The mirror., 1923-08-30

garnered eleven safe hits off his deliveries
and it was only in two frames where they
came in punched form. The Marines
scored in the first, second, sixth and last
frames. A three-bagger and batteries
A two-bagger, passed ball and wild
pitch, scored one more in the second. Four
singles recorded two markers in the fifth.
Two singles, free ticket, miscued
felder's choice, sacrifice, an outfeld
error and a triple, developed into five
markers in the last stanza. When on the
defensive side of play as a whole, the
"King" was given good support. Myr
at short played bang up game, making
some beautiful stops and catches. Sher,
the left gardner, was kept in full activity
all the way. He pulled down four beauti-
full catches, two of them caused the fans
to give him tremendous ovation. At
bat, he got two doubles, one single and
free ticket out of four trips to the plate.
He batted in five runs and scored twice
himself. Bur made one pretty running
catch in the center field when he shared
the ball off the grass.
Vogis, the Marines pitcher, who is
young stalwart fellow and delivers the
ball from the "port" side, was a little
TOO careful with Caps "sluggers" for
his own benefit. He was so anxious to
fool Caps squad that he passed one on
balls, hit two batters and made one balk.
All of which figured very prominently in
his defeat. He had slow tantalizing
delivery and he got by very nicely in the
initial round by handing out a goose egg.
But if there is anything that Caps slug
gers like better than fast ball-it's
slow ball. So in the last of the second
round the hits began to rattle off the To-
GALS bats in rapid succession and con-
tinued until Vogis was driven from the
box in the fifth. Most of the hits garnered
from Vogis were of the Texas League
variety just over the infelder's heads
and out of reach for the outfed. lust
for good measure, there were few extra
base hits sandwiched in between to make
the game real exciting. A free ticket,
sacrifice, couple of singles and one dou-
BILE, started the locals in the game with
three counters, in the second round. They
added six more in the third that developed
from one free ticket three singles, one
double, one triple and wild throw. Three
singles and couple of infield errors, gave
the locals three more runs in the fourth.
AT this period of the game, Langford the
first man to bat for the Marines in the
opening of the fifth round met with a
very painful but not serious accident.
He had a count of two and two and on
the next delivery which was one of
"Speed Kings" fastest Langford swung
at the ball, making foul in such man
ner that it hit him terrible wallop in
the eye. Langford went down and COM
pletely out and when he revived sufficient
ly he was at once taken to the local hos
pital for medical treatment. This acci-
dent caused the substitution of Book into
the game and in doing so it caused a gen.
eral shifting of the players. Vogis went
to first Beuttner took up the response
bility of pitching, Moss went to third and
Book performed his duties in the right
field. In the three frames that Beuttner
worked he got by very nicely. On one
free ticket, single and triple, two runs
were made off him in his initial round.
After that he held the locals hitless and
scoreless.
Mr.. ]. ]. Brady, manager of the Marine
champs, not being satisfied with Satur-
days results, very promptly engaged an
