 Wild Pitch Disastrous.
 Springfield scored her first run in the fourth when Attreau beat out an infield hit, stole second. and advanc- ! ed to third on Duffy's inf1eld out. He ! crossed the plate on a, wild pitch by Vine.
 In the eighth inning when the rIummell tribe put the game on ice hv scoring two runs, Vine made a bad start by hitting Nagle. Mayberry , sacrificed. ONen driving Nagle across the plate on his single to center, tle- i ing the score. Then, there was Alfn- naerman's two sacker to right and a wild pitch that permitted O'Neu to , tally.
 Pony Eaters BaffIed.
 Nevertheless Vine displayed class in his debut before a local crowd. He mixed his offerings to such an eX- tent that not a ball reached the out field until Oberc flied out 10 tte1IlE in the sixth. The first safe hit to reach the outfieId was ONen's single past Irving in the eighth. Under the rcumstances 1t was a hard game for MT. Vine to lose. Vine also made a hit with the crowd when he banged out a single to cen ter in his first time at bat.
 Martin Drives in Tsun-
 Kingdom scored Bridgep pOrts first . tally in the second when he slapped the ball to center and Fiedler walk ed. Martin dropped a Texas leaguer over second, scoring the Californian.
