ST. STANISLAUS1 TAKES
CAME FROM MARINERS
in EXCITING GAME OF SEASON
LAST SUNDAY BY Sd SCORE.
MARINES WELL REPRES-
ENTED WITH MUSIC AND
FANS.-BISHOP SAVES GAME.

Last Sunday the Marine Bank OF
New Orleans came over in special
coaches with about two hundred
rooters, jazz band, firsttlass team,
and great hopes for victory. The
morning was spent in dancing at the
College Gym.
When the game was called at two
thirty full grand stand greeted the
players. With Hippo Phillips on the
mound for the Bay and Kraft for
the Marines the curtain rose on as
exciting game as we want to see.
In point of interest this game ranks
second only to the Hibernia game.
There was not dull inning dur
ing the whole game; in the beginning
Phillips turned the Marines back
one-two-three. Till Freiss walked in
the fourth no man reached base for
the visitors. Meantime hits by Jau-
bert and Lower had brought us up
with a two-run lead. In the fourth
infield errors accounted for another
run, this by Scafide. An error and a
single in the fifth, and an error and
triple in the sixth brought the
count up to three two. Scafide's
clean single in the sixth followed by
two sacrifice flies doubled the score
for us. Both pitchers tightened up
after this and the scoring was over
till the ninth.
Then came the ninth with the
thrills of two or three ordinary
games piled in ten long minutes. Till
that time Hippo's arm had been do
ing faithful service but soreness
caused by Javelin throwing began to
tell. Chevis first man up for the Mar
ines picked straight one and sailed
it to the right center for two-bases.
Donahue then waited till the umpire
motioned him down to first on four
more or less wide ones. Shepard with
three balls and two strikes on, for
ced Jaubert to call for a grooved
ball. 1t came. When the dust had
cleared Shepard was on second, Che
Wis and Donahou had crossed the
plate and the score stood four up.
With none down, good baserunner
on second and three huskies in the
offing, swinging two bats each,
things began to look dark. To make
things worse Brady who had gotten
one of the few hits of the game, and
it long flies on both of his other
trip sat the bat, stood waiting for a
good one. Summoning that reserve
force that has won so many victories
for Stanislaus in season past, Hippo
started to pitch. Three deceptive
curves, three wild swings and Brady
walked-to the bench. With the
Bank rooters appealing to Craft to
win his own game he tried hard;
weak grounder to LoeWer sent his
hopes crumbling. Two down. The
next man up was the last. Turning
to right field he tried to drive high
one over the wall. Taking one look
at it, Scafde turned and raced to the
fence and waited for it to come
down. That saved the game.
Last half fthe ninth. Keiffer up:
With one strike and one ball he lined
hard one at Dane near second. Or
diary fielding and this would have
been a single. Dane, though, be-
sides deading the League in hitting
is a nifty fielder. Enough said; one
out. Kraft then lost control and
Loewer and Gex walked. Phillips uG
The fielders backed up. Picking
Kraft's first offering Hippo drove
far into left territory, too high tho:
Shepard gathered it in and delayed
the winning. Two down. Bishop has
struck out the time before and de-
cided to even up. Kraft delivered one
ball. After Loewer and Gex had
scored the left fielder reached the
ball somewhere near the left-center
corner. This is the third time that
Bishop waited until the last inning to
show his wares.
