game ended In an 8 TO victory for
The AecQuillan's after 10 innings OF
pastiming, the boss himself doing
the hurting honors. The second
contest was called In the nlnth on
account OF darkness, with the score
tied at 2 apiece.
Rain and continued threatening
weather up to game time handicap
ned the efforts of the fans assocla-
lion to assemble a record crowd.
There was considerable doubt that
Nhe festivities could go through as
planned with the clouds trying to
unburden themselves. Those fans
swho couldn't be kept away were
treated to all brands OF baseball
Despite the fact the second con
test strung along until darkness IN

rrec ading the game Mayor Schri-
YER delivered line of oratory on
baseball, concluding with presenta-
ton of a huge floral horseshoe to
me islander team. The mayor
tii.n took his position in the pitch
er's box with Commissioner Fitz-
simmons behind the bat. Someone
PACED Chief Tom Cox but he could
nor be found and Danaher of the
Terre Haute team went to bat. Inc
mayor pitched a high inShoot that
caught Commissioner FitS on the
finger tips, and the game was on.
In the first game the teams play
I'd good and bad baseball, with
plenty Of hitting and running TO-
satisfy everybody. The locals won
out In tn, tenth through the
strategy of McQuillan and the kind
" ness of Tatum, who dished up a
pair OF free tickets to first after
two were on base by hits to force
IN the winning score. The Tots
pounded Manager McQuillan for LIZ
aafo swats but the veteran twirler
VS. Al there at the finish going
strong. The Islanders connected
for II hits In the first game and
took advantage of the Tots mis-
plays and IA bases on balls issued
by Pitchers Norman and Tatum.
In the second game Ambrose dis
played his class by holding the
hard-slugging Colemans to runs
on II hits. After the first jnning
Terre Haute was unable to get more
than one hit in any inning but the
eighth when triple followed by
Manager Coleman's single put the
tying run across. The breaks were
against the Islanders in the ninth
otherwise game No. 2 would have
gone into the win bag.
Murphy was the individual bat
ting star of the Islanders in thu
first game with three hits in fiv'
Aytrips to the plate. while simila

helped himself to trio Of swat
