ball. aided along with several very bril-
liant catches in the outer gardens, fur
nished an afternoons entertainment that
caused much heart palpitation. Many
was the "smacker" that sailed from the
bat up into the air headed for some port
in the outer gardens. On each occasion
the excited fans would stretch their neckS
in silence but when the ball landed safe
and secure in some felders nit, their
ptnt up discourse broke loose in reverber-
ating cheers.
The local aggregation did not furnish
all the thrills in the game. The visitors
pulled off several very brilliant plays
that were properly applauded by the loc'l
fans. The most noteworthy of these was
Clarence Anderson's cleverness in retiring
the locals wrecking crew in order with
the bases loaded. On each occasion the
batter was sent back to the bench without
even so much as smelling the ball. Nine
healthy swings were made by the local
star hitters and not even so much as
foul was produced. Art Anderson fur
nished another thriller when he clouted
out home run with two men on bases.
His hit had the inspiration of starting
batting rally. However, it was very
promptly checked.
In the opening chapter of the game the
visitors found the way to the scoring COL
umn by getting one marker, which came
by the way of "a free ticket to first,
stolen base and a wild pitch. In the
second and third rounds goose eggs were
dished out but with the opening of the
fourth the visitors scored once more which
developed from couple of infeld singles
and double. The fifth was blank but
the opening of the sixth saw the visitors
enthusiasm go up to fever heat. Hill led
off with single to right and walked to
second when Loney was given free trans
portation. Art Anderson smashed a line
drive over the centerfelder's head for four
bases. Tomas struck out but Bannitz hit
safely to short center. On Burvencich's
infeld grounder, Bannitz was thrown
cut at second, Ny to Shu. When Shu
fumbled Holly's infeld grounder, both
runners reached port in safety. Clarence
Anderson retired the side when he lifted
long fly to Sher. This ended the visi-
tors scoring and out of the five they ac-
cumulated, four of them were recorded
as earned runs.
The locals in hammering out twelve
hits, six of them for extra bases, total
of twenty-five bases in ALL gave them

There was generous sprinkling of the
hits all the way. Myr led off in the open
ing frame with three-bagger to left and
scored when Hill let pitched ball get
by. Shu struckout, Bona was thrown out

retired the side by striking out. Gal led
eff in the second round with a two bagger
to left center but he never advanced be-
yond the second station for >Sher and
