'ConIliued rom PFecedlng Pdse.l Anderson got himself into trouble when he threw wildly to first. Milo Argosy made a good stop of the heave. however and held Preisser on third.
 Longmore shot grounder to Cos grove and 1t appeared as though he would either nail Preisser at the plate or force Campbell at second for double but he fumbled the ball and then threw wildly to first. AS a result Preisser and Campbell scored and Longmore pulled up at second. Anderson finally retired the side by catching Goeb's line drive and flaming Vincent and Nestor
 In the sixth Londers scored one more without the use of hit. Billy PreIsaer popped q fly to short right and made second base when kasprow muffed it. On an infald out he reached third from where he scored on q sacrifice fly by his brother Eddie to Kasprow.
 The Newmatics got back into the game in the first half of the eighth when they made their first run. "Starhead" Budnick reached first when he was hit by q pitched ball. He raced all the way home and kasprow made second when Vincent hnr1a1 yr-i111,- af al kasproW's grounder. Longmore bore down at this point however and famed the next three batters.
 The Universals sewed the game up in their turn at bat in the eighth when they scored three times. With one out Fitzpatrick popped a fly to short left center. Pershey got under the ball nicely but made a miser- able huff. Anderson became un- steady here for 3. moment and walked Eddie Preisser. Campbell shot single to left which scored Fitzpatrick and put Preisser on third, the batter taking second on the throw to the plate.
 Preisser was trapped between third and home when Lonsmore hit to Anderson. Cosgrove allowed Campbell and Lindgren. running for Longmore, to race home when he made an error on Charlow s grounder.
 In their turn at bat in the ninth the Newmatics scored twice, An derson reached first on Nincent's error and Pershey got to first when he was hit by q pitcfed ball. Bud nick brought them both home with q double to right center.
 The latter was the outstanding player in the game. IL was evident from the manner in which Long, more pitched to him and the way Starhead' batted that these two players were having an individual duel Budnick won this affair with case as he hit safely three times. was hit by q pitched ball and clout- d q long fly in his five trips to the plate
 BudnicH also contributed one of the fielding features of the game when he picked up Longmore's srounder with one hand and turned 1t into an out in the second inning.
 Goeb furnished the only other highl!ght n the matter Of fielding when he nailed Hayes hard drive down the left field foul line in the fourth. The summary:
