The Colonel Regulars and Rockies
| battled to 4 to seven-inning tie
contest yesterday at Maxent park.
With two down in the seventh and the
count 4 to in favor of the Regulars,
Manager Mccarthy went in as pinch
. hitter for Ernie Koob and slammed a
long double into left field which sent
i Chile Francis across the pan with the
/ tying tally. This was the second time
| this season that the Louisville pilot
! has performed in the role of pinch
| hitter ana on each occasion he has de-
livered, which is enough proof that
Mccarthy still retains his good batting
eye.
Fingers in Demand.
Each side used three fingers: Long
| Miller and DeBerry working for the
Regulars, and Cullop, Estell and Koob
throwing them for the Yannigans.
Seven hits were made by each side.
None of the hurlers appeared to put
much on the ball except speed. Kirke
Ellis and BalIenger were the leading
| hitters for the Regulars while Holden
hated best for the Yannigans.
| Nick Cullop had the Regulars at his
mercy for three innings, allowing two
hits, both of them coming in the sec
ond inning and, coupled with a sacri
fee fly by Schepner, resulted in run.
Estell succeeded Cullop and two more
runs crossed the plate in the fourth
stanza on doubles by Kirke and Bal
| lenger and an overthrow of third by
Holden. Koob occupied the mound the
sixth and seventh innings. A double

Piggy" Stanley, batting in the

and came all the way home when

Star Fielding.
There was some excellent fielding
pulled off on both sides, especially by
the two short fielders, Pei Ballenger
and Tommy Gaffney. The way this
pair performed brought the applause
of the several hundred fans who were
out early. Gaffneys work at shortstop
throughout the training season has
| been high class in every respect. Bethel
looked like the Bruno of old around
the keystone bag today. making four
| beauty stops and throws.
Bill Meyer may be on the shelf for
a couple of days as a result of an in
jured shoulder he sustained in today's
game. He injured the member in
throwing to the bases. The injury is
not serious and it will be only a ques-
ton of day or so until he works out
the kink.
The Regulars were allowed to bat
in the eighth inning but Of course this
does not count in the box score. Way
land Dean, who played center field for
the Vans, was called in to the mound
and the Regs took to his offerings very
kindly. Hits by Massey, Ellis, Ballen-
ger, Dick Deighan and Deberry netted
them four scores.
New Practicine Stunt.
Neil Deighan. first baseman for the
Vans, handled himself nicely around
the initial sack despite the fact that
his regular position is behind the
plate. He Is full OF pep and keeps
the youngsters on the hustle all the
time. The Yannigans have a pretty
fair ball club and 1t takes pretty fair
pitching to stop them as all are dan
gerous hitters.
The Colonies pulled off a new prac-
tice stunt today. The put on a foot
ball practice with the medicine ball,
the players being divided into two
squads, and the way they bucked the
line and piled one another reminded
one Of real game. Combs grabbed
the ball at one stage and ran through
the whole bunch.
With the arrival Of Roy Massey,
only two members of the team have
not put in their appearance at the
camp. They are Merito Acosta and
Ben lineup. No word has been re-
ceived from Acosta since the arrival
of the team the early part of the week.
1t is rtmored that a compromise win
be reached between the Indian and
the local management within the next
