In the first game, Gillette twlrled
the finest ball he has hurled ON the To-
cal diamond this season. Only two
members Of the visiting team got far
ther than first during the entire game.
One of these was Lewis, Sherman lead
off man, who started the contest by
slamming the pill over the right field
fence for a homer, after he had two
strikes called on him. This was the
sole tally OF the visitors IL was not
lntil the fitch that another Sherman
player got beyond first, and that occur
red when McMoore walked after two
men were down, and reached third on
Thomas 2-bagger to left, but died there
when Gillette started to mix up his
great variety of offerings and famed
Gray Gillette struck out eight oppo-
nents and walked but two The four
hits which he allowed, after Lewis
homer, were well scattered, all being
made in different innings
The victory was clnched for the To-
Gals by their superb fielding and timely
hitting. Three times Pemberton pegged
the pill to second and caught Sherman
runners who attempted to steal In the
eighth Thomas was caught at second
when he attempted to stretch a single
into 2.bagger, and was thrown out by
Payne from deep center.
The Pops pounded Grays delivery
hard In the first game, and the hit-and-
run scoring formation was followed out
TO perfection In the second inning Jones
placed a Texas Lacquer to left for a
single, stole second and scored on Penn
bertons phase line drive to right In
the third, a single, a sacrifice and q
double sent Payne over the rubber
Jones scored again in the fourth. after
he reached first when he was hit tT
a pitched ball, went to second when
Helms dropped third strike, stole third
and came home on an attempted
squeeze play when Pemberton bunted.
Pembcitcn reachef tirst safe On The
bunr. Tie other two tallies for the To-
Gals were scored in the fifth, by the
ala of three singles.
Loose Fielding Costly
Loose fielding by the Pops at the
outset Of the second game, allowed the
visitors to score their winning run. The
piay was tightened Immediately after
but It was too late The disaster occur
red when, after two men We're down.
Belshaw fumbled Griggs' grounder and
the Sherman left fielder was safe at the
first sack. He started TO steal second,
and Pemberton threw in an effort TO
cut him off The throw was wild, how
ever, and out OF reach Of Reynolds, per-
mitting Grigg to 30 to third before it
was recovered Rainey walked With
Grigg on third and Rainey on first, Raj
ney started for second in an effort 10
steal. When Pemberton threw to Rey-
nolds to head him off, Grigg started for
home. Reynolds returned the ball, but
Pemberton dropped it when he was
bowled over by the sherman runner.
The Pops hit Flock harder than the
Sherman batters hit the Ardmore
twirlefs but the bingles OF the locals
did not come at the critical moments.
The second inning furnished the most
exertlng effort Of the Pops to score,
when Webb tried to steal home after
two were down, but was nabbed at the
plate. The prior two outs in this inning
resulted when Jones and Pemberton
hunted foul the third strike.
Gillette started on the mound FOR the
locals in the second game. He pitched
as effective as he had in the first con-
test, but his support was poor He
was relieved In the fifth TO permit Le-
masters to bat for him at a time when
the Pops were striving to bring a runner
across the plate. Barham pitched the
last two innings allowing no hits and no
runs
