THIS ONE,EASY
FOR BACHARACHS
Second Inning Attack Puts
Baltimore Soxsin the
Cooler
LUNDY STEALS
p ALL THE BASES

Drawing the largest mid-week
crowd seen this season at Harlan
Field. as a result no doubt of the
fierce 12-inning tussle uhe day pre-
vious. the Bacharach Giants battled
in the second game of their series
with the Baltimore Black Sox yes
terday and won with much greater
ease over the speedy Monumental
City nine. TO 3. 1t is estimated
that 1900 fans saw the struggle in
which thrills galore were provided
through the superior a-icletof ball.
Loose work on the part Of tie Sox
battsry at the start was the only
m 4tring featuring. Midnight"
Smith, the speed ball artist OF the
invaders, displayed a tendency to,
talcsn things too easy and was mot
held up 10 any extent by Lewis, his
mate behind the bat. The catcher
had a hard time holding the shoots
OF Smith and finally removed him
self and inserted Charlie Thomas, al,
ways favorite with the local fans.
Thomas put a lot more pep into
Smith and the Sox as a whole and 1t
was a close contest for then on.
SGeeter the Bacharachs little left
hander. worked in his best form OF
the local season with coolies of stuff
on the sphere. He was touched for
nine hits but not all Of them were
clean. His performance in the
pinches kept the invaders away from
the, scoring station and was one of
theo outstanding features of the game.
The Baltimoreans started with a
flourish and il looked like curtains
for the Bacharachs right in the
opening session when they poured
a run into the plate. But the locaIs
were there with the come back and
evened up the count in their half.
Then the second in which Lundy
and his men put the game on ice
with a trio of tallies. Another run
in the fourth was the result OF
Lundy's lone daring. He emulated
Ty Cobb when he kept the Sox
throwing the ball in an attempt to
stop him and circled the hassocks !
before the horsehide had been de-
liveEed to the plate again after he
had singled sharply. Attempts were
made to get him at second and to
head him off at third but he had the
visitors so well up in the air that
theyslcame no where near tagging
him in their hurried handling of the
ball Lundy's work afield again
spariled and he drew Individual at !
ten<ion through his snappy handling |
of the ball. A run deep into left
field and one hand catch of one /
rhich was labeled as a sure Texas
81 guer shared honors with Reeds
one hand spear of a drive and Rags
sharing OF a foul after a hard run,
both in left field.
Blrdell Young. Bacharachs' young
right fielder, again was the leading
cracking out double
and triple and figuring prominently
IN the scoring of runs. Chance Cum
mings first sacker of the locals also
droye- out a couple of safeties. Ridg-
ley. Hall and Wilson were the lead
ers in this department for the Sox.
Rags. left gardner for the visitors
was made a present of a home run
in the ninth. When Young went
after his high and long fly in right
he tripped and the ball bounced from
his glove into long grass agains, the
fence while he was going down. Be
fore the elusive sphere could be re-
covered the speedy Rags had cir
cled the bases.
