|NGOIS DEFEAT ELIZABETH oil
TEAM, 81, IN GAME SATURDAY

o q number Of weeks In the past
months the Ingots have been in the
habit of cleaning up on Saturday af-
ternoon. Away back in their minds
turks an hereditary respect for the
ESabbath. They want their team, as
far as victory OF the diamond is
.sconcerned, to be calcimined n as
clean as possible for Sunday.
Did they take their bath. Saturday?
Wei 1 should shout. They crowned
the Standard OH gang to a tune of
81.
1t was a cloudy, chilly afternoon
and at times threatened to let loose
somewhere up above but there were
kquite some people "sardined" in the
E~grandstand regardless of the wealth
er.
During the progress of he game
some few rabidly frantic fans were
spotted, hailing from Elizabeth, who
tried to aid their team along with
ltheir moral support, but after
EDiede camped on their trail became
ksmum."
I The visitors played brilliantly and
Eshowed fine team work but could not
seem to connect with Babe Soo's
offering at the ~opportune moment.
fBoettner, playing short, was the live
wire and the main part of the de-
Tense.
Mickey" Loeser was easily h
hero of the crowd and raised his
standard with the populace several
more notches. He showed every
thing: Stealing a brace OF bag
| sticking out two hits, n of them a
double. He twice scurried around to
third only to be left there.
Mike 500 was the only one who
deserved to share honors with Loes-
er. 500 besides twirling great ball
kstung out a homer which gave us our
! FIRST score. 49,
"Pud'' Stinson played his usual
steady game in the short field, u
was a little off at the stick. This is
nPud,s'' first game for. several weeks
now so it can be stretched a little In
allowing him to get away with II
without securing a dress dow" ZOE
| not connecting with a couple.
Frey, Standard OILS center fielder.
WAS waiting and ready with his cuogea
on his shoulder when Pick" Mullen
tcried play He slashed the empty
air thrice, with MARI" a smell of the
ipill. Beettner swung at one, but hit it
ION the upperside of the bat and popped
lone high into the air, which was gath
kered in by "Pud" Stinson. Reid ended
iHhe chapter of Introduction by tanning.
The Ingots, when they galloped in
ifrom the field, started off with little
t"Mickey'' Loeser singing one out
Through center field for two sacks.
lChristophersen tapped ball light
ny to Brinkman for a sacrifice, showing
sIoeser along to third. Things began
Ito look pleasant with Mickey" perch
ding here on the look-in station, but
neither Egan nor Stinson came across
with the wallop.~ Egan tried by slap
ping a sizzler to second, who tossed
shim out at first easily and at the same
time holding Loeser on third. ~Pnd
tStinson, who some one accidentally
scaIled CHARLEY-lifted a fly to short
allowing Loeser to die on base.
Biegert drove an a. one down
third, which Christophersen booted
about long enough to allow him to rest
safely on first. He later took second
an dwas given a lift to third by a punt
ffrom Harzell. Price fliekered q long
ny to center, which gave Biegert an
opportunity to score from third. LAWN
popped weakly into Egan's hands. One
run.
For the Ingots 500 stung one to Cen
Ter field where Reid was planted ready
for it, but one of those amazing things
took place, for he dropped this easy
one. Soo had not even loafed about
racing down to first in spite of the fact
that it seemed a sure out. He stretched
his legs to cover the ground making
second cushion. Hornsby drove a
liner into the hands of HarzeIl on first.
500 advanced to the difficult sack or
Halbert's fly to left. but was anchored
there, when Foster made the third
out with a little Whit, pitcher to first
Gerhardt hit a bounder- into the
hands of Ch~ristophersen who threw
him out at first. Brinkman made the
second out whe he hit a liner to Fos-
ter in right. Frey smashed out a hit,
but was forced at second OF Boettner's
fe1der's choice, Egan to Stinson.
Van Glider Tipped up an easy fly
to first. Brinkman weakened a bit
in his control giving Loeser and Chris
tophersen a free ticket to the bases.
But both were left stranded when Egan
hit a grounder to Harzell n Stinson
one to short, who nabbed him at first.
Reid got on through an error by
Egan. Biegert stung n to Stinson,
throwing to Egan, who had covered
second, getting Reid. "Pud" got an
other chance when Harzell banged
one in his direction but was thrown
out at first. Biegert was left on sec
,ond when Price smashed one to Egan
to HornSby.
When 500 came up to lead off he
whacked one of Brinkman's delive-
ries, bingling it out for a homer. 1t
was not a clean one, being made pos
sible by Reid, in center field allow
ing the drive to ooze between his
hands. Hornsby put up a weak fly to
short. HaIbert struck out. Foster
secured first when Brinkraan PUNK
ed a ball into his short ribs, but he
dug his grave here when Van Glider
hit a bounder to Harzell at first. One
run.
LAWN opened the fifth with a hot
to Christopherson, who
threw to Hornsby. Gerhardt flied
out to Mickey Loeser in left.
Brinkman connected with one that
at first looked like a th~ree-baser but
which Foster in right garden gather
ed in without hardly moving a step.
Loeser again signed up for another
hit but was forced at second when
Christopherson dumped a bun in he
barSs of Brinkman who lined he
