\ 1t was just simply too hot to play
ball Yesterday and that's a fact. 1t
was either this or an abundance of
confidence on the part of the Wilson
team that caused them to display
about the raggedest fielding game
that they have put up this season.
The thing of supreme importance,
however, was accomplished for we
won the count by the score OF IL to
z, and this score is just as good as
any when the percentage column is
considered. BY winning we retained
our five game lead, and in case we
can retain this lead few days lon
ger it will be a practical impossible
ity for any team in the League to
head us for the second half pennant.
Hearne was on the mound for Will
son, and while not displaying quite
the same brand of ball pitched by
him on Monday he pitched well
enough to chalk up win, and this
was true even in the face of rather
ragged support at times. He allowed
ten hits and walked four men, but
on the other hand he famed eight
and secured one fifth as many hits
as he allowed. For the first two in
nings he was absolutely unhittable,
and by that time his team mates had
piled up eight runs for him. There
after he seemingly let up somewhat
and in the third and sixth innings
Suffolk got to him for seven runs
He came back strong in the seventh
tanning every man that faced him,
and he furthermore set them down in
row in the eighth and ninth. ~~a..
Woodburn began hostilities for
Suffolk and lasted just exactly one
and one third innings. He was re-
lieved by Snyder at this point, and he
Jared but little better. The two
pitchers allowed the Bugs fifteen hits
for eleven runs and ten of the eleven
runs were earned 1nterlaced with
the multitude of singles secured by
the Bugs were two two baggers by
Roth, and two two baggers by Miller;
in addition Roth poled out the three
base drive.
The fielding of the Wilson team
was rather ragged but it was re-
deemed by two great plays, one be-
ing by Roth and the other by Wal
tiers. Walker had a good day at short
with the exception of one play when
Ills overthrow of first permitted
couple of counters. The hitting of
Walker, Walters, Roth and Miller,
featured the work for Wilson.
For Suffolk Cunningham and Par
ker were the only men to secure as
many as two hits. The entire team
felded well, however, and this was
particularly true of the work of
Kellerman and Parker. The Suffolk
team held Wilson's scoring down
somewhat by making three double
plays.
The scoring was done as follows.
In the first inning for Wilson Mar
TIN led of with a single, Smith was
out on fly to Brown, Walker hit
one at Woodburn that came near
knocking him down but he was ont
at hrst, Walters singled scoring Mafs
tin, Roth doubled sending Walters to
third, Miller doubled scoring Walters
and Roth, and Head was out on
fly to Parker.
In the second we scored five runs
IN the following manner: Kline walk
ed, Hearne singled sharply to right.
Kline going to third, Martin hit
long fly to Brown scoring Kline
Smith walked, Walker singled to
center, Walters singled scoring
Hearne and Smith, with Snyder re
lieving Woodburn, Walker scored on
passed ball, Walters going to sec
ond, Roth was out Downey to Cum
ningham, Miller doubled to the left
field fence scoring Walters, and Head
was out Kellerman to first,
We scored our final three rms in
the fourth. Walker and Walters sin
gled, Roth tripled scoring Walker
and Rasty, and Miller hit a long
sacrifice fly to center scoring Roth.
Suffolk scored first in the third.
