Who. about Sundays game, hasn't said
"Oh, Boy! She was a whopperr'
Babe Ruth, with all his home runs
looks like a piker compared to the
status of Cholley Clopp with one of
them. According to the dope, a home
run is circuit clout-but that defini-
tion is meagre description of four
base smash that Cholley arched over
the right field boards yesterday, Chol-
ley's zamm was a notable achievement
and blazing fnis TO game which
had the hearts of the bleacher birds
palpitating for three hours until the
final count registered 81 in favor OF
90 Producers, with the small end
Sranded on the Corscana nine. That
ped.marked drive of Clopps came in the
last half Of the fifteenth session, with
Timer on second, and dsfigured the
score of II which had elongated the
game dating from the ninth frame A
shower of silver was heaped on Chol-
ley as he rounded the sacks, and in
addition he collected a five-spot from
Tom Echols, as bonus for slamming
his four-base whack over the Con
science sign" in right garden.
Timer Shines. Too.
And sharing equal honors with Clopp,
is :Tiney" Timer, Ardmore's premier
moundsman, whose underhand produc-
ton stemmed the attack Of the Corsi-
canans in the ninth and held it stemmed
until the curtains were lowered. Timer
ascended the mound in the eighth af-
ter the Busters had barraged Crow
sons delivery with a quartette of sin
giles and put over three runs which
placed them in the lead The Produc-
ers tied the count in the last half of
the ninth, and then it stayed even
until the ball sailed to Marietta.
Tiney held them proper. During the
seven and two-third innings which he
hurled he famed nine Corsicanans, held
them to but two hts-a couple singles
neither of which was dangerous-and
allowed but one man to get by first
and he died on second. only three men
reached first during Timers reign.
Timers support was good, but the old
boy himself shared in the fielding hon
ors, for he copped four chances and
threw out that number of men with
perfection at first. To get one of the
grounders he was forced to slide on
his bread.basket, succeeding in knock
ing it down and while sprawled on the
ground. tossed It to Bugs for the out.
Wild and WoolIy?
The game was the wierdest and most
exciting yet witnessed in Ardmore.
Weird in that it was played in rain
and sunshine. in dust and mud, and
during the contest more men were IN
jured by pitched balls and spiked than
is usually the case for club during
an entire season. Clopp was beaned
in the fifth when he ducked into a
fast curve off Gordy's delivery, re-
suting in an ugly cash on the side
Of his head. But the Producers old
reliable refused TO leave the game, and
thanks to his logged determination,
Ardmore won in the memorable fif-
teenth.
During the first nine innings the
game see-sawed in close manner. Ard
more took the lead in the first, but
Corsicana Tapped It with two runs in
the third. The Producers tied It in the
fourth. Again In the fifth the Bust
ers took orun lead, but again 1t
was tied by Ardmore in her half Of the
same session. In the sixth Corsicana
again evened up matters. .-ld in the
same inning the Producers slammed
their way to q onerun lead making the
tally 5.4 In the seventh the locals
added another, giving them . 2-run
handicap. Then the eighth saw the
Corslconans pound out three more
bringing the score IN their favor TO
II looked gloomy for Ardmore in the
last half OF the NINTH but a single by
Clopp. followed by two outs, and then
two more successive singles by Young
and Bogus. brought Cholley home for
the evening run.
CrowSon Knocked Out.
Then the game tghtencd, neither
team being able TO put over n run
until Ardmore closed matters in tn,
fifteenth.
Crowson, who started for Ardmore
was knocked out ot tho box in IN,
eighth after the visitors had put ovel
three runs resultant OF four success

relieved by Argulio, but the lank!
Spaniard performed only until the en-,
OF the seventh. after the Producer
had hit him for four counts and thre
runs Hines finished the hurting 10
Corsicana from the eighth on.
But TO get back TO the game; a
written before, the game tiehtoncd i
the ninth. That Is, 1t became awfu
hard FOR the Cbrscanans, for the
couldn't see Timers offerings, and wer
helpless. But on the other hand, IN
Producers pounded Hines all over tn
