THAT AWFUL INNING


 That completed the Barons scoring, al- though they had several nice chances to romp across the platter. They had runners on the paths in every inning and safe blow was secured off the Ora cker hurlers in every inning except the sixth and ninth.

Tex hit weak grounder toward first Hill fielded the ball perfectly, but threw past Doc Johnston and all of the Crackers on on the path scored. This didn't end the excitement, however, and the Baron ma chine had just started on their path to an inglorious defeat.
 Tex stole second and Bridwell walked. Sammy Mayer cracked a single to left and Tex scored. Bridwell took third and Sammy second on the throw to the plate, With the score tied and the winning tal- lies on the paths, Moley jerked Hill and sent Preacher Perryman to the mound Jake Munch welcomed Perryman with a double to left and Bridwell and Mayer scored.
