DAYTON VICTORIOUS
over EAGLE PLAYERS
IN TEN INNING GAME


athletics Sunday were forced to go an
extra inning to defeat the locals, 5 to 4.
Pete" Minner, Eagle hurler, al |
lowed 13 hits, but his steadiness in the
pinches with the base loaded left IL
Dayton runners stranded on the bases.
After things were tied up and the Day
ton side was retired by three strike |
outs by Minner in the ninth inning,
the Eagles had one of the biggest
chances of the game to win.
But for one bad play in the Eagle
half OF the ninth inning, the game
would have been over, with the local
team one run to the good. After Min
ner had struck out the three men who
faced him in the Dayton half OF the
ninth inning, the Eagles came to bat
with a big chance to take the game
out of the fire. Hubbard, first up in
this inning, hit for triple to left
field. He became a bit anxious and
over-ran third base fully six feet He
Immediately saw his plight, but he
could not return fast enough to regain
his bag before the Dayton third sacker
had nipped him off. Reddinghaus and
Eubanks hit grounders for the side
retiring outs.
Matinee Spilled
In the Dayton half of the tenth In
ming, the entire matinee was spilled
for good. Blotz, first up, hit Texas
Lacquer to right field, which Fitzgib-
bons made fast run for. but dropped.
Tracy hunted Blotz along to second
base, and was safe himself after Hub
bard made big attempt to force Blotz
at second. Halterman called the man
safe, and it was his second boner of
the game. The play was as clear to
the human eye as it could have been
with sypglass, and it surely did put
a damper on the game. If ever a
runner was forced out on a squeeze
play, the Dayton man was one of this
variety. Then up came Carson, who
hunted safely to Minner and Mum
ger followed with another safe bunt to
the same place, scoring Blotz. Canton
then flied to Eubanks in left field.
Tracy tried to score, but Eubanks'
peg was good and Hubbard had him
in good time. Langlois then grounded
to Snyder for the third out
Fitzgibbons was first up in the
Eagles half Of the tenth and the fans
were calling to him for a big safety.
Cy tried hard on his first swing, but
the best he could do on his next at
tempt was a grounder to the Dayton
second-sacker. ]. Logan tried for that
much-needed hit and grounded to the
same section. Clements hit to the
shortstop for his first hit of the game
Then when Snyder came up, every
body thought that he would produce
inasmuch as he had flied out when al
bat previously. Snyder hit for a
chashing drive to right field, which
looked good for at least three bases
=,
and the crowd began to hunt the
exits.
Dayton Takes Lead.
Dayton took a big lead in the open
ing inning on Carson's triple to right
field. Munger Bunted and was safe
on Hubbards tumble Of the ball Cat
ton flied out to Clements, Langlois
struck out, and then when Smales was
up and Minner had two strikes on him
Carson left third when Minner wound
up. Pete saw him advancing for tbs
plate and threw wide for Hubberd
Hubbard had the ball waiting for Car
son, but Halterman pulled his frs
poor decision of the game by over
looking the fact that the runner wa
tagged before he go within two fee
of the plate. The umpire called tn
runner safe, and that started things
Smales was hit by pitched ball
Then Richter hit for a single to lef
field, scoring Munger. Johnson wa
safe on Reddinghaus's wild throw t
first base and Smales scored the thir,
run of the inning. BlotZ struck-out
