 On each of the few scoring chances the Workers had spoil cd things by poor base running. Their chief weakness however was their inability to hit
 This may have been due to klopp's fine pitching as Ernie was in great form with the exception of the seventh frame when he walked man and allowed four safe blows.
 With all of these chance the Workers were able to score but two runs due to their poor running
 With two out in the first frame the Workers presented the Gascos with a pair of runs. Frank Sheehan connected with a single and stole second to start things. Klatka hit a grounder to Merline who made a poor heave to first. CharIow stopped ethe ball but when he threw to the plate to catch Sheehan he heaved over Schroeder's head. This let Klat- ka reach second.
 Dudack hit a grounder to Zaiko who handled it so slowly that Steve beat it out and Klatka scored on this play.
 There was no more scoring until the sixth. In this frame the Work CTS became generous again and gave the Gascos two more runs.
 Merline fumbled Restelli's ground CT to give him life. Pienkowski then walked Mccormick, famed Kieffer and walked klopp to fill the bases with one out. On Fields grounder to Merline, Restelli scored while klopp was forced at second. The ball was handled too slowly for diubIe play kopec followed with a single to'left to send Mccormick home. The Workers appeared to be on the verge of a rally in the seventh but this faded and they scored only two runs, Schneider singled to open the frame and raced all the way home on Schroeder's clout to deep right. There was no coacher sta toned at third and Schroeder at etiPIcu tO lldke d nome run only to be thrown out by many feet at the plate.
 Saiak followed with a single and reached second on klopp's halk. Zaj- ko hit hard grounder to Restel]i who tagged Salak as he tried for third The batter reached first on the play
 Grail walked to move Zaiko up 2 base from where he scored when Schuster singled to center.
 In the eighth the Gascos seved up the game by scoring two more runs k1effer walked and moved to second on klopp's sacrifice. Fields went out On a fly to Merline but kopec came through with his third single of the game to score Kieffer. Frankie Sheehan sent Kopec over the plate when he doubled to left center.

 Joe is older and heavier now than he was when he used to start double plays for the great Chicago Cubs, Tinker to Evers to Chance" but the fire of baseball burns brightly in him.
 There is not much time left and the Jersey Cilty clubs is at the bot tom of tbe International league heap, but fans all over the country will be roofing for Joe to do some effective tinkering with the machinery and get it going.
 Tinker was said by old timers in baseball to be the only player of his day who could hit the immortal Christy Mathewson consistently.
 Some players could get safeties from the delivery of Big Six" oc- casionally, but Tinker could always be counted on to give the great pitcher a battle at the plate and more often than not he won.
 Joe has tried to get away from baseball. <He has been a real estate man in Florida with some degree of success, but after ventures in the world outside the game, has always returned to baseball.
 He did some scouting of the Ath- letics for the Cubs before the world series last year, but at this late day that should not be held against him.
