with single and went to second when
the ball was fumbled by Ferguson. While
Sher was trying to slam one out of the lot,
Bona tried again to steal third and as
usual, he was tossed out, Taylor to Bleir.
One score at least was thrown away in
the sixth round on some more daring base
running This time it was Bur who took
the dare and he was finally run down be-
tween second and third. If he had played
safe at second, he could then have ad-
vanced on a single that followed, that
would have filled the bases, then he could
have scored on walk for the following
batter was hit with pitched ball. AS
the plays came about, the side was retired
with no runs.
The scores the locals did get, came in
the eighth and ninth frames. Bur led off
in the eighth with a scratch two-bagger to

frame, swung viciously at three wide ones

locals first run. Eos was thrown out,
Nichelby to Ross. Gall was the first up
in the ninth and he hit safely to left. Bona
scored him on a triple to right center. At
this stage of the game excitement among
the local fans had gone up to fever heat
Amidst all the cheering and roofing, Sher
selected a hickory" that weighed some
thing less than ton. With the force of
the stroke and the energy it took to swing
the club, he, no doubt, had visions of
walloping the ball over the moon. Every
time the ball was delivered to the plate
it must have looked like balloon to him
for he put every bit of strength he had
in swinging the club, with no success.
Nell went out on long sacrifice fly to
center, that scored Bona. 1t looked as
though the game was over when Bur lined
one out to left field, for Severson did not
have to move~out of his tracks to be direct
ly in its course. However, Severson made
the first and only fielding error for the
visitors by dropping the ball and Bur
went to second on the bobble. Smi, the
next batter, after getting a count of two
strikes and one ball. was yanked from the
batting box and Tul, pinch hitter, was
rushed in. All Tul could do was to foul

the opening of the third frame. Ferguson

pushed over the plate.
o. Peterson was on the mound for the
visitors and he pitched good class of
ball. He had the best of support by his
teammates, which pulled him out of sew

direct putouts in the outer gardens. Sever

while Guy kept one from falling on the
green. His infeld assistance was perfect,
with the exception of the two errors he
