regulars, and with a patched-up team
in the field, the Peps managed to come
cut on top Of wierd long g-drawn-out
contest versus Cleburne yesterday af-
ternoon by the score Of 5-4.
The play during the game was very
loose, each team making five errors,
the most of which were costly, but
nevertheless as loose and errorful as
it was, it was interesting, and not
until the Pops broke the tie in the
last half of the ninth inning did any
Of the thousand or more spectators
present leave the field.
Until the last inning a tight pitch
er's duel was marred by the poor sup
port, but in the ninth session, the Pops
got TO Warden for three hits, one Of
which was a scratch, and put across
the winning run. Yoager started the
beginning of the end wren he drove
liner to center for single, reached
second when Gillette burned a ground
er 10 Wisrock which was too hot for
the Cleburne shortstop to handle, and
scored when Reynolds singled to right.
The winning ruin was scored by an
excitingly close margin. Yeager was
on second when Reynolds grounded
the pill between first and second Put
ting forth most strenuous effort to
reach home, Yeager rounded third
and breezed by Lacy few feet left
Of the plate at the same time that the
Cleburne catcher received the pill from
right, but before the backstop could
turn to tag him, Yeager had stepped
on the rubber
Two many walks also proved the
undoing of Warden, for twice Payne
was given a free pass, and each time
he scored.

the game and was responsible direct
ly and otherwise for the scoring OF
OF least two runs. In the first in
