The game was marked with much
thrills.
Much credit is due both pitchers.
Rector, for Fort Worth allowed
only one man to walk, with IA
strike outs to his credit. Hubbard
who played last year with the
Brooklyn Giants pitched faultless
game that will long be remembered.
With thirteen strike outs to his
credit. Without doubt this was the
best game that was ever played on
the home grounds this season. The
remarkable playing of Johnson Hill,
Fort Worth Premier third sacker
was one of the main features of
the game. When a hot one came
to him from Whites bat that the
smoke itself was putting from 1t,
but the famous third sacker did
not resist a bit, just picked 1t up
like 1t was a piece Of hot cake and
tossed it to the great first sacker
which was L. Jones. Much credit
is due L. Jones for many star
plays. He drudged the ball from
the earth, on a hug to the ground
that saved the dangerous oilers
from their last chance of scoreing.
