MILLIONAIRES TAKE A DOUBLE
FALL OUT OF WORUMBOS, 6-5, 40

Faced by the two best twirling
bets the Worumbos could muster,
the MillionaireS registered a double
killing Saturday afternoon, grabbing
the first matinee argument to 5
and the second to q.
The opener which got under way
at : o cock was as game al eNhiGi-
ton as the Housermsn have put up
this year. Harry Slate, who started
the initial run in, got away to a bad
start and at the end of the third
verse had been found for seven bin
giles and q total of five tsllies,
enough to win any ordinary ball
game. AS it proved, however. it was
not TO be an ordinary exhibition.
After the third canto Harry clamp
ed the lid on for further. scoring
by the Lord-led hosts. while the
Millionaires grimly faced the task
or overhauling the L.isbonites.
Coming into the bench at the end
of the third stanza after having
been handed another zero. Ben
Houser pulled this crack. I'VE are
going to win this ball game yet,
and that amt no hot dir either" It
certainly did soand like overhest.d
ambient atmosphere. and those who
heard him registered incredulity,
doubt and indifference Came the
fourth when the Millionaires COPIED
couple there was aroused a faint
nope that it was possible to close
the gap.
Then in the fifth the Houser ar
tlllery opened a barrage and when
the smoke had lifted and the visitors
had ceased scrapping with each 9TH
er. the count had been evened and
1t was a new contest. Maybe the
bleacherites didn't bleach. Maybe
that crowd didn't coo. I'll say they
did. Then after holding the Lord
led hosts safe until the ninth. the
run the fans had been waiting for
came across and they settled back
for ten-minute wait for the Sec
ond game.
Wen sir, that second tete-a-tete
was sure impressive as the dignified
ones are wont to say. Just to make
1t sound newsy in the papers, Man
ager HoCser sent Paul cGouldrick
to the hillock for the second wran-
gle. To those not hep to the dope,
Paul was recently released by the
Worumbo triumvirate to make room
Tor some real class in the way of
hurlers. Now Paul has never had
the name of being vindicitive or of
followed, certainly smacked of some
thing like that. Although he had
not worked for two weeks and as a.
consequence was wild at times,
Paul held his former team mates TO
three lonely taps and handed them
Deautlful collection Of nine zeros.
First Game
Inc Worumbos grabbed three in
the second on two singles, a double
and an error. In the third. two

this week.

the fourth on Clancy's blow. Smalls

run, The winning tally came in the
