Runs We're not properly apportioned
in yesterdays double header, the Pals
making 9 while the Cats made six,
but the Cats got an equal division of
the two games. They won the first
one to and the Pals took the sec
ond, to 0.
One bad inning in the first game
was enough to lose for the Pals. Ep-
person was hit hard, five singles being
secured in the first round and aided
and abetted by wild heave by Char
ley and base on balls netted the Wis
itors five runs. After that they were
starved out the rest of the afternoon,
only crossing the plate once in the
next fifteen innings of play.
On the eve of winding up most
successful season the Pals played er-
ratio ball, pulling off some brilliant
stuff at times, and again webbing
like a hula dancer. Pfeiffer was hit
hard in the first game, yielding two
home runs by Fry and one by Gala
han among the nine safeties secured,
but the Pals amassed six errors be-
hind Sanford and Epperson.
In the first game Stephens, first up,
flew out to center and Leon singled
to left, Rymer singled to right. Brown
singled to left and Peters let the ball
get away, Stephens scoring, Stuart
walked, and Larzo threw to second
with no one there, scoring Brown.
Taylor hit in front of the plate and
EpperSOn threw out Rymer. Bracken
and Overstreet singled, scoring Stuart
and Taylor, Bracken coming home on
OverstreePs single. With two out
Epperson was relieved and Sanford
went in. Pfeiffer flew out to left.
Ery's home run in the second was
the only score made by the pals.
The visitors came back with another
in the third, their last run of the day.
Stuart singled through short and
Taylor bunted in front of the plate,
LarzO threw to first, but hit Taylor
in the back, giving both runners base.
Both runners advanced on Bracken's
infield out ad Suart scored on Over
streets sacrifice fly to left
In the sixth the Pals put over three
runs. Kowalski walked and Robinson
singled to center when Ery poled his
second home run, scoring three. Quinn
popped up to short and Peters sing
led over second, Brown knocking the
ball down, but was unable to throw
Pete out. Peters was caught steal
ing and Larzo grounded out to second
The Pals staged a rally in the sew
enth and all took hope. Barstow
walked, and Sanford was out for pun
ting the third strike. Callahan flew
out to seConi and Kowalski singled to
right. Robinson walked and the fans
called on Bugs for his third homer
with three on. He worked Pfeiffer
for three balls, then took two strikes
and hit the sixth ball hard for the
left field fence, but it lacked about
five feet of getting over, Stuart max
ing a brilliant catch, retiring the side
In the ninth Callahan polled one ov-
er for the Pals fifth run, but Kowal-
ski and Robinson were not able to get
on and hope vanished.
Luke Shows EN- Up.
There wasn't anything to the second
game but Lucas. The Pals could have
won without an outfielder. Luke
famed eleven in seven innings, walk
ed one and gave up one hit with two
down. If all three balls that went TO
the outfield had been accredited home
runs the Pals still would have won.
Barstow got a put out in left, Quinn
one in center and Bracken singled
