DEFIANCE NINE WIN
OVER ALL-STARS
Exciting Contest at Third and
Adams Streets Goes Into Extra
Innings Before it is Decided.

In one Of the best uphill battles seen
at the Third and Adams streets field this
year Defiance defeated the All-Stars In
the seventh inning by showing two runs
across, winning out in the ninth by the
score of 5 to 4. The game, which WAS
agreed to go seven innings, WAS one of the
best exhibitions seen this year on the
west side. Brilliant fielding WAS plentiful
throughout, both teams exhibiting some
fine baseball playing.
Probably the two most interesting
features of the game WAS Hayes one
hand pickup of McConnells drive. The
ball was headed directly over second
base when Hayes rushed over, grabbed
the ball with his gloved hand and, while
off his balance, threw his man out at
first The other fielding feature occurred
in the fifth. Redding, the first batter IN
the inning, drove line drive 10 centre.
Hynson, who WAS playing deep, ran in,.
caught the ball on the first bounce and
with lightning throw to first base, had
his man by three feet, but Walsh dropped
his perfect throw.
Redding, however, went out on the
next, three men going out IN order.
Hynson also cut off another rally IN the
sixth, when Rheinholtz, who received n
life on Robbins SLIP up, tried TO advance
to third on Forrest single To centre. but
Hynson came through again with a
lightning throw, catching the runner at
third

factor Of the game, Freddy scoring when
Shields drove out his second hit TO Salters
which was too hot for the latter TO handle,
ending the game.
