Lancaster 10; Union Giants z.
Friday the Dodgers and Gilkerson's
Union Giants hooked UP at Dodgeville
in a wild and woody game which end
ed in a 10 to Dodger victory. Both
clubs had their hitting clothes on and
the result was a delight to the fans.
Delaney and Richie started on the
mound and for three innings every
thing looked more or less black.
Richie held the Dodgers to one hit in
the first three innings and Delaney
was not so fortunate. After SchaCht
had disposed of Turner and Bingham
in the first Evans singled. When
Groeling and Bell failed to cover sec
on Crispo's single. The second was
not so bad but the third added two to
the Giants string. Coleman singled.
Turner and Bingham were easy outs
but Evans drove one to right which
went for the circuit and two more
runs put the Giants on what they
thought was Easy Street.
The fourth was wild affair. Groe-
ling drew pass. Buses and Groeling
were both safe when Williams messed
up Bues' drive. Richie walked Elliott
and Schultz hit one out of the park.
With the bases cleared Richie retired
in favor of Luther. Kappel went out,
Crispo to Turner and Schacht famed.
Delaney singled and Bell walked.
Stumpf flied to Turner.
Just to let Luther know he didn't
have anything on Richie the Dodgers
counted four more in the fifth. Groe-
ling walked again and Bues singled.
Elliott scored both runners ahead of
him with another homer Schultz got
his third hit but was out at second
trying to stretch the hit to a double.
Kappel hit for three sacks. The ball
went through the hedge fence back Of
center field but Evans either carried a
ball in with him to throw in or made
a lucky find when he got through and
got the ball back in record time. Cole
mans throw to catch Bud off third
went to left field and Bud scored.
Bell walked to open the sixth and
Stumpf was safe on an unsuccessful
play for Bell. Groeling was out, Girls
DO to Turner, and Bues flied to Evans
but Elliott came through with triple
scoring Bell and Stumpf. Evans du-
plicated his play on Kappel and held
"RoWdy" at third.
That was all for the Dodgers. Mean
while the Giants had counted one in
the fifth on single and an error and
three more in the seventh. Evans
was safe in the seventh on Delaney's
error Williams singled and Crispo
rap to Bell. This was all for the
Giants although they threatened in the
ninth which was featured by another
display of wildness by Williams, Gill
kerson's pugilistic shortstop. Luther
singled and Harvey, batting for Cole
man, did the same. Turner hit one
which bounded in the air off the plate.
Stumpf caught the ball and threw to
Bues to get Luther and Bues COM
pleted the double play by throwing
Turner out at first. Bingham rolled
out, Groeling to Turner. When
Schmitz called Luther and Turner out
Williams came tearing in, grabbed a
bat and started out to rough things
generally, aided materially by a
couple of his mates. Firmness on the
part of Umpire Schmitz and persuas-
ion by Gilkerson and Bingham quoted
things but left bad impression. Such
hot heads as Williams should have no
place in the game. His DOdgeville ex-
hibition was his second offense in
games with Lancaster and as a result
Lancaster won't get another look at
the Giants at Lancaster again this
year.
