the most complicated play of tho evening was pulled for the edifica- tion of tho fans.
 Everybody After Kane
 Brandon, who went into left field at the start of the seventh. started the trouble. Kane, first up, was safe on Bernsen's error on his easy roller. Burkett popped out to Klug- man and Robertson was thrown out at first by Tuero, Kane going to second on the play. Then "Toots' Brandon came up and hit a rousing single directly over second base that Klugman grabbed after a hard try. and Kane, thinking that the ball was hit safely and waved on by the coach, rounded third A mile a minute. Klug- man straightened up and heavcd the bali to Smith who chased Kane back toward third and fell over him without touching him. Smith threw to Graft. who took up the chase, but let Kane get away and he threw to Hook. who returned the ball to Smith who then made the putout. It was a wild few seconds along that third base line and there was very audible sign of relief when the out was made.
 Guyon Gets Homer
 In the first inning. how the locals scored has been told. After two were out Guyon damned the first ball pitched for four sacks. In the second, the Crackers threatened. Bernsen walked and was sacrificed 10 second by Graf Smith forced Bern sen at third and Ritter flew out to Silva.
 In the third inning. Tuero hit a single to center but was forced at second by Hook. Klugman tripled down the left field foul line. SCOT ing Hook, but Guyon and Mayer were infieid outs.
 In tho fourth Bernsen got his frat hit of the afternoon. a single to Smith tripled to right, but was caught off third moment later after Ritter had walked and doubls steal started.
 Cracker Field Day
 Tuero started things again in the fifth with his double to right. Hook moved him up a peg that became two pegs when Bates made wild throw to third in an effort to catch Tuero. The Cuban scored. Hook pull ed up at second. Klugman moved Hook to third on his sacrifice and Guyon counted him with a double to right. Mayer went out to Neun unassisted. Bernsen scored Guyon with his first triple. Graff flew out to Harper.
 Smith singled to right to start the sixth. and Ritter hit into a double play. Burke to Neun, and this rally died out cold.
 It would be safe to say that the seventh inning at Ponce DeLeon yesterday noon was the widest that "Red Bates will have to endure this year, Tho crackers batted around in this frame and Eddie Hook made the first and the third out. Klugman walked and stole second Guyon beat out a perfect bunt down tho third base line and Klugman ad- vanced to the vacant bag. Bates then uncorked wild heave and Klugman scored and Guyon took second Mayerss double scored Guyon and Bernsen scored the goose with his second triple. Graff strolled on four bad ones and Smith cracked a single
