SOUARELY WITH THE FIRST
BALL PITCHED IN FINAL
GAME FOR A HOME RUN AND
THE ONLY SCORE OF THE
CAME.
(By Arnold Anderson.)

With Hill pitching shutout ball in
the first battle and Lefty" Hanson
twirling no-hit, no-run ball for the
five innings played in the final en-
counter, Manager Madden and his
Ely warriors secured their eleventh
and twelfth victories of the season
at the Virginia Moose Convention,
Saturday and Sunday.
Canton pitched fine ball for Ely
in the second game but the erratic
support afforded him by his team
mates in the field accounted for
Ely's first defeat after nine consecu-
tive wins.
Alndbeck and Hoefer starred for
Ely at bat; Lindbeck finding the
Moose pitchers for four singles, a
home run, and walk; while Hoefier
procured a circuit hit and two
doubles off the opposing curve art
lists.
Four runs in the third inning, two
in the fourth. and one in the eighth
gave Ely a z to ] decision over the
Twin City team in the initial contest.
A double by H. Chinn, single by
Lawrence, two walsls by Hoefer, and
| a Minneapolis error accounted for
Ely's seven runs. Minneapolis scor-
ed their lone run in the ninth ON
walk and an Ely error.
In the second game the Mime
apolis Moose, by taking advantage OF
Ely's erratic play in the field scored
three runs in the third inning with
the help of two doubles. They
scored again in the fourth when
three Ely errors donated them run.
Ely finally scored two runs In the
fifth on two hits after double play
had squelched the Ely hopes in the
fourth. Ely outhit the Twin City
team z to a in this game but the hits
were well-scattered and the Moose
linfielders did not assist the Ely base
runners with a needed supply OF
errors.
The third and final game was the
best-played of the three, Hoefier's
home run and two fast double plays
by the Moose putting "kick" In the
five innings played.
Hoefer scored the only run of the
game, which, however, was all thai
was needed to win over the Mime
: apolis team behind Hanson's supert
pitching. Ely had excellent chance:
n to score in both the third and fourth
innings but double play in each 0.
