Devils defeated the Departmental
League leaders by a 3 TO ! count
Ernie Shaffer OF high school fame
hooked up in a htchers' duel with
Gus Singleton. Neither kurler gave
a base on balls and each kept his
hits well scattered throughout the
contest Singleton would not have
been scored upon except for a mis-
cue by Cobb. Ernie pitched good ball
but the breaks OF the game were
against him as Lynn at short miscued
at a critical stage Of the proceedings
which put Shaffer in jeopardy.
The Marines scored the first run
on two hits and a sacrifice. War Risk
evened the count in the sixth when
Shaffer opened with the first hit on
Singleton. Shafrer was forced at scr
Ond but Sweeney was given life on
a miscue and kept on to second, scor-

BUNTING AN ACQUIRED ART.
Man Who Can Lay Down the Ball
Doesn't Do Il Naturally.

II may be true that the hitter in
baseball is born. not made. but not
so with the bunter. says a baseball
wise man. The successful hunt hit
ter is a manufactured article. Here
the mind plays an important part.
Instead Of going up 20 the plate
with the sole idea OF taking
healthy. untrsmmeled swing at the
old apple, the artistic buntcr must
choke his bat. hold IL so II will give.
make a quick but accurate stab into
the pathway Of the ball and let the
ball DO the rest.
There is still more. Bunting g
primarily a sacTifciaI rite. so 10
speak. and the batter with orders TO
bUnt must make his desire TO beat
out the hit secondary TO the proper
advancement Of the base runner.
The trouble with most players
who essay 10 bUnt is their tendency
to start running before they hit the
hall. As a consequence they either
foul of. miss altogether or drive IL
directly at the pitcher. They have
no chance at all TO place tho ElUbuls
where the infieIders least expect il.
