SEASONS BEST GAME
RESULTS IN VICTORY
FOR VISITING TEAM

Russ Hawekotte AID McCracken en-
gagged in a pitchers battle Sunday att
ernoon at Exhibition park, with Nc
Cracker getting the better OF the
argument by a to 0 score, due to
the excellent support given him by his
teammates. Hawekottes support was
very poor in the pinches.
The game probably was the best
played at Exhibition park this season,
both teams fighting until the last man
was out for a victory.
Lynn put fine exhibition in the
field. getting away with two double
plays that killed two possible chances
for the Eagles to score. The work OF
Arnett at short for the visitors was
very brilliant. having eight chances
and only bobbled one of them. He
started one of the double plays, after
a nice catch of line drive, that cut
off a possible run.
Lynn Boys Determined.
The Lynn boys were determined to
win and played with the snap and de-
termination of winners They kept
plugging along at the slants OF Have
kottee until they managed to push two
- -
two hits.
Hawekotte pitched better brand of
ball than did McCracken but the
breaks of the game were against him.
On two different occasions, due TO er-
rors. the visitors filled the bases and
forced Russ to fan the next batters
out for the final outs. Russ allowed
only four hits and 10 of the Lynn bat
tiers went out via the strike-out route.
Russ was inclined to be bit wild, Is
suing five free tickets to first base.
McCracken also was working good,
allowing the Eagles only six blows
and tanning six batters. Many times
he was in trouble but a double play
or some fast fielding by Arnett cut
down the Eagles chances.
Third Gives Locals Chance
The third inning saw the best
chance for the Eagles to score. j. Lo-
gan went out pitcher to first and
Hawekotte worked McCracken for a
pass Fitzgibbons beat out bunt TO
first and H. Logan repeated on
bunt down the third base line, when
McCracken slipped and fell fielding
the ball Reddinghaus, instead OF
bunting, again hit weak tap to Nc
Cracker, who threw to the plate ana
Hubbard in turn doubled him at first,
ending the inning.
The Eagles had several other
chances to score but could not deliver
the necessary punch. Lynn was espe-
cially weak on the bunting game, the
Eagles getting half of their hits in
the infield.
knight put up a good game behind
the bat for the locals handling Russ
in fine style. and made a nice catch OF
a high foul ball that went back to
the backstop, off the bat of Hubbard
Minner and Arnett also made two nice
catches of hard hit balls that looked
good for safe drives. Fitzgibbons was
the heavy hitter of the day getting
two hits out of four trips to the plate,
connecting with the first ball pitched
by McCracken for a double to left
center.
Series Arranged
Arrangements have been made by
the management of the two teams for
a series of games to be played be-
tween the two teams, playing series

double headers. ...--.....

the Eagles and handled his part of the
