Fandom in and around Fallon is
rejoicing this week over the fact
that their favorite ball tossers have
beaten the LINK" which for two
years seemed to have been camping
on their trail every time they play
ed a game of base ball away from
the home lot.
Sunday they went to Yerington
and met greatly strengthened
nine. Smith who pitched so effect
lively the last inning in the game
played with that team upon their
last visit here, was. sent in to battle
the heavy hitting Fallonites. He
lasted seven innings pitching most
effectively throughout with the ex-
ception of the first inning when Fal-
Ion made four hits which scored two
runs. Stewart was sent to the
mound for Fallon and showed his
old time form. For six innings he
baffied the Yerington team with his
fast ones, allowing but two hits
during that time. In the seventh
inning Fallon put another run
across the plate giving them a total
of five, enough to win as many
games the way Stewart was then
going. In Yerington's time at bat
in the aftal seventh, HUFF the first
man to face Stewart got a life on
an error by Shortstop Powell and
then the big doings began. Stewart
was trying to baIle the Yerington
batsmen. but Whitaere, Peril, Rey-
mers connected safely and the star
board side of the old boat went reel
ing. When calm appeared on the
horizon. Yerington had pushed
across the home plate six runs and
the count was then one in their
favor. Yerington fandom had
real inning here and the authori-
ties lost control of themselves and
everybody else for a few moments;
fans rushing in on base lines and
aout the home plate until II was
hard to find Fallon's little catcher.
This outurst was of short duration
Fallon came to bat In their half of
the eighth and one was reminded of
a noisy Fourth of July celebration;
the way Fallon hoped to Pete Per-
ri, who had replaced Smith in the
box-as one Yerington fan was
heard to remark its simply awful"
1t sure was. Powell led his team
mates at bat in that inning and like
a good beacon light In a high sea
guided his mates by rapping out
nifty single over first base, going to
third in a few moments through the
aid of a smashing two-bagger by
Hawley. In rapid succession Fallon
batters stepped to the plate and met
the ball squarely for three two-bag-
gers and three singles, Powell. Haw-
ley, Thatcher. Knoblock, Steve and
Dickerson being the lucky mariners
in this inning to land their crew
once more at the head of the process
sion. Yerington succeeded in put
ting two more runs across the plate
In their half of this inning and the
count was again becoming uncom-
Portable for the gang from Fallon;
Powell again led his mariners to bat
but this time the rope slipped and he
fell overheard and the life line was
thrown out Just as he went down for
the third count which sent him to
the emergency hospital for a change
of dry duds In which to make the
homeward journey. While he was
the change his mates were
taking advantage of the slants of
suds Peril was dishing up
and again sent four shippers across
the rubber and the game was about
over. Yerington failed to do any
damage in their half of the ninth.
The final score stood 13 to in fav-
or of Fallon.
Hawley whose hitting has been
source Of worry to the little back
stop secured two singles, a double
and triple in five times at bat In
Sundays game.
Sampson replaced Ferguson at
third in the eighth inning due to
slight accident to one OF Ferguson's
fingers In handling fast one. Steve
