RISING SUN sMoTHERs LESLIE

RISING SUN SMOIhEfSo AEoAAh
The Rising Sun Hustlers added an
other game to their win column on
Saturday when they bested Leslie by
the score of ISL.
Leslie scored their lone run in the
second frame when Spotswood
singled, went to second on Lev
eridge's grounder, and scored on
Grahams two-ply hit.
This one tally stood good until the
4th, when the Hustlers found the
delivery of Leveridge, Leslie hurler,
to their liking, driving him from the
mound. In this big frame, with one
away, Jay Emrey singled, went to
second when Leslie's short-stop
fumbled Smiths hard grounder;
Richardson walked to fill the bases.
Marion Rawlings, Suns hard-hitting
center-felder, smashed out triple,
driving in three runs. Little singled
to score Rawlings; McCush walked,
Reynolds singled to send Little and
McCush across the plate, but was
put out going to second. d. Rawl-
ings flied-out to close the inning, in
which four Leslie pitchers partici-
pated and the Sun boys scored six
runs. The Hustlers added three
more runs in the 9Th, five in the 9Th
and one in the 9Th; having total of
fourteen safe hits.
Clifton (Mike) Brown, Rising Sun
hurler, was the big star OF the game.
Besides limiting the hard-hitting
Leslie club to seven safeties, blank
ing them after the second inning,
he batted-in six runs; having 3-for-5
"a single, double and home run,
crossing the home platter personally
three times. Richardson, who re-
ceived Browns slants, caught a
wonderful game, only one man steal
ing second ON his throws.
Billy Reynolds, Hustler stellar
short-stop, shared hitting honors
with Brown, getting 3-for-5, and
played good game afield.
T. Spotswood, Leslie's right-feld-
er, who finished the game on the
mound, was the only visiting player
who could connect with Browns de-
liveries consistently, getting three
bingles for the afternoon.
