Timely Bingles by the
Caldwell Team Makes
Snappy Game.

Caldwell won a baseball game Sum
day. But it took the Cellar Diggers to
let the locals cop and, at that, Manager
Hurts team nosed out fluky vic
tory by an 81 score. Erraric fielding
by the Emmett outfeld lost the game
for the visitors while the locals time
" hitting was feature.
At that, the contest was the kind
fans like to see. Emmett jumped in
the lead with one counter in the sec
ond frame and maintained it until the
fourth inning when Caldwell collected
four tallies on as many hits, the first
one being Benedict's home run contri-
button. Sherman followed that wallop
with three Dagger and Lockwood
was benched, despite the fact that
these were the first two hits Caldwell.
had collected off the elongated south
paw Aston went in cold and Sher-
man scored on a wild pitch. Cornell
tripled and scored on Framback's
beautiful sacrifice bunt. Stewart re
sponded to a cordial greeting from
the grandstand with neat double.
HURT took one in the ribs and Lyke
pounded one to left field that Scot
dropped and Stewart scored Ansell
hit a drive that had all the earmarks
of double but the bail bounded off
Aston's shins almost squarely into the
first basemsn's glove for the third out
Emmett came back in the next
frame with tally on two hits and a
sacrifice and then added four more in
the next frame on four solid wallops
including one double, two sacrifice
hits and Benedict's error on Coffee's
grounder over the first sack.
Aston settled down and although
Cornell led off with a single in the
sixth, this was Ca:dwell's only hit
until the eighth. Framback got a life
in this frame when Cummings threw
wide to first. He went to second on
the play. Stewart flew out to short
and HURT grounded out, Aston to
first. But Lyke, playing IN center
field, hit a nice one at the third
sack that bounded into the diamond
for pretty single. Ansell flew to
center but the fielder dropped the ball
and Framback scored. Fisk beat out
a hit to deep short and Benedict con-
nected safely again with a high
bounding ball over the inheld, clean
ing the sacks except for himself.
Although Emmett had added one
score to her total in the first half OF
the eighth inning, the ninth went by
without further scoring and the locals
had sailed the game away after it had
twice been lost Emmett died fighting
however, and gave fans real scare in
the ninth when the head of the visitors
batting order came up. Moon went
out to Benedict unassicted on close
play and Stewart had two strikes on
Brown when he grooved the third
pitched ball and the batter drove il
squarely at Cornell. Taken complete
ly by surprise. the shortstop dropped
the pellet. Otkins followed with hit
but Brown over ran second and was
caught between the sacks for the sec
ond out Cummings connected for an
other hit and Otkins went to third
Cummings stole second but the best
that Scott could do was to ground
out, Cornell to Benedict, on neat
play.
The work of Sherman behind the
platter was notable. Webb was absent
on a moonshine case and the scrappy
centerfielder more than capably filled
his shoes, felded the position admir-
ably and was working every minute
The inheld shakeup looked good, An
