ARDMORE RALLY IN
NINTH 0VERC0MES 2
RUN RES0RTER LEAD

The TO league park was no place
for weak hearted individual sun
day afternoon. for had someone with
d fluttering fortitude been present
and lampcd the most pleasantly ex-
citing raggedy game which was ever
exhibited the undertakers would have
supplied the press with another obi
tuary. Seemed like the Pops We're kid
ding the Resorters along. for every
time they'd get to the Mineral Wells
pitchers for a congomeraton of hits
and a couple of runs they'd turn
around and let the visitors tie the
score and once in q while take the
lead And thus it continued for nine
innings when the game ended with the
score 81. in favor Of Ardmore, after
a Pep rally overcame a 2-run lead
The Ardmore batsmen ruined the
reputation of the Resorters' entire re-
portoire Of pitchers, starting with Nc
Casland, the FORMER Pep pitcher, who
attempted to stage. a comeback against
his former teammates, but who lasted
Just four innings during which he
was touched for six hits and two runs
Then Coop. the visitors stellar relief
hurler, ascended to the diamond high
spo; and the Pops added three more
hingles and two runs, one OF the
hits being for four bases by Lemasters
ir the sixth which scored Beard from
first. Next came Reed who was the
widest Of them all. and when the

the bases, they advanced on wild
pitches-but they got there just the

Reed was on the war path up to the
ninth inning when single by Clopp
followed by q free pass TO Jones and
straight balls to Young ended his
reign. Then Kraigbaum, who as
pitcher proved to be 4 good third
baseman, came to the mound, and
Lovelace zammed the pill to the paint
or the right field boards for the hit
which scored the two winning runs.
There would have been no excite
ment at all and the game would have
been a cinch had it not been for the
Ardmore errors which permitted the
visitors 10 score three Of their runs,
In two innings Of the game the Re
sorters earned their tallies. The first
time was in the fifth session, when
they got to Harding for four singles
and two walks which netted them
three runs. Harding had another off

the first four innings, but in the ifth
was otherwise. and in the sixth nom
mated himself FOR the showers when
nc handed out another free pass and
was touched for another single. Lefty
yeacer succeeded him and neld his
own during the remainder OF the ex-
element Harding allowed eight hits
and four runs. The register against
Yeager was three hits and similar
rumber OF tallies.
