FORE RIVERS NINE
EASY FOR HARLAN
Joe Jackson Earns Medal as
Stealing Artist in 4 to 2
Victory.

III revenge bC sweet then on saturday
the Right Honorable Frederick Payne s
exalted, puissant and most noble aggrega-
ton of ball-swatters, known better TO
fame as Harlan's Huskies sure enough
chewed fine and toothsome lollypop
when they ground under their spiked
heels the baseball gents from Fore River
Massachusetts. Score 4 to 2, with the
Croix de Guerre, with crossed bats, the
Victoria Cross with two vics and the
cross of the Legion of Honor with double
legcs, awarded to the honorable Joe
Jackson for stealing things IN the way OF
bases. Also four days In the guard
house for Pitcher Mammaux for losing
his temper and pulling threats OF rough
stuff on his batting mate, MIR. Murphy
on the ground that he (Murphy) had
made costly yea, GataD bones.
OF course Mammaux didn't get this
vocation in ''choky' but it was due him.
Let's hope his rcdheadedness was cooled
off in the shower to which he he'd himself
at the end of that awful third inning.
AS a matter of fact his Punishment was
pretty much his own fault. because our
faithful and devoted swatsmen landed on
him. big league idol as he was, from the
very start of the matinee
And the only fly in the days ice cream
was the fact that the second Harlan team
tho ship leaguers got drubbing up
at Hog Island But, as the old woman
said when the cops lugged her saturated
husband TO the iiffy-wagon. That's
no wife beating for me The game with
Fore River was the big thing of the day
and what counted most
The Massachusetts, team Is the only
ono that has defeated Harlans. The
locals went on the field confident Of wiping
out the defeat and did 1T IN a very delft,
satisfactory and pleasing manner. Har-
lan'S victory was not due TO its power to
hit particularly hard but to heady base
ball and the base running of Joe jackson,
which sent the entire Fore River team
skyward in the third inning when the
former White Sox player stole second,
third and home and would have probably
stole Murphy's chest protector, leg guard
and mask if they had been of any use
to him.
At the start it looked as though the
game would be pitcher duel between
Dumont and Mammaux, but the latter
must have run out of parafhn for he and
his teammates went TO pieces IN the third
inning The former Pittsburg twirler
depended almost entirely on the ''shlnc
ball !"
Norman Wingatc opened the third
inning with a walk, took second on
hi millcr's sacrifice, and crossed the rubber
when Dumont hit a single into left field
The local pitcher got TO third when Muir
ply made an error and scored when
Cerney slashed a tuo-bagger 10 right
center. Wagner reached first after being
hit by pitched ball, jackson reached
first on an error by Engle, when he
dropped the ball on an attempted double
play IN which Wagner was out at second.
Jackson at once started for second and
Cerney for home and both players were
safe, Joe then stole third and with the
count two and two on Charity, stole
home This ended Harlans scoring.
Twas enough.
Fore River scored in the fourth inning
when Engle singled and took third on
Weeners error and scored on fielder
choice. The visitors other run came IN |
the sixth when Engle got a two Dagger |
and scored as result of an error by Lake |
and fielder choice
Wingate pulled the fielding feature OF |
the game with q one-hand catch IN the !
crowd in right field.
Harlan will play at Bethlehem, Pa
next Saturday Score
