then called the game.
Dixie Walker had the best of the argu-
ment with Karl Black until the seventh
inning. Blackie was hit freely through
