Kingsbury's fly All through the con-
test the Clerks in the outfield did not
seem to be particularly interested in
catching any fly balls In fact they
backed clear out to the race track, so
that hit that would reach them to
catch ordinarily would be double, while
any ball rolling by them usually would
be triple or a homer.
Tasker featured the game at bat with
two doubles, single and two walks in
five journeys to the plate. Stowell also
took, a couple of hearty whacks at the
bali as Blake passed it up to him An
other feature of the game was that the
Old Timers with their rust joints stole
many more bases than did the youthful
statesmen.
The Clerks first two runs came in the
fifth. Cavanaugh doubled and scored on
Stowell's wild heave to first after
Lyons's grounder. Lyons scored on
Freeman's single The other three tai
lies came in the seventh. LYONS tripled
and scored on Connors's single. Connors
took second on the throw to the plate.
Freeman beat out an infeld hit and
Connors scored Freeman scored on
Tenney's long single. The summary:
