| out. He managed to keep the
 seven hits the Burritts made off him we'll scattered and would have held ! the losers to a lower score if his mates had afforded him tighter SUD- l port.
 | Bruno kania worked we'll for the ] losers but was nicked for numerous | timely hits. He also was the vic | tim of poors support, the winning
 run being scored by the West Ends
 when Zaleski dropped the ball after | having tagged Bacon out in the last
 inning.
 l Considering the game as a whole,
 the pitchers each got about the
 same number of good and bad i breaks and the verdict went to
 Blanchard because he was more ef- | fective in the pinches. The Bur
 ritts were handicapped during the
 early part of the game by an over
 confident attitude.
 Neither team scored in the first inning. In this session Blanchard l famed three batters and walked one. The three West End batters
 in this frame went out on flies. '~he Burritts made a strong bid
 to put on big rally in the second
 but this was broken up when kas-
 prov failed to touch third base while scoring from first on kania's double to left.
 With one out Zaleski hammered
 triple over Basile's head. Havlick i famed, but Kasprow came through with a single over second to score Zaleski. Kania smacked one of Blanchard's fast ones into the crowd
 in deep left which gave Kasprow plenty of time to score.
 The West Ends were alert. how
 ever and challenged the runner at
 third base. Umpire Lynch called
 kasprow out for not touching the base and the inning and rally were
 over.
 In the last half of the third frame the West Ends took the lead by scoring twice. McNamara opened the frame by drawing pass. Bacon hammered a double down the left field line which took a bad bound when it struck the foul flag and McNamara counted. After the next
 two batters had expired George
 Campbell singled to soore Bacon.
 Each team scored run in the fourth. Stub" Budnick opened the
 Burritts' half of the frame with a single. He stole second and ad- vanced to third on an infield out from where he scored when Zaleski
 singled. A one base blow by O'Brien. Fink's double and Me { Namara's sacrifice fly gave the
 winners their counter.
 l In the first half of the seventh
 the Burritts scored once to tie the
 score. Havlick opened with single. Kasprow laid sacrifice bunt down the third base line and was thrown
 out by O'Brien. Havlick noticing that third base was not covered, dashed for the far corner, After
 taking OBrien's. peg, George Camp bell threw to third but the ball went out of the reach of Erickson who covered the base. and Havlick scored.
 The winners put the deciding run over in the last half of the inning. Bacon opened with single and stole second. Blanchard grounded out to Dalkowski who held Bacon on second. Basil hit a short single to center. Bacon made for
 the plate on the hit and was nailed
 by Wesoly's perfect throw, but
 Zaleski dropped the ball as the run ner slid into him and the game was over.
 The game was unusually fast.
