Boys From Across Bay Fail to
i Lift Scalps of the Local
Team.
Valdez 11, Fort Liscum 3.
The wind was blowing off
shore Sunday and the boys from
across the pond couldn’t carry
home the tallies. Also, the Val
dez line-up was |he strongest yeet
offered as a mark for the visit
ors this season. The star bat
tery, McClaire and Amundsen,
were in the point's, Georgje Go
shaw herded the second sack,
and Emmett Ball played a speedy
game at first. This bunch, with
the pick of the remaining local
timber, put up too tough a game
for the soldiers, though the mil
itary lads were troublesome
enough.
The safe hilling was seven

Some of those hit's were long;

the hustling zephyr from I he
northeast. When I he sluggers

diers did whale I lie ball il sailed

McClaire registered three
strike-outs in the first act. bill
it was not a clean sheet. Dun

leather way up over the infield
and llie breeze wafted il over the
township line. When il got back
to the infield Dumlon was Irving

He perished there because the ad

fanned out.

In the fourth Liscum went out
one, two, three. Miller went in
to the box for the visitors. The
first two Valdez stickler's were
easy outs and then the boys put
the rollers under the post bri
gade. McGlaire and Amundsen
again coupled hits with fielding
errors and Valdez nailed two
more (allies.
Two seemed to be I he limit of
Valdez’s scoring in an inning.
They took two live limes and
would have grabbed two in the
eighth if Jack Hanson hadn’t cut
second base trying to make the
circuit on an error.
That comedy was one of the
best in the game. The Dam Kid
slammed a long tly to center. The
soldier man oil duly got his hooks
on it, but dropped it, and while
he followed it into the brush and
prospected for it the Kid kept
traveling around the circuit. Ev
erybody watched the fielder and
the ball after he threw it in, but
Umpire Roche watched the Kid
and when that enterprising'run
ner crossed the home plate Roche
observed, “You’re out. You didn’t
touch second base.” That made
three out instead of a second run.
The wind helped the hailing
and made things harder for I he
pitchers and the fielders. In
spile of MeGlaire’s slrike-mil
record Hie enemy fondled him tor
a few had ones. Gonnors did very
well under I lie circumstances lull

Sheds and Shambaiigh with
pitched halls. Miller hil Herman.
McGlaire struck mil 1 i, Miller 5,
Gonnors 2. McGlaire gave 3 bases
on halls, Gonnors 2, Miller I.
The usual ragged fielding er
rors were made ou both sides,
but that department was up to
the average. Gosliaw and Han
son made some remarkable stops
and throws that would have keen
a credit lo a professional game,
though the Kid made one weak
throw to the lirst baseman’s feel.
