Giants Trim Dodgers To 6.
Lancaster and Gilkersons Chicago
Union Giants furnished the attraction
at Fennimore's Fourth OF July cele-
bration Tuesday and Lancaster took
the short end of loosely played but
exciting 7 to game.
The Giants took advantage of some
poor baseball in the first and put two
runs across. CrispO famed but Bing-
ham drew a pass. Evans hit to Van
Roo but when Van tossed the ball to
Elliott for a made to order double
play "Rowdy" dropped the ball and
both runners were safe. Williams
singled to right and Bingham counted.
Turner drove a long fly to Kappel and
Evans came in with the second run.
The Dodgers came right back in the
second and seWed it up. With one
down Driggett worked Harvey for a
walk Otis famed but Dodge doubled
into the crowd back of left field and
Driggett. scored. Bell walked. Van
Roo hit high one back of second
which Hermann dropped allowing
Dodge to score Schacht walked but
Elliott famed with the sacks full.
Williams bagged a hit to right in
the third but nothing came of it. In
our half Kappel doubled to left cen
ter. Without ground rules the hit
would have been good for the circuit
in any park. Bud took third on Har
ney's error and scored when Crispo
let Harneys throw go by into the
crowd. Driggett singled and stole
second, taking third on Coleman's
high peg. Steve tried to steal home

have scored on Otis long fly to Bing-
ham.
Dodge opened the fourth with
another double into the left field
crowd and scored when Van Roo
doubled to right. This ended Harvey
and Luther came in.
The fifth was another bad inning
for Lancaster Coleman drew his
second pass to open the Giants half.
Crispo hit to Van Roo but Van
tumbled the ball and another chance
for a sure double play went into the
discard. Bingham doubled to left,
scoring Coleman and CrispO. Evans
moved Bingham to third with bunt
and Williams hit one at Elliott. Ell
lott tried to hold Bingham at third
"Rowdy" threw Williams out at first

and singled which would have scored
Bingham anyway.
The sixth was uneventful but the
seventh was more than satisfactory to
the Giants and the majority Of the
crowd who were pulling for Giant
victory. Bingham made good on a lot
IL Nv, chn a
through the box. Evans dragged
hit past first which move Bingham up
to third and put Evans on second. 1t
went for a hit because Schultz was
running to the bag to cover on what
looked like a bunt. Williams hit one
to Van Roo which Van juggled just
long enough to spoil a throw home
and force him to make the play for
Williams at first allowing Bingham to
score. Turner singled over second
scoring Evans and Lynch doubled
into the left field crowd, and Dodge
called Delaney in. It was tough
place for ''Swede" with second and
third occupied and only one down but
Schultz helped out with a swell play
on Hermann when the Giant second
sacker hit a line drive over first base
