touches on pitchers duel in a most
desirous manner Tuesday afternoon

in the last half of the ninth inning and
50 brought the winning run across
the plate that broke the tie and won for
the Pops my the score of 80. There
were two men down and a man on third
when Bugs slammed out his Texas
Lacquer to center and scored Nayloy.
1t was really most pleasant but un-
expected finale TO one of the most close
ly contested games the winning Pops
have engaged in here this season.
The game started rather loosely and
gave all indications of becoming an err
iorful contest similar to that of Monday
but costly error in the first put some
life in the Pops and they frightened up
and played great ball. A weak spot
was found again in the sixth, when
the visitors slipped a second run across,
but the game in general was so well
played that the few errors were over
looked and forgotten as the game con-
tinued
Sherman started the scoring in the
first session. Bugs tried to ruin all
hope of the visitors right off the reel,
when he started by tanning Lewis first
man up Stahlcup, Shermans heavy
hitter, was not phased, however, and
slammed out a 2-bagger to center.
Griggs flied out to Holtz. Hillman
grounded TO Young, who was playing
shortstop for the first time this season,
but Young failed to hold on, and when
he did finally recover threw too low 10
first and Hillman went to second while
Stahlcup crossed the rubber Hillman
stole third, aided by one that dropped
from Mobley's mtt, and tried to steal
home hut was nabbed at the plate by
Mobley who had him out by mile.
The Pops tied the score in the Sec
ond half of the first session. Payne got
a walk Behren laid down neat sacri-
flee. Reynolds flied out to Bartell. Jones
placed a sure hit and Payne came home.
The score was tied IL until the sixth
inning when Sherman put another run
ner over for a score. Stahlcup again
started it when he reached first safely
after Behren fumbled his grounder. He
went to second on Griggs sacrifice He
reached third when Hillman grounded
TO Reynolds and was thrown out at
first. In an effort to prevent a score,
PEBBLES, the sure hitter of the visitors,
was walked Grow, running for PEBBLES
put one over the Pops when he pulled
an old play that works every once in
a while He started to steal second when
Mac was not looking. After he had al
most reached the second sack, Mac be.
came aware of what was going on. so
he attempted to head off Crow at sec.
ond. Reynolds dropped the ball and
Stahlcup crossed the plate.
The score was tied again in the sec
ond half of the sixth when with two
men down, Jones drove a neat 3-bagger
TO the right field fence. The ball hit
about two feet inside the foul line bacl;
of first, took on a bunch of English
and rolled to the right field fence. Young
came across with the necessary single !
to right, and Jones scored.
