DOING AFTER THAT-LARRY
CANTON STAR OF ELY TEAM.
Ely started out right at Superior
in the first half of the first
inning when H. Chinn drove one
over the right field fence for a
home run. This looked good for
Ely, but in the Cops half of the
same inning Ely was given an awful
Jolt, when four runs crossed the
plate for the Superior team. The
first man up walked and Voyle Can
ton seemed to find it hard to To-
cate the plate. The second man
tried a hit-and-run play and drove
liner to Larry Canton on first
who caught it and doubled Benda
off first. Two out now and then
things happened. A single, two
doubles and home run counted
for the four runs. Voyle was re-
lieved by his brother, Larry, who
struck out the next man.
Then Ely got busy and Bouskl
singled, Ayala was hit by pitched
ball, Hoefler singled, filling the
bases. Bowers walked and one run
was forced in. H. Chinn hit fly
to right field and Ayala scored on
the catch, Hoefler going to third
Lawrence flied out to the first
baseman who forgot to keep an eye
on Hoefler who sneaked home or
the play tying the score at four all
Anthony singled and Bowers went
to third. On double steal Anthony
was safe at second and Bowers
scored putting Ely in the lead to a.
This was enough for the Ely boys
in their half of the inning and they
trotted out on the field feeling much
better. But the Cops seemed little
I'D and a single, an error, q
double, a triple and a single all but
wrecked the Ely team, and the Cops
had four more runs to their credit
and were leading by three runs
Larry Canton had not warmed uT
yet and seemed wobbly. Ely went
blank in the third and Larry tight.
ened up and from then on the Cops
who had scored eight runs on as
many hits went hitless and runless
for the rest of the game. Canton
pitched alright ball and Ely tieo
up things in the fourth with three
runs, went ahead in the fifth, sixth
and eighth for a total of thirteen
runs.
Larry Canton drove one over the
left field fence for home run with
one on base. He also had two doub.
les and a single to his credit with
a man on the path each time. Foul
hits out of five times at bat, an un
assisted double play and seven in
nings of hitless ard runless pitch
ing is all he had to his credit il
this game.
