Whether it was because they were
playing against club near their po-
sition in the league, or whether they
have shaken of the old ink, cannot
be determined, but one thing Is sure,
the Ouakers, with General Red Aims
worth leading the assault, tore through
Fort Wayne like the Germans went
through Galicia, on their last trip,
and the Chiefs dropped the first one
of the series, to 0.
Red pitched a great baseball game,
in fact one Of the best he or anyone
else has pitched on the home lot. For
four quick. snappy innings. Red toss
ed the horsehide to the batsmen. but
II was always returned where there
was an easy chance for an out.
Quaker Standing BY
They knocked it to the box, they
knocked it to the short field, they
Knocked it down to second and they
knocked it to the outfield, but where
ever they knocked it there was always
some Quaker standing by. ready to
take the little sphere into tow and
send the Chief back to the bench.
IN the fifth, Red continued his up |
and down tactics, three up and three
down, until two were out M. Kelly
knocked what appeared to be the
third out. down the left foul line to
Reilly. and Arch was there to take
it in.
BGt sates we're against the Quaker |
slahman and a little pebble sent kel- |
Tvs grounder bounding high over
Reillv's head for the first hit OF the
contest Just to show what contempt
he tsd for hits of that variety, Red
tanned Glocksop, the next man up,
before Kelly had 6 chance to get his
wind on the run to first.
lafieid Was Sturdy
Ert the game was far from being
all Aireworth. With the one excep- !
ticr. when Kelly sent his scratch hit
thyoreh Reilly. the Quaker inield was
a stone wall that could not be pene-
trated and the only two real hits
made by the Chiefs were sent well
into the garden before they ever
touched the terra firma. Both OF
them went for doubles, and in both
cases. the runner stayed on second,
peacefully. while Red got the side out
Gcldie Rapp, at shortstop. was the
big factor in the early part of the
game, in holding down the Chiefs
percentage column. Rapp could have
covered little more ground On the lot
Yesterday afternoon had he been In a
fivver for Goldie was picking them
up all over the lot, from left field to
right field, and from third base to first
he gathered them in as fast as they
came, and eight Chiefs returned to
the water pail through Rapp's efforts.
Gygl Hurt Again
Gygli was in the lineup for part
OF the game, but a slide into second,
for the only stolen base Of the game,
upset his charley-horse and he was
forced to retire in favor Of Boss Gill
bert In three trips. Gygli got a sin
gle. score a run. stole base, and
had eleven putouts and an assist
which makes some record for man
that uses the frog step in his run
ming.
The Quaker's runs were made on
two little swatfests, netting four and
two respectively, and Rapp's triple
and Schick's single. Coveleskie start
ed the party that brought the Quak-
ers ND in front in the third inning
with a hot single to left, but he was
forced at second by Reilly's hard
bunt. Reilly was safe and Ainsworth
singled, followed by singles by Doni-
ca and pass for Hauser, which
brought home the first. GysH hit
an easy roller to third and Red was
forced at the plate. Crouch and Rapp
sinsled and the fourth run was across
before Crouch was nabbed at third
Two in the sixth came on Gygli's
single, Crouchs double and M. kei
ly's error.
