DUDACK SAVES DAY
 FOR KACEYS' TEAM
Wonderful Catch in Eighth Inning
 DepriyeS COrbin Of Victory

Steve Dudack, the veteran out fielder, earned the everlasting praise Of the followers of the kacey baseball team yesterday afternoon at St Mary's field, when he made q catch of fly ball in the eighth inning that bordered on the impossible and then turning the play into double killing. The catch deprived the Corbin team from winning the second game of the series with the kaceys, and forced the teams into overtime play. Manager McConn's boys romping off with a 4 to victory, and tying the series with a win for each club. Dudack, has, In other years, played wonderful ball in the left garden. but it is doubtful 1T he ever rose to greater heights than yesterday, and the catch of the ball hit by Huber, will furnish gossip for the fans for several moons. Had Steven allowed that ball to get away from him, Corbin. who was on third base, would have registered the win hing tally, and 1t would have been good night to the Franklin Square club.
 Wrangle FOLLOWS Play.
 The catch and double play, brought forth plenty of wrangling for time, Jimmy Clinton the Corbin catcher, leading in the debate.
 How It Was Done.
 Corbin was on third base and Blan- chard on second base. in the eighth inning, when Huber hit his terrific smash to left center. At the crack of the bat Dudack and Kiduff were off like a pair of deer. It did not seem to anyone in the park that either of the kacey outfelders would be able to reach the ball However, just before it hit the ground, Dudack speared it. Corbin and Blanchard speeded for the home plate, while the Corbin fans were in a frenzy of de- light. Dudack, sensing that Bian- chard had not gone back to second base, whipped the ball to Jimmy Green, completing a double play, re- ttring the side, as Patrus had pre- viously been put out on a sacrifice. Artie Campbell, wide awake player called for the ball. and running to third base he touched the bag, de- claring that Corbin did not return to the base after the catch had been made It was also argued that in view of the fact that Corbin had scored on play that retired the side, the run did not count The Corbin team took the field.
 Both Pitchers Good.
 The two ferries, Crean and Griffen, opposed each other on the mound, and both of the elongated twirlers turned in a good exhibition. The Kaceys reached the Lockmakers' sla abster for Il safeties, while Crean let the Park street boys down with men, while only Crean proved to be the victim of Griffen's slants on strikeouts. Cream allowed two free transportations, and Griffen one. The Kaceys' twirler was cool and collected at all times, and Griken did not ap- pear at any time to be ruffled.
 Fitl Comes Through.
 The Kaceys scored three of their tallies in the third inning through timely hitting. Begley, first up, was out, Preiser to Blanchard Dudack, SlOl d SIHSle to center HelQ ana Jimmy Green came through with an- ether single. Dudack, registered at the second bag; on Budnick's single to left, Schneider made a quick throw to third base, and Wojack had the ball on Green, only to drop it.
 On Kilduff's drive to Patrus, Green was out at the plate, Clinton playing the ball very well. Joey Fitzpatrick then put the Kaceys three runs to the good, when he poled out his first single, scoring Budnick and Kilduff.
 Lockmakers Tie It Up.
 The Corbin team tied the battle in the fourth inning Huber was safe when Budnick unused his drive. Wo- jack hit safely. Schneider drove the ball through a vacant spot at short stop, Huber scoring. Woiack ttallied when Crean unused up Preisser's tap, and Schneider scored while Clin- ton was being retired, Sheehan to Fitzpatrick.
 Kaceys Get Break, Win.
 The winning run was scored by the Kaceys in the tenth inning, and was aided by break in luck. Green, the first batter, rapped a hot one to Blanchard, who was unable to hold it. The ball caromed off Blan- chards glove into the crowd back of first base, and according to the ground rules, the runner was en- titled to two bases.
 Budnick made a bid for a hit, but Wojack, who turned in as brilliant an exhibition of third base playing as has teen seen on the lot in many a day, grabbed the smash and retired the runner Green went to third base on the play. Kilduff got an infeld single, Green being held at third base. Fitzpatrick. smashed a hot one to Blanchard, who had to be content with retiring the batsman, Green scoring on the play In the Corbin half of the tenth, Clinton was out on strikes. Budnick made pretty play on Griffen's drive. Cor nin got q single to center field, but was left stranded when Patrus flied .o Rudnick The summary:
