Kelly Did Il
During the afternoon the All.Stars
amassed. garnered and secured but
five singles. and seven Of the batters
we're sent back to the bench after per-
forming their Wig-wag exercise. Had
ii not been for two errors, Kelly would
have had a shutout to his credit, as
Lang Akana was the only runner to
cross the plate for the Stars.
Kelly wasn't the only one VINO was
performing in grand fashion, as dur
ing the first three innings Johnny Will
liamS, the eX-Detroit hurler, pitched
like Kelly did. Cummings connected
with one of the floaters for a homer
over the left field barrier in the fifth
inning, and McClain also picked out
a good one for triple in the seventh,
but that was about all the heavy hit
ting that the Rugers did during the
afternoon, with the exception OF
kelly's long hit to left center
Williams Shows Something
Williams had his fast ball working
in great shape, and although the hon
ors for the day must go to Kelly.
Johnny turned in a good game, and
would have won under most condi,
tiOns. And the All-Stars. who only
a few days ago opened the gates and
scattered errors to the winds got to-
gether and put up a nice performance,
only one error being charged against
them.
McClain was the only outfielder who
had chance in the game yesterday,
and two of these putouts were off Will
liams, who hit the ball hard to the left
garden. Ruger played good ball from
the fielding standpoint, and wild
throws were responsible for most Of
the errors chalked up against the
Giants.
Chilly Plays
Henry Chillingworth broke into the
game tor the first time since mis- IN
jury, but the Giants refused to HIT
them down his way, and ne went with
out chance all day. Yesterday was
great day for the titan haired boys
as both Johnson OF the Giants and Nc
Gavin OF the Stars connected for three
hits. Dunlap and judd got the other
two for the Stars.
Only three men batted in an inning
for the first three cantos, and Wll-
llams was breeZing along in great
shape, sending three men back to the
bench in one inning, after an effort
to solve his shoots. Judd hit safe in
the third inning, and although NC
Gavin singled in the fourth the Stars
failed to score.
Johnson opened the fourth for
Ruger with a single and Perry sent
him down to second. Then Bailey
hunted and beat it out, and while they
were making an effort to catch Bailey
off the base johnson came home. la
the next inning Williams shot over 4
floater and Cummings sent it far
over the fence for q homer.
Lang Scores
AKana brought the only run across
the plate for the AIl-Stars in the sixth
when he walked, went to second on a
wild throw and came LONE on a hit. |
McClafn tTipleC ia the seventh and
Kelly tripled In the eighth, but VIII.
liams pitched we'll IN the pinches, and
Ruger failed to score. McGaVin made
a start when he singled in the ninth, |
and Williams came up with two men
out and nit a roller to Womack who
caught the hurler at first, and Ruger
broke through with the first victory.

on their toes Sunday, and large num-
