The pitching of Swanson was the feature of the game and his effective! work with the excellent support ac corded him resulted in the defeat of the visitors. In the pitching section of the game. Swanson had the best of Lamar, the hurling ace of Papillion as Swanny struck out five against four for his opponent and allowed five hits, while Lamar was nicked for seven bingles. one three bagger and two doubles being in. the array of Plattsmouth blows., Four of the hits off Swanson came in the fourth in ning. The locals started right after the visitors from the Pappio with a fast fielding game and in one, two, three order the visitors were retired in the opening inning and were held ineffec tive until the fourth frame, when they were able to tie up the score, gaining the lead in thefifth and los ing the contest in the fateful seventh. The first scoring was by Platts mouth in the second inning, when they hopped on the offerings of La mar for three bingles that netted as many runs. Herb Klauschie opened the inning with a grounder to third on which he was thrown out at first. Neuman hit safe to center and was able to advance on the error of Sie bold at second base when O'Donnell hit to short and both- runners were advanced on the" sacrifice of Bemis to second. The two runners scored when John Svoboda doubled to cen ter. Svohoda was able to register on the hit of Swanson to right field. In the fourth with the score 3 to 0 in favor of Plattsmouth the PapiM nun iea.111 were auif iu secure cuuugu to tie up the battle for a time. Matthies opened the inning with a clean hit to right field and advanced on the out of Seibold at first base, and when King singled to right the runner tallied. King scored on a throw by Klauschie to third base that bounded on through the field. A. Cordes, doubled to deep center and s'-ored on the single of Lamar. In the first half of the fifth, the Papillion boys took the lead ya the game with a series of blows combined with errors that made victory look very bright for them for a few mom ents. Oliver opened the inning with a fly out to Herold at third and was followed by Matthies who was struck out by Swanson. Seibold then hit to Newman at short who failed to han dle the ball, and Siebold advanced to second on the balk of Swanson, from where he scored when King doubled to deep center. A. Cordes was safe on a bobble by Newman and on which King registered. The second half of the fifth saw the game again tied up when the in ning opened with a single by Herold to left field and McCarty was hit by Lamar, that proved his undoing as both runners advanced on the sacri fice of Mason and scored on the sin gle of Newman to the right garden. The last and deciding score came in the lucky seventh frame of the game when Joe McCarty rapped a triple to the boards in the center field and Bcored on the grounder of Herb Klauschie who was sacrificed at first base. The locals looked good to score again in the eighth inning when Bemis opened the inning with a double to left, but he died on the base as outs by Svoboda, Schliscke and Swanson closed the inning.
