Salem Takes 18th
Game in K-G Play
for State Honors
(By WIN Carver.

Stuart'S liner to and above second
started Salem's artillery in Sunday $
game with the -Gifford's at OK
ford Park. Crowded stands and
bleachers witnessed the three-ply bat
ting event that led to the Senators
10th victory this season, with score
OF 6-1.
The first inning and a half OF the
game smacked OF professional ball
Salem was playing against the rumor-
ed prowess Of the visitors. A lowering
OF the morale OF the locals was no
ticed after it was learned that Knut-
son could be tapped for hits. Perhaps
this accounts for the four errors check
ed against the Senators.
Hayes, who played fine ball in right
field, marred his repute as slugger
being the only Salem batsman who
failed to land on Knutson for a hit. Sa-
aIen was at bat 36 times. while K-G
wieiders had 81 chances at the horse
hide.
Three Double Hits.
In the last of the second Hayes went
out, Knutson to Lind. Stuart's twv
bagger broke the tension and was fol-
lowed by Proctor's double sacker,
brin ging Stuart home. Miller tried to
land but famed out. Kracke lifted an
other doubler and Proctor checked in.
Bishops hit to centerfeld brought in
Kracke and broke the montony as the
three pervious hits had all been made
to left field near the third base line.
With two men down, Steppe tried to re
peat the chorus, but his tall fly was
netted by Hartman.
Biddie Bishop, as Salem's twirler put
Mp a brand Of play that gave the fans
something to think about. Throughout
the game, Biddie was on the job, allow
ing only four hits and striking out sew
Ell Of his opponents He allowed pass
es to three. Knutson. the KG south
paw, was touched by the Senators for
1 hits, famed three Salemites and
issued three passes. 1t was evident that
the K-G twirler was giving the best at
his command, and the fans expressed
appreciation of his sincere efforts to
head off kracke's slugging crew.
Noonen took over the twirling stunt
in the eighth but had nothing the To-
Gals could not reach.
Quality Plays Made.
Miller made sensational catch In
the first inning when he did the back
skip for Hops near Texas Lacquer into
left field. Holmes grabbed several,
making nice bid in the fifth inning
by holding McDonald's fly after hard
runup to the signboards. Steppe, as
usual took all flys in his territory,
while Kracke sacked three fouls in ad-
dition to his successful efforts as back
stop.
Undoubtedly the prettiest play of the
game was made by the Kerr Giffords
in the fourth inning. Lind made two
bags on liner to right field Hart
man flied out to Miller, Lind stole
third, while Knutson biffed liner to
Stuart, who pegged low to Blanchard
giving the. K-G pitched an offer for
second While Proctor and Blanchard
were playing tag with Knutson, Lind
made a nice little off play for the Wis
itors only run of the game
Salem's other runs were made by
Bishop and Blanchard in the fifth in
ming and but Stuart in the eighth. No
homers were made,
