u&9gg ball team went down to
defeat in Saturdays game, the
locals winning by a score of 6 to 2.
The day was ideal for, baseball and
many were the fans who were con-
tinually crowding the ropes either
to get or to hold their former
place of vantage. The locals started
right off the reel at hitting and
scoring. By getting three success
sive hits two runs came cantering
home with an abundance of cheer
ing from the fans. However, the
locals figured no more in the score
line till the seventh frame: then,
after two men had been retired,
Helm drove out long fly to left
field for three bases and moment
later scored on Adds hit. In the
eighth the locals opened up ter
rible fire of bOmbardment. Before
the inning was over four hits we're
made and three runs came safely
home.
The visitors were unable to score
or even get safe hit till tho fifth
frame. Juettner, the first man up
in this inning, landed on one for two
bases and stole third. Areland and
Barrett we're both unable to bring
their comrade home, for they were
retired by the strike-out route.
Moynough famed the air three
times but the third one he struck
at was a low one which hit the
home plate in some freakish way
as to bound high over the back
stops head allowing Juettner a
free pass home, Moynough walk
ing to first base. A moment later
he stole second base, but the sus-
pense came to an end by Mean
drew striking out. In the seventh
inning the visitors tied the locals
score and before the side was re-
tired it looked very promising for
them to take the lead. The two
first men up got on by safe hits,
Areland advancing both runners
one base each on his put-out. Bar
rett drove a grounder to Bran but
on a felder's choice play the ball
was played to home base. Helm
was unable to hold the ball on &C.
count Of the runner colliding with
him. The ball, however, was mo-
mentarily held by the fielder be-
fore the collision and when the
compact came it knocked the ball
from his hands and the jumps called
him safe. This ended the visitors
score record, although the begin
ming of the eighth started out to
be repeater of the seventh. Mil
ler the first man up got safe hit.
Noonan, after making three un-
successful bunts but managing to
foul the third one, was called safe
by the jumps, claiming he fouled
the third one by lodging the ball.
The next ball pitched to him he
drove out a grounder to Add fore
ing out Miller at second. When
the ball was delivered to Jam to
catch Noonan for a double play
it pass through the latter's NIT and
rolled out among the fans. This
entitled Noonan, according to
ground rules, to 60 to second base.
After Noonan overran first base.
instead of turning to the left and
proceeding on to second, he turned
to the right and did not retouch
first base before going on to second.
Therefore, the jumps called Noonan
out. This decision by the jumps,
according to our estimation, was
wrong. After the umpire had de-
tected the runner in turning the
wrong way and proceeding on to
second without retouching first
base, especially after the ball be-
comes dead" the most he can do
is to order him back to- his initial
point and in this case it was first
