port leader leapeQ nlgn IN the air,
and clutched the sizzling pellet
with his gloved hand. Nels des-
erved all the generous applause
that was showered on him by
every fan in the park.
The contest was now going
along swimmingly, except for con-
slant grabbing of the umpire's de-
cisions by the visitors. and New
port tied the score again in the
fourth. After Kopf had grounded
out, Bernie Star drove out beau
tiful two Dagger. Nicora followed
suit and Bernie came in with the
tying score.
Witty was pitching fine ball and
it was only occasionally that he
could be found for a real swat.
Nicora's double to left field was
hit off waste ball that struck the
handle of his bat.
The fifth inning produced no
runs for either club. In st. Johns
bury's turn at bat, Martin sent a
slow roller down to Bower 1t was
too snail-like for Brainy to handle
and the blow went for a safe hit.
Witty also singled but the pair of
Fairbanks base runners were left
stranded on the sacks.
Both teams punched hits in the
sixth inning. Maloney was rob-
bed of two Dagger but Eastburn
the start Newport left fielder ran
and turned his back to the sailing
horsehide la Iris Speaker, stop
ping dead in his tracks Just in the
nick of time to snare the difficult
clout.
Ted Butler re-opened fire with a
single to right center and then
came Kelley's hard-hit ball that
went for three bases in the race
track back of right field. 1t was
an honest-to-goodness triple.

eye and sent Z monosack looping

crash, the longest swat of the
game, fell in deep center and roll

sheds before it was retrieved and
thrown back into the league from
whence it came. The net result
of this terrific batting was three
runs for Fairbanks.
Newport went right to work
and evened up matters in their
turn of the sixth. Kopf was given
. base on balls and took second
when Butler muffed Bernie STAIRS
fly. EastbuIn singled sharply to
left field and Butler whipped it

ter ushered in both Eastburn ana
Nicora, with the markers which
tied the score 5 to 5.
Two St Jonnsbury men were
placed on the sacks with none out
in the seventh when Grieve sec
ured another base on balls and

second infeld error. Maloney's
brutal three base drive furnished
Grieve and Witty the necessary
motive power to amble across the
home saucer. The Fairbanks A. A.
then walked ahead with an 8 to
) lead.
Captain Nels Laird was issued
a walk in the seventh as Witty
grew bit unsteady, Bower also
