The Ardmore Producers took one and
put one here Saturday afternoon, break.
ing even in the double header versus the
Sherman Red Sox, taking the first con-
test by the lopsided score of 11-2 and
dropping the second, which was re-
duced to seven innings by the tally
OF 6-5.
Both games We're miXed-up affairs,
with expensive errors by members OF
both clubs marring the play and yet,
on the other hand, the duet of games
was balanced due TO misplays pulled by
both aggregations.
Lefty Ferguson, former member OF
the local club started both games for
Sherman, but did not last in either fray.
In the first jamboree he took the k. o.
lin the second session, after he had
walked three men and Clopf had sim
sled and q couple of runs had been
registered. He retired with two op,
both of whom came over the platter
when Payne singled and Jones whizzed
q twobagger TO the right field boards,
both hitting producers registering off
the delivery Of Glenn, who had sue.
( ceeded Fergy. Payne and Jones came
home when Bugs Young laid down
Texas Lacquer behind second A total
Of six runs was chalked in this session.
., In the fifth the Producers added the
other five, starting with walk by
Jones, three successive singles by
Young, Bogus and Ballafant, and a
! steaming threebase slam to deep cen
ter by Stockyard Pemberton. Pember-
ton came home when Seaman made
bad throw TO the infleld from center.
Pemberton's whang drove Glenn from
the diamond high spot and Higginbot-
ham held the Producers coo-coo during
the rest Of the game.
Yeager twirled a good game for Ard
more during the first mix.up and had
a no-hit no-run schedule during the
first five innings. In the seventh Fer
guson drove in the first run with
single, Seaman coming over the plate
after he had reached first on fielder's
choice and went to second on a wild
pitch. Two successive singles topped
by two-bagger by Kelly in the ninth
gave them their other score.
The Producer started too late in the
second game to overcome lead which
the Red Sox had acquired. A mean
/ line drive over the left field boards in
the second by Supina, with Mckay on
/, first, registered two runs for the visit
ors with Ketchum, who started for
, Ardmore on the mound. The Texans
added another in the fifth which might
have been averted but for an error la
butter fingers and an error of judg
ment. Higginbotham had walked and
went 10 second when Ferguson bunted
70 Ketchum, who threw to second after
Higginbotham had firmly established
himself there with ease. He went to
third on a sacrifice and came over the
platter on Payne's error.
But the sixth was the cruelest Of them
all. Mckay and Campbell successfully
singled. Ketchum was ousted and re.
lieved by Crowson. Supina was safe
at first when he grounded to Ketchum.
who made a perfect throw to Behren
TO head off Mckay, but the pill bounced
out OF the Dutchman's mitt. Ferguson
drove a long fly to Bogus and Mckay
tailed. Higginbotham slammed the
onion for the single which scored the
other two runs.
The Producers staged a comeback in
the sixth which made the Red Sox
worry. Bogus came across with q
two-bagger to deep left and was home
when Behren repeated with two-baser.
Lemasters walked. Then along came
Crowson and busted the hit which
scored Behren and Lemasters. This
brought the Producers total up TO four.
In the seventh Dee Payne rolled a hon.
er over the right field fence for another
and then the scoring stopped. Payne's
circuit drive was over Tom Echols' Con-
science Station sign. which nets Dee a
five spot In addition to the silver show.
