epson teams in the city league Put
On a six inning game full Of as good
baseball as has been seen at South
Side park this, season, the Bando team
being the winner 40. mainly through
the efforts Of Davidson and liopke,
pitcher and left fielder respectively.
davidson tried hard 10 climb into the
no-hit band wagon along with Miller
and Anderson, but a hit by Thompson
in the first inning spoiled his chances.
Harold, too, was pitching great bal,
allowing but three single, but coupled
with some loose fielding the BandoI
turned their three hits into four runs
and walked away with the old ball
game. On account Of the rain. the
game did not start until $50. and at
The end Of the sixth inning dark clouds
had again rolled up making II so dark
that Phil Grimes had 10 call the game.
At the rate Davidson was going he
would likely have shut out the Whole
as in six. Hartley, former Owens man
appeared at short for the Bando while
Thompson and Cunningham were new
faces for the Wholesalers.
P. Metz opened the game with 8
long fly to Flaherty in left. Hartley
rolled one. to Thompson and was out
a. first. Helm and Andrews killed
" Thompson opened for the Whole
salers with a single. Andrews famed.
Cunningham flied to Donlin. After
the catch he threw to first base to tryI
10 double Thompson, and Metz fum-
bled the ball long enough 10 allow
Thompson to take second. Davidson
made a Salk and Thompson TOOK third.
Helm sent another high one 10 D1nlini
for the third out i
Bando counted one in The second
Hopke singled and stole second. Reii
went 10 third while Cunningham %asI
throwing out SchOudt at first station
and counted when Donlil went out

Topped up to Cunningham.
In the second for Stevenson, after
Smith had popped to the catcher, Fla'
hertz was safe at first on IN erfn. by

The Rails again took the count mi
order in the fourth starza and the,
wholesalers did likewise. One hit pro.
duced two runs for the Bando-in the
f.-h canto. SchOudt opened with Al
\ 81 on balls. Eonlin popped to
bingham and Belt lifted little
fly to Harold. Bo!ce crashed SINGLE
to center and Golden Rod Smith,
who may be our next circuit clerk
gummed up things by allowing the
ba,l 10 get away, Schoudt conf ngE
home and Boice going to third. Da-,,
wilson was safe at first and Roice
counted when Andrews dropped AMI
easy throw which should have retired
the side. P. Metz flied to Flaherty.
Nothing doing for the Wholesalers
in their half. With two out for the!
Bando in the sixth. Hopke got hisi
second hit and asain pilfered second.
At this iuncture Shorty Helm vent
sound asleep at third base for some
reason. He failed to see Hopae start
to steal third and Morris throw was
halfway to the ungnarded third sack
when "shorty's" alarm went off. Hell
made a mad dash for the bag, caught
his foot in the sack. did a beautiful
Annette Kellerman into the soft mud,
while the ball went on and the run
ner came home. Schoudt famed.
In their last stand the Wholesalers
failed. Thompson sent a wicked liner
to right which Belt captured. Andrews
famed for the second time in the
game, and 1t was all over until the
next nice evening when Cunningham
took three swings at the atmosphere.
The score.
