score was to 3, acquired in thirteen
long, scrappy innings. Boyle,s men got
all snarled up against too snags dur

right handler named Tomlin, whom
Brown put on the slab, and the other
was Umpire Link Boyle continued the
game under protest after the ninth in

The cause of the protest was the al
legged interference of Durkin with
| Catcher Brown while Durkin was bat

| time and had stolen second. Link
called him safe, then sent him back to
first when Clinton protested that Dur
kin had interfered to prevent Brown
from throwing Lee out. Finally he
called Lee out, which retired the side.
Anson's Defense Breaks.

the Ansons. In addition to not being

causes that allowed the visitors to get
away with the last game of the series.
A little steadier pitching and little
sharper fielding, provided the Ansons
had held up in their hitting, would
have put the game safely away.
But the longer Tomlin stayed the
more effective he became. After the
first four innings, when the Ansons
had their chance, they were able to
count a scant four hits in nine innings.
During these latter innings the Clin-
ton defense grew stronger, so there
was not much real show of winning
Rush's Support Poor.
Rush might have got away with his
game in spite Of his wabbling in the
early innings and the order to pass
Miller in the first round. But after the
fourth. when Clinton tied the score,
the locals still had an even break for
a win had the home teams defense
been gilt-edged.
Clinton got the jump on Rush and
his team mates by taking the lead in
the first inning. Wilkes and Nolt, the
first two up. both singled to left. Sears
advanced them with bunt. Rush was
ordered to pass Miller, filling the bases.
He also passed Henning, forcing
Wilkes in. Wright famed and Brown
fouled out.
The lead was increased by another
run in the third. After Nolt and Sears
had famed, Miller hit to left and
scored on Henning's double. The lat
ter was speared at third, LeBeau to
Cameron to Eunick.
Score Is Tied.
Clintons defense got balled up and
the Ansons were allowed to chase in
two scores without a hit. Agnew, who
opened the round. got clipped with a

The Ansons got lead Of one run in
the fourth when Cameron. first up,
whaled a two-bagger into right field.
Lee flew out to Wilkes, but Cameron
scored on Durkin's single. LeBeau

Chances Go Giimmering.
After that the Ansons never had
chance. Tomlins steady twirl1ng,
backed by good defense. kept Boyle's
players from getting farther than Sec

The lead acquired did not last long.
In the fifth Rush passed Nolt who was
first up, and who stole second; then
walked Sears. Miller grounded to
Durkin, who drew Cameron off the
bag with the throw to first, Nolt scor-
ing on the play. When Miller and
Sears essayed double steal the latter
was tagged at the plate.
The pair of winning runs came after
one was down in the thirteenth. Sears
then singled, and Miller drew a pass.
In attempting to nip Sears at second

into center field. Henning flew out to
Lied, who pegged for home, but the
throw got away from Agnew, Sears
and Miller both scoring. Wright famed

CLINTON.
