HARLAN'S HUSK|ES
CAPTURE ANOTHER
Lick Schwab's Sons O. Guns From
Bethlehem 3 to 2 and Do for
Lefty" Baumgartner.

Ii they re not playing big league ball at
South Side Park these Saturdays lot Of
veteran eyes are being deceived which
same thsy are not Saturdays set-to be-
tween the Harlan Huskies and Charley
Schwab's Sons-o Guns from up Bethle-
hem way was an instance. IL was just
about ms pretty a contest as YOU care to
see, even If YOU had dug into your jeans at
National League or Association box
office for the price of admission-a good
old pitchers squabble with the home folks
getting away with the goods. 1t ended
with the score 3 10 2, the Sons-o Gums
holding the short end of the stick.
Mr.. Lefty" Baumgartner, not an I'M
familiar figure hereabouts held the pitch
ing fort for bethlehem for five innings and
then retreated to the woods over by the
bench, Mr.. kutz taking his place with a
basket of goose-eggs which he doled out TO
Harlan one at n time for the succeeding
innings. As a matter Of fact. Lefty got
broken-recd support Just at times when IT
should have been the lamp-post variety.
Mr.. Fitzpatrick, guarding the third
citadel. won the leather medal for this,
having four large juicy errors to his string,
and costly ones ut that.
For Harlan, Mr. Ray, likewise a left
handler. provided the artillery and kept
things moving nicely for seven innings.
Dumont went IN in the eighth and after
that Harlan's defence WAS almost tiawless,
there being only one error. Both teams
kept eternally after the ball and there was
a sight more hitting than the box score
would indicate. good outheiding murder
ing clouts that otherwise seemed properly
addressed and stamped for the hit column.
The star play Of the game was a World :
Series catch close to tho left field bleachers
hv Mr.. Walters. Harlan's decorative and
useful figure at third. Mr.. Martin, at the
second keg, performed valorously will six
chances and nixev break or bone Mr..
Lake. back of the bat, likewise sawed off
some honors.
The Right Honorable Joseph Jackson
hunkcrcd on the bench. wearing shoes and
a wistful look rs well as civilians duds.
II didn't require An expert to diagnose the
reason for the wistful ook-1oseph want
cd TO he in the game which he will when
the legal time comes.
First crack out Of the box Bethlehem
scored Maytag circulting on a hit,
Taguicr stopping one OF Rays slants with
his shoulder, Fishburn's fielders' choice
and Roth's long Gy. Another WAS collected
in the fourth deal With two 10 the bad
Harlan went in then red-eyed for runs
Gsrritv reached first on one Of Mr.. Fitz-
patrick's bones Then Mr. Martin slam
med ono down left field way and never
out gamboling around the green until he
reached third scoring Martin and coming
home on Lakes sharp hit 20 short. which
Fishburn had TO heavc 10 first TO prevent
both runners from being safe And IN the
next session What proved 10 be the Vin-
ming run was put on. Mr.. Fitzpatrick
aCarD helr,fnc ont hy error
Things kind o looked bad for Harlan
in the eighth and ninth but they tishtened
UP and the Sons-o Guns couldn't get =
man up TO the spigDt at home plate and
there uas nothing dong in runs
