(By HAM SMITH)


this season, the Kingman club won
over the Chloride team by score Of
6 to 5 Sunday on the local diamond.
The Kingman boys played fine up
hill game all the way and deserved to
win.
The visiting players started out as
if they were going to wipe the locals
off the map. Venable, first man up,
struck out, but Robinson dropped the
last ball and he reached first. White
singled, Venable going to third on the
play. King hit one to Archibald,
which the second-sacker let get away
from him and Venable crossed the
pan. White followed him shortly on
a passed ball by Robinson. Roy
Brashear, ex-big Lacquer, struck out
and jacobson singled. In some kind
Of a general mixup dad" King cross
ed the plate, Jacobson worming his
way around to third. Sais hit one to
first and was out, but Hansen's throw
was too late to get the fleet-footed
jacobson at the plate. Slate ended
the agony by flying out to short.
In Kingman's half, Archibald got
to first on an error. The coacher
there used bad judgment and sent him
to second. When he got there the ball
was waiting for him. cable" Bale
went out, Sais to Venable. Robinson
started a small riot by hitting his
first three-bagger of the day but Han
sen ended it all by striking out.
Chloride scored its only other run
in the third inning. King, first up,
singled and Brashear, with three and
one on him, soaked the pill to deep left
for a two-bagger. jacobson brought
King home with single. The next
three men went OUT in order.
Kingman's wonderful machine start
ed moving in the fourth. Hansen went
out, Brashear to Venable. Brown
struck out Webster, the new short
stop, here, showed why he was classed
as a dangerous ball player by singing.
Price brought Brown across the plat
ter by sending out triple. Grantham
kept up the good work, coming across
with a single, Price scoring. Clarke
flew out to White, ending the inning,
but not the scoring: In the fifth the
Kingman boys came back again and
made three more runs. Archibald
struck out. Bale got some part of
himself in front of the ball and am
bled to first. Robinson came across
with his second triple and "Abie"
scored. Hansen doubled and Robin
son registered at the home station.
Brown went out, Venable to Knorr, but
"Speck" moved on to third. Webster
came across with his second hit of the
day and Hansen came home. Price
sent Web along to the next station
with single but Grantham spoiled
the whole thing by popping out to the
pitcher on the first ball thrown to him.
1t seemed as the game grew older
that Tommy Clark, the local slabster,
improved and the visitors pitcher
grew worse. Clark only allowed the
Miners four hits and they were OBJ
tanned in the first three innings, while
the Kingman bunch got II bingles, 9
of them after the third inning, show
ing who was playing the steadiest
game.
In the seventh the locals made their
last and deciding run. Robinson, the
hitting star of the day, slammed out
his third hit, another triple. Hansen
struck out, but Brown came across
with what was needed, long sacri-
flee to right field, Robinson easily
scoring after the catch.
In the last inning the visitors
threatened to score but the play was
nipped in the bud by one of the pref
test double plays possible. Perry hit
one to Webster, who threw the ball
by Hansen and the runner went on
to second. Knorr sacrificed him on to
third and Venable, one of the visitors
best hitters, came to the plate. He
slammed liner just over the short
stops head, but Webster, leaping high
in the air, pulled down the drive and
caught Perry flat-footed off of third,
ending the game.
The local club had the best aggre-
cation on the field Sunday that has
