Eight-hit Game.

The new Bears are still playing
1000 per cent baseball.
An enthusiast might say they were
playing 100000 baseball.
The Shreveport Sports again fell
prey to them at League Park Satur-
day, making it two in row.
The score was to 5.
They almost kicked the game away
in the eighth inning, after collecting
big early lead, thanks largely to
Eddie Miller's base-cleaning double in
the third inning, but they steadied,
Buck Winters, on the hill, bore down,
and the calamity was averted.
WINTERS STEADY
Winters, the only vet in the lineup
and not so venerable at that, since
ne will be % in October-manufae-
tured q clever eight-hit game. Shreve-
port, twice punched three blows with
some rookie errors,s and, in these two
| innings, the Sports scored their five
runs. two in the fifth and three III
| the eighth. -
Outside of that, they did little,
| though Ostcrgard cracked out
double to start the ninth and the fans
| felt rather faint, but Miller galloped
! hard and long to rope in hlrkels fly
and John Philips took care OF pop
ups by Benton and Pinchhitter Schick.
The Bear rockies, held to two
scratchy hits in their victory OF Fri
day. found the veteran Joe Gleason
easier to hit and had a total of four
safeties when Joe was relieved after
four innings. Young McCauley, who
started the day before, went back az
them and permitted a couple of hits
and a run in the fifth, but, after that,
albeit inclined toward wildness, gave
up no further bingles.
SIX CUB HITS
Thus, the Cublets totalled six hits:
Miller's base-cleaning double was, OF
course the feature. Manor Pickett
and John Philips each made two
singles. HorniCk got the other hit,
good double down the left field line
A walk to Banner, who was passed
! three times and hit with pitch the
other time at bat. started the Bears
going in the third. Kirke muffed
/ throw from Comeaux and put Win
tcrs aboard. Lance hunted and
;. Catcher Rowland made a belated
throw TO third: all hands safe and
j the bases full. Miller cracked out
his double, to right-center, everybody

gard.

There we're three errors, three mrs
and a sacrifice fly in that ticklish
eighth but Comeaux ended the eS'
element by rolling to Winters.

E Incidentally, Winters handled eight
rollers for eight assists and took q
throw from Peters for a putout ~
) first. He had an error, which gave
him ten fielding chances, somethins
