CHLORIDE DEFENDERS MEET BITTER DEFEAT
 ON LOCAL DIAMOND

overwhelming defeat at the hands of
 the local team, the scoring being 9
 to 2. The Chloriders were poor horse
 hiders and Umpire Rivers ayers that
 it was the most 1opsided contest in
 which he has ever shouted play bali
 Howard Smith of the home team
 opened the game with a 'big six' arm
 and maintained his skutOut delivery
 throughout the fray. He allowed but
 one walk, six hits and fIickered eight
 opponents, while the rival twirler gave
 four tickets to first.
 Prices followers pounded him for
 2l bingles. So neavy was the hit ng
 Of the local boys that every member
 nf the nine drew at least one hit.
 Bonelli, Price and Carr were the comets of Kingman's swatsmen. A
 diminutive person with a powerful
 swing materialized in the person of Billie Carr, Kingman's centerfelder. Out of five trips to the platter he smothered the ball for that number of hits. In addition, he filched three bases. When it came to stealing bases, Carr was not alone, for "Red" White sneaked away with four per fectly good bases. Hooters were as scarce as European peace treaties. The local fans picked on Kansas rooter who hailed from Chloride.
 The Kingman team counted its in- itial ace in the premier round when Carr hit clean for a single, Price hit safely after Red" White sawed off a one-sacker. Carr stole second and scored on Prices heavy wallop. Bo- nelli blasted homer to left center. When the hard hitter ridged his spikes in home plate, the visitors began prep arations for their pilgrimmage back to Chloride. There was but one man of the defeated team to push the but ton and he was no other than Center fielder Mournier. He was the initial batter of the day and "Smiddy" gave him his base rather than extend the strength of his working arm. The next two men were knocked down by strikeouts, but Herbert's long single gave Fournier his first marker. In the sixth frame he was safe on Bales error and scored on Chilburg's single to White. Each inning the winning team romped home with at least three runs.
 Chloride's moundsman opened the game with some good hurling, but be- fore the inning was one-third over Kingman's three-ton hitting, coupled with the weak-kneed support of his followers, presented the Hub city ad- herents with four tallies. Singles by Carr, Bales and White netted three in the second. In the third Butch" George walked for the second time and was encouraged by the single of Smith. Carr came through with his ever-ready slamming and lifted sin gle to left. Bales was counted out at first, but glided over with the opening run of the inning. While was hit by a pitched ball and took his well-earn- ed base. Price walked and Roy Brashear cleaned the bases with a | sizzling double to center. Bonelli rip ped a single to the same spot and Brashear donated the rubber for the sixth run. Butch" flickered, retiring the side.
 A disastrous third inning was fol- lowed by a pernicious fourth, also very eventful. Beaver, wearing his first suit of ball togs in five years, began to rejuvenate. He whacked a two-bagger to left and rounded the initial sack like kid on a sled. Smith grounded to first and Carr attached to his record another hit. Bales ci- phered, Goldie to Herbert, and White sent single through the enemy's end sacker. Price lambasted a three-bag- ger out where players were svcarce. He was stabbed at the plate by some good noodle work on the part of 
 Scoring had by this time become a habit and it was only matter of talk ing the club in hand and hammering in more runs. To garnish his high grade firing, Smith cut loose with a three Dagger that almost netted him home run, his hit netting the same result ( as did that of Harry Price. Brashear | led off with long fly to center and z Bonelli draw a walk. George hit for . ] single and Beaver was hit by ( pitched ball. Smith hit a triple, but was nailed at the plate on the throw ( ,y Fournier, who possesses a deadly wing. Carr came through with his I fifth hit of the afternoon and Bales vas cornered. GOldie to Herbert Bales
