the most exciting and interesting
game witnessed on the local lot this
season Wilson won the third and de-
Gliding game from Portsmouth yester-
day by the score of 5 to 4. The game
began as a real contest and continued
thruout to present thrills and ex-
citement a plenty. Never was the con-
test certain, and not until the last
man flew out to Ty Smith in the
ninth was the outcome sure.
Bennett began the hurting burden
for Wilson and for the first three in
nings he had everything his way al
lowing just ten men to face him.
In the fourth and fifth, however,
Portsmouth got to him for couple
of runs in each frame, and Joliff was
sent to the mound to relieve him
Benefits hard luck was aided great
ly by an error which permitted
his performance was a most credit
able one. Joliff went in the fifth
after two had been retired and with
a runner on third. He easily disposed
of the last batter, and thereafter al
lowed but two hits. One of these
came in the ninth inning, when Nc
Gloughlin led off with a two bagger
against the right field fence, but good
pitching and air tight support pre-
vented a score.
McGloughlin pitched for Ports
mouth but did not work out his
usual game. In all except two innings
he was in hot water, and but for good
support in all but the second inning,
the runs secured off him would have
been much greater. Two fast double
plays aided his cause greatly, but
at that Wilson secured ten hits and
worked him for five passes. AS usual
Blacks work of the stellar variety,
as was that of Bangs.
For Wilson the hitting of Walters,
Walker and Kline featured, while the
fielding of Martin and Walters, and
the wonderful catch of Smith in cen
ter on the hard hit fly of McGIough-
lin stood out
Thruout the contest Wilson played
better brand of baseball and, took
advantage of her chances to turn OPP
portunities into score. This was par
ticularly true in the third inning
when with Head, Kline and Bennett
on bases Bangs threw Martins
grounder wide in an effort to catch
Head at home, an all three men scor-
ed in rapid succession. 1t was just
about the best bit of base running
seen this season; the kind: of play
ing that means runs to the team that
pulls it.
The scoring was done as follows
In the third inning Wilson secured
four runs on four hits and timely
errors on the part of Portsmouth.
Head and Kline singled, Bennett

third, Walker singled scoring Mar

ond, Kline singled scoring Head,
