Go Glimmering; Good
Playing.

A home steal in the seventh inning
by Bugs Young put over the run which
brought victory to the Producers. Sat
urday afternoon and laid low the Bon
ham Busters by the score of 81. The
valuable theft was executed with Mil
sted mapping on the mound for the
steal, Jones going to third while Young
slid over the rubber.
1t all started when, with one man
down. Young placed Texas Lacquer
in short center. Jones followed, hitting
the sphere two feet in front of the
plate. White, Bonham backstop, made
effort to head off Young az second,
Nut Rawlns muffed the throw, and
Bugs continued his march to third
while Jones firmly established himself
at second. Webb failed to come across,
making the second out. With Ballfant
at bat, Young took his big lead off
the bag and was three-qunrters way
home while Mllsted was still winding
up, sliding safely into the plate after
to White.
Fought Hard Battle.
The Producers fought a hard battle
Saturday and came through with hon
ors. Their path was toughened when
a questionable decision in the sixth in
ming led up to the only run which Bon,
ham scored. With one man down, and
Phillips on first, Kraigbaum hit high
fly to Clopp which the latter intercepted
with ease. Following his catch he
dropped the ball while attempting to
throw it, and Umpire Stewart ruled
Kraigbaum safe. Phillips had in the
meautme gone to third while Kraig-
baum was on second. Grant singled
scoring Phillips. The decision spoiled
what would have been q hard-earned
shutout for Wilson.
Play was tight during the first five
sessions, Bonham only getting one man
to second and Ardmore placing three
men there The visitors had registered
only one hit during the five frames
and Ardmore chalked up one, a liner
to left by Clopp. Cholley also got him
another in the sixth when he burned
Rawlins fingertps with hot grounder
Held Tight Until Sixth.
Wilson held the Busters bustless un
til the debatable decision in the sixth
ruined matters. He earned the victory
accredited him and made fine show
ing in this, his initial performance
for the Ardmore club. He was taker
out at the end Of the seventh, because
the lead which Bonham had acquired
necesstated the substitution of pinch
hitter in the seventh. Yeager relieved
him and upheld the standard, securing
two strikeouts, and allowing three hits
which proved non-effective thanks t,
the stellar fielding of the Producers.
A barrage of singles in the seventh
by Webb, Behren and Lemasters, pu
over the tally which tied the score
The three singles also rang the bel
for Cason, who was yanked off th'
diamond highspot and relieved by Mil
sted Prior to his downfall. Casoi
twirled an excellent brand Of ball, fan
ming six producers and allowing bu
two hits, both Of which was secured
by Clopp. When Alilsted' ascended
Blackburn was rushed in to pinch 70
Wilson and went to first when he wal
hit by pitched ball. The sacks wer,
filled. but the inning was brought to {
rapid close when C1opp lined into Nil
steds NIT and the Bonham pitche
caught Behren off third, completing
double play.

right center field boards and stole sec
ond. Delmasso singled to right. ant
White attempted to score on the hi
but was caught ihighhanded ut tn
plate, when Jones relayed the ball II
via Young TO Lemasters.
Lemasters played the best game h
has ever engaged in on the local dla
mond, his diary including pegging ou
OF two Busters who attempted To sto0

stick. Frank Jones also came in 10
