men and giving only one base on balls
Reilly served at the other end OF the pat
terry yesterday and gave up three hlts'
one of them a pop-fly which was not
fielded. He famed five men and gave
free passes to four. Shelton was the an
round star of the game. In addition 10

and was given a base on balls IN two
trips to the plate. He also handled three
chances perfectly, stole five bases and
scored two of the three runs made by
his team AS usual heavy hitting was
conspicuous by it's absence.
The Lone Scouts had a fine chance to
score in the first inning. Brown singled
to center and went to second when K.
wilkins throw-in went wild. He tried
for third base and was out when he over
slid the bag. Caro- hit through the box
and was out, Campbell to Stubbins when
he attempted to steal. Breen disturbed
the air.

drew a walk He promptly stole second
and third and scored on K. Wilkins
slashing drive to center. Wilkins reached
second base when Cunningham couldn't
stop Wilburn's low throw-in. He went
to third on a wild pitch. L. wilkins

to the pitcher on which K. wilkins scored.

second, but was stranded on the key
stone sack when Stubbins drew a k. o.
Shelton opened the second inning with
a corker to left and stole the interven-
ing bases. scoring his teams first run.
Reilly frightened down and struck out
Markham but he couldn't find the plate.
Cusacks, the left fielder, went to second
on a passed ball Zung drew walk. It
looked as if the Lone Scouts would score
again, but they gummed the deal by some
bum base-running or rather lack OF base
running. Cusacks was caught mapping
off second base. and Zung got the habit
and over-slid the second sack.
With one down in the second inning,
Eglehoff hit to left. Zung made a pretty
body stop. Eglehoff stole second and
went to third on an error by the catcher,
but was left on base when Marasales and
Willie missed their opportunity to bat in
a run.
Neither team scored in the third in
ming. Caro- opened the fourth by hitting
a liner to Reilly, who fielded the ball
and threw to first without getting out

cheered up the Lone Scouts somewhat
by drawing a walk and stealing second.
Markham followed suit. After fouling off
about fifteen balls. Cusacks laid hot
one down the first base line which L.
Wilkins fumbled, Shelton and Markham
scoring. It was fast getting dark.
Campbell started the Boy Scouts half
of the fourth by clouting the ball to right
field. but he would have been out on
second if Caro- hadn't nuffed Zungs
quick return. He ran wild to third and
saved his team from defeat when he stole
home after long chase in which nearly
the whole Lone Scout team took part
Stubbins fouled to Markham. D'Alem-
berte was given life when WiIburn
misjudged his high fly. but was out try
