LYNN LOSES BATTLE
TO RICHMOND SUNDAY;
BYRKETT Is STRONG

Don Byrkett blazoned his name in
the Eagles hall of fame Sunday after
noon by continuing his onslaught on
opposing pitchers and being the out
standing feature in the Eagles defeat
of Lynn 5 to at Exhibition park Sun
day afternoon.
Before crowd that packed the
grandstand, made up of enthusiastic
supporters of both teams, the two
rival teams played one of the best ex-
hibitions of the national pastime seen
on the local lot this season.
1t was anybody's gall game up until
Clements hit an easy grounder to Long
in the ninth inning for the final out
of the game. The general last inning
exit was not seen Sunday as too
many unexpected things had happen
ed in the game previous to that time
to make it a certainty that the game
might not continue into extra innings.
Rioters Back Lynn.
Lynn can't to town accompanied by
the majority of the townfolk if the
amounting of roofing can be taken as
an indication. They took the field
with logged determination to annex
the eastern Indiana laurels that seem
to be resting on the Eagles brow.
Holsinger, a Muncie product, was
on the mound for them and it can be
truthfully said that he had most of
the local batters standing on their
head when not beating an ignominious
retreat to the dugout Byrkett and
Justice can be excepted from this
classification.
The other members of the Lynn nine
league style. There was capering all
over the. outer garden gathering in
high flys hit by Eagles.
Visitors Offensive Strong.
Long, Logan and Reddinghaus were
the Lynn aggregation. Minner on the
mound handled himself in good style
with the exceptions of the second and
seventh innings.
The first inning was a long drawn
out affair although only three men
faced each pitcher. Hoover, first man
up for Lynn poled out a two-bagger
but was caught mapping ct the key
stone sack. Spillers and Jones hit
long flys to the outfield.
Holsinger worked slow as a sorg
hum factory but famed Logan and
Long while Fitzgibbons was out on
an easy fly to Hoover.
The second inning Lynn brought out
the heavy artillery Clements hit q
single and Holsinger cracked out a
long hit to deep center which went
over Justices head for home run
bringing in two scores. The Eagles
threatened in their half, filling the
bases with none out, but the Lynn
hurler frightened up, and with gooo
support succeeded in preventing .

the Eagle followers. Clements, second
