GOOD AND BAD BALL
MARKS EAGLE WIN
OVER LYNN SUNDAY


Baseball fans of the city probably |
never will shave the opportunity of
seeing another ball game such as was
: staged at Exhibition park Sunday af
ternoon between the Eagles and the
Lynn nine. The Eagles emerged on
the long end of an 1S to 9 count in
a game that was featured by some
very sensational playing and some
very poor playing.
One inning the team would play a
wonderful brand of ball, only to mar
the performance by coming back in
the next inning and mussing up many
easy chances. Both teams hit the
ball hard, the Lynn batters getting IA
safeties and the Eagles making II
hits.
Holsinger started out for the Wis
itors, getting five of the first men to
face him via the strike out route, but
the Eagles came back strong in the
third and scored seven runs on five
hits, walk and three errors. Have
kotte started the round with safe
drive to left. and Manager Logan i'm
lnediately began bunting attack that
the Lynn infielders could not stop.
Three of the five hits in this inning
were infield hits.
Attack Varied.
After this round Holsinger was hit
hard and the Eagles varied their at
tack, using the bunting attack for
awhile and then changing to the hit
ting offense 1t had the visitors so
completely confused that they began
throwing the ball all over the lot,
making a total of II errors. Every
man on the Lynn team made one er-
ror with the exception of Jones III
right field and Runyon in center field.
Hawekotte did not have much stuff
on the ball. and was hit hard in nearly
every inning, and had it not been for
the hard hitting of the locals, he might
have been charged with defeat.
Two nice plays by Clements in the
infield and a catch by Reddinghaus in
centerfield were the features OF the
game for the Eagles. Chef made
nice stop and play on Jones hard hit
ball in the first inning, getting his
man at first and robbed Hoover OF a
hit in the fourth when he stabbed his
bid for a Texas Lacquer. Reddinghaus
catch came in the fourth also when he
robbed Runyon of possible triple, TAX
ing in his hard drive to- center after a
hard run.
Injuries Hand.
Reddinghaus did not start the game
at third base, injuring his hand II
fielding practice and Weaver was sent
in his place at the hot corner, but re
tired in the third when Manager Log
an went in to bat for him. Reddlng
haus got into the game in this inning
also batting for Bundy and later TAX
ing his place in the center garden.
Clements had a bad day at the key
stone sack and made two rather bad
errors on apparently easy chances II
the early rounds but came back in the
later frames made some nice plays
and connected for three safe blows
Eubank's only hit was nice piece Of
work coming in the third inning. Will
the bases full he was ordered to bunt
The Lynn infield was playing for him
One attempt to bunt down third base
failed and on the next pitched ball h
crossed them and placed perfec
bunt down the first base line tha
caught the infieId flat footed.
Hit For Losers
Spillers and Holsinger hit the bal
hard for the losers, Spillers gettin.
four hits out of five trips to bat ant
Holsinger getting three safties.
Manager Logan gave Carman, ;
husky left-hander from Ansonia, VIII
is located here now, chance in tn
box sending him in to work in tn
seventh with only one down and twi
men on base. The big boy worke'
good and promises to make the Eagle
another first class pitcher. He di
not allow the Lynn batters hit an
famed the last three men to face hir
in the ninth inning. He showed goo
control in the game and had the Lyn
ba.ters bitinfi at his slow breakin
curves.
Next Saturday and Sunday tn
Eagles will play the Veterans of Fo
eign Wars Post team of Indianapoli
at Exhibition park.
