Just about the time the Idamay-
Pittsburgh collegian game was to be
called on account of darkness after
twelve innings of play and with the
score tied 4-4, Bobbie Hood, the fast
Flairmont infielder, covering third base
for Idamay last evening, nattened out
on Gehb offering and got all the way
to the third cushion before the ball was
returned. 1t was Beveridge's priv
ilege to make his third safe hit of the
game and score the winning run.
score, Collegians, A; Idamay, 8.
Much credit must be given June, the
speedy Idamay twirler, who made
them look like peas floating over the
rubber. With the exception of the
first inning his pitching was mastery
in every detail and he well deserved
the victory he won.
With an assortment OF something
which apparently was hard to hit but
which looked like mush to the specta-
tors in the grandstand, Gehb, the Wis
ting mound artist, was able to work
out of some tight pinches.
Fans who attended the game wers
given rare treat of catching. Both
Kress and Talkington, backstops for
the Collegtans and Idamay, respective
ly were all that could be expected
and performed with much merit
throughout the game.
Old .Billn Ridgely, the Hans"
Wagner OF Marion county baseball,
also deserves special mention for his
efficient work in right field. Once he
threw out q base runner after he had
made q single to right field and one
other time he made perfect throw to
third base which cut off another run.
In the first inning, the Collegians,
who by the way are advertised as be-
ing team which never kicks" on an
umpire's decision, displayed rare Bit
Of unsportsmanlike tactics in protest
ing Umpire Toothman's decision when
Roonew struck out. 1t was necessary
for Deputy Sheriff John Glover ana
Policeman Howard Woodward to in
terfere before the Collegian left
fielder regained his senses.
