mOnd Sunday, 9 to f. Moore pitched
a brilliant six hitter and except for
one lapse in the third when the
Canucks scored all four of their
runs his mates gave him perfect
support. For the first time this
season little Ray failed to make
first in the opening inning and
brother Al struck out to the Troy
rooters dismav But Kuwahara
worked Tedford for a walk and Ray
Lindsey sent a home run far over
the left fielders head for a two
run lead. Moore lost his control
momentarily in the third, giving
two bases on balls and two hits.
These combined with a fielder's
choice and an overthrow of second
led to Creston's four runs but the
Eext two batters popped up to the
pitcher and the third grounded to
Moore for the last out. Creston
never threatened again until the
eighth when a base on balls and a
single put men on second and
third. Moore started bearing down
again however and retired the side
without a run.

with two runs on three hits and |
