Pulls Bone; Courtney Derricked;
Schacht, Finishes

ming in the ninth inning would have
enabled Sheely's home run tito the
leftheld bIeachers to tie the count
The Gleasons went in to the last
half four runs behind, but the south
Siders never seem to know they
are licked until the last man1is oue
They started a rally which drove
Harry Courtney to the shower bath
prsmaturely and almost pulled the
game out of the fire. =
Eddie Collins, first up, led with

Strunk popped a Texas Lacquer to
short right and Smith muffed 1t on

center scoring Collins and Strunk.

were faster than they are the tale
wouIa have been different. He tried
To stretch his hit into three bags
and was nailed by perfect throwing.
Then Sheely raised his long drive
into the bIeacher for four corners,
but IL was good for only one run
instead of the two il ought to have
meant Mostil apparently did not
realize that his. run was no good
without another behind it, SO he
would have been just as well on al
third. In fact. IL he had stopped
on, first the score would have been

ShAely's blow and Schacht took his
pIace. He gave Schalk a pass and

squeezed Schalk with a perfect

waited a couple of hits
