COPPER LEAGUE team TAKES
GAME FROM ARMY AFTER HARD
FIGHT, SCORE FIVE TO THREE


which base hits and errors were about
evenly divided
Both teams were tight in the pinch
es and several runners we're left
stranded on the path. All the hurlers
were causing them to pop flies or roll
slow grounderS.
Finney's two errors, the only ones
that the Camp team made were costly
while Millers error for Bisbee cost
them a run in the seventh. Robbins
error in the first proved costly as
Allen stole second and went to third
on passed ball, and scored on
Dancy's grounder to second.
"Tilly" Tilton, regular outfielder for
BiSbee, started on the mound, but
after pitching to two batterS was re-
lieved by Bennie FOLSOM FTilton was
steaming them over fast and one of
his SlantS caught Belk on the wrist
Tilton went to center field and Tolsorl
came in from center field. TolSon
pitched five innings and Davenport
finished the last four frames.
Byrd went the entire route for the
soldiers and kept his hits well scatter
ed except in the sixth inning, when
they punched three hits.
Burgess made a sensational catch i
of Clary'S high fly past the foul line !
and Finney made wonderful stop of
Tiltons hard grounder but was not in
a position to throw.
