not hit? They certainly had their hit
ting clothes on yesterday, especially
Campbell, for they almost knocked
the cover off the ball. My! That was
game featured with some clean hit
ting with Campbell carrying away
the honOrs. St. Charles, our new
third sacker, also won the hearts of
the fans when he came across with
a timely double to right, driving In
two runs, thereby tieing the score.
Meharg and Hall also had their eye
on the ball, getting two hits each in
the game and every man on the team
seemed to take liking to Surrency's
delivery, hitting the tall hard.
We have been waiting all this time
to see what Campbell would do to the
ball if he ever hit 1t square on the
nose and the big boy was good
enough to show the fans just what
would happen to the ball when he
connected with 1t.
Hall was on the mound for the
Highlanders and piched beautiful
game tightening up with men on
bases and keeping the hits well scat
tered
In the sixth inning 1t looked rather
bad for us when those Caps scored
three runs, not by clean hitting, but
more by some freak infeld hits
coupled with costly arrors by the To-
cal boys.
But thoee H:ghlaLders did not give
up by any means, but went right after
them again and in their half man
aged to fill the bases with only one
man down. Luck, however. was
against them for they were unable 10
score as Cohen, the next man up, had
the misfortune of lifting a high foul
to the catcher and Campbell was an
easy out, Lunt to Jones. II was only
a matter of time, however, for the
way those boys were hitting the ball
il was evident that only the worst
kind of luck would hinder them from
winning the game.
Those Highlanders went right af-
ter Surrency again in the seventh.
/ Meharg, first man up, singled over
short, and Hall selected right field as
good landing place for his single.
Carraway lifted to Hunter, Livingston
went to bat for Wicker. but fouled
out to the catcher, With two men on
and two down, II looked very much
as though the same links wae there
again and that those two men would
die on base.
But we had another guess coming,
for st. Charles had a different no
ton, for he landed on that much
abused ball for a two-baggcr, scoring
Meharg and Hall and setting the fans
in frenzy.
Campbell again stepped into the
limelight in the eighth by getting hts
third hit of the game, smashing the
ball on the nose for double, scoring
Cohen, which proved to be the win
ming run.
Those Caps, however, fought to
| the finish. for In the ninth they had
two men on with only one man down.
Hall, however, was master Of the
situation and never wobhed ana soon
disposed Of surrency and Lunt end
ing a game that was full OF thrills
from start TO finish:
Those Highlanders showed some
real form yesterday and the fans lefi
the park well pleased with the brand
OF ball playing exhibited In yesteF,
days game.
well boys you can DO Il over again
today.
