Mt. Vernon Hurler Strikes

Ted 6lubaush just escaped hurIing
a no-hit, no-run game Sunday after
noon in the engagement with New
Ccmerstown at the ball yard. After
holding the visitors hitless for seven
innings, he let down and was punish.

ninth.
For long while it looked like the
fans were to be permitted to see one
of those baseball classics they read
about but seldom see-a no-hit. mo-
run, no.runner getting-to-first game.
But one by one these possibilities
faded.
While Mt, Vernon won by an to |
score, 1t was not such One-sided con-
test as the figures might indicate.
The home team made six Of it's runs
i'm the eighth frame, which indicates
the brand of ball the fans had dished
out up to that time.
New Comerstown maintained its
record of playing good ball when the
team comes to Mt. Vernon. They
sometimes win and sometimes lose,
but they always play good ball In
Sundays contest, Mt. Vernon scored
one in the second frame, after which
the play went five innings further be-
fore our second score was put across
the plate. New Comerstown made
their only score in the eighth.
The break came in the eighth. Mt.
Vernon cracked Just a little, but
enough to let the visitors get one run
across New Comerstown went all
to the bad and at the end Of the
round we totaled six runs for the one
inning. About everything Norcross
offered was hit. In, addition to four
singles and two doubles charged ia
his account, he also is credited with
two passes.
Game Features
The game had several features, the
chief of which was the hurting done
by Blubaugh Until the eighth. the
visitors were unable to hit him safe
ly at all, and not until the ninth were
they able to bunch on him. But at
that. Blubaugh gave the fans some
thing to talk about for a while.
The first faeture stunt pulled by
BMbaugh was to fan six New Corners
