the sacks, threatening at any mo-
ment to tally. Big Joel Shelton
/ was forced to twirl with all his
craft and cunning coupled with
his vast speed, TO keen the New
Workers from running wild.
In SO doing the STAR right hand
or turned in another beautiful
contest OF late, the mound work
Of Shelton has been noteworthy.
In the past ,he has depended to n
large extent upon his speed alone
Into every pitch he seemed to
inject every ounce of Drawn and
energy that he possessed.
Up to the fourth inning, but two
New Workers could reach the bases.
After Narcotic and Lotus Were
easy infield outs in the initial
s,anza Jocko Halligan, the Boston
College first sacker playing for
Plattsburg, banged out pretty
single to right field He stole
second and went along to third
when Ross pegged into center
field. Halligan died at the hot
corner however as Hynes was re-
tired Bower to Maloney. Narcotic
was the other visitor to get on the
base paths when Nels Laird fumb-
led his hard-hit ball. The next
three men were put out in order,
and Narcotic was left stranded
after he had differed second.
Newport got to Rosebeck the
visiting HEAVIER, in the second inn
ing. 1t was only because Of the
superb defensive work of the
Plattsburg infield that the locals
did not score a couple extra runs
Malone popped a fly just beyond
Halligan and continued on to
second when Rosebeck fell over
himself trying to field Bruce's
tap. Smith, Viewpoints new center
gardener was safe via fielder
choice when Roseback picked up
his hit and forced Maloney at
third.
Shelton drew pass and Nels
Browne came to bat. He slam
med a clean hit over the keystone
sack, scoring both Bruce and
Smith. Further tallies were cut
off by the fine head work Of back
stop Car1igan of the visitors.
With Browne on first and Shelton
on third a delayed steal was at
tempted. Against practically every
team, Newport has worked this
play with facility. But Carrigan
sensed the vancouver. He pegged
fiercely to his second baseman,
who hesitated long enough to en-
courage Shelton to try for home.
The throw spanked into Carrigan 6
big mitt and Joel was nipped by
inches. 1t was a beautiful play.
Newport scored again in the
sixth and again in the eighth. A
single marker at time was all
that the fine defensive work of the
visitors would allow to trickle in.
After Benny Tryon had flied out
to Steve Patten in the sixth, Ross
secured a safe clout 10 left and
completed the circuit, when Ma
loney drove out the longest hit of
the game a screeching two Dagger
that Lotus did noblv in holding to
two sacks. 1t was Malo that was
responsible for another marker in
the eighth. Tryon reached first,
as Halligan fumbled momentalfiy
his grounder land scored when
Maloney banged out his third safe
hit in four times at bat.
Plattsburg threatened to break
into the run column in the seventh
inning. Hills had singled to Try
on, and Norton was walked. On
Patterns grounder to Maloney,
Hills ambled on to third. Rose
beck drove out a long arch to
Smith who made a nerfect catch
and a corkin throw in to Ross 1
Hills scored with ease, but in an
which followed it was
contended by Ginger Bruce that
the former left the bag before the
sphere was caught. After a hot
discussion Hills was declared out,
and the run discounted.
