Sundays Game Broke Two Records!
Fans agree on two things relative
to the game today. They are: the
crowd-as the largest, and the game,
as being the best The Monarchs
won, but by a close margin. The
game was featured by brilliant
pitchers duel between Currie and
Taylor, the local star winning in the
final count, one to nothing. Yes,
Currie was in his prime for the occa-
sion. In the seventh round he re.
tired the visitors by tanning three
giants in succession, the marvel of
this is that the feat was accomplish
ed by using only eleven throws.
Harper, the Monarchs' heavy hitting
rightfielder, electrified the crowd bv
catching long drive in the sixth is.
sued by giant swatsman. The catch
was difficult but was made, and net.
ted a double play as a runner, going
to third, miscalculated and died with
the batter.
Don't forget there are two valiant
human machines opposed in this
game. From the very first inning
they both have gone to bat and they
came away often hitless and CON
stantly scoreless. The tension of the
crowd is great. Things are now
hushed, quiet, suspending on the ac.
ton of the pitcher and batter. If he
connects with the ball the touch of a
dynamo, and emit a tremendous yell
If the connection offers the probabil.
ity OF run to break the deadlock.
Some game" they say, this is rich "
others eXclaim. The Monarchs don't
seem TO have any particular Jew on
Taylor, who is officiating for the
Giants. 1t is tit for tat between him
and Currie, the latter extricating him
self out of several menacing posi-
tions. Finally, the last half of the
eighth inning is reached. 1t is dra.
matte, as in this session sombody
scored. 1t was the Monarchs ! Por-
tunda, having succeeded to third, ran
in home when McNair batted to first.
AS the Giants failed to score in the
ninth, they suffered a well fought
