Spencer Starts Rally
The big excitement which raised the
large Saturday afternoon crowd from
their seats as IL by common accord
came in the eighth frame. The Pels
had just finished tying the count and
Spencer was at bat. He hit a double
to the scoreboard, and mighty roll of
cheers went down the line. Good was
next UP. He laid a bunt down the
field It, leaving third base open for
Spenoer's arrival. Good was out at
first, Ewoldt to Henry.
Petey Brausep, leading Southern
league batter. who had hit safely in
every game played this season az con-
tests), came to the bat. The stands
went wild. Brausen had not hit on his
other three times at the plate. Larry
Gilbert came in from the outfield for
conference, while Brausen walked
over to the bench for final instruction
from Manager Stewart.

and Shick made a good catch to break
up Brausen's hitting streak. Spencer
was held on third. Howard Camp, who
until the inning before had gone to
bat "A times without getting a safe
hit. came up and raped out his Sec

drive into left, but Tucker rocked the
fence with a drive that earned him two
bags. Gilbert stopped. at third. Hoff-
man, who had just hit a triple on his
last time up, was at the plate, and
chances were bright Tor Pelican rally.
However, the keystoner for the Peis
rolled slow grounder to Bremen and
was out at first.
With the exception of the seventh
and ninth innings, Good was never in
trouble. He kept ahead of the batter
at all times and the heavy -hittinE Peli-
cans were swinging terrifically but in
