Interesting Games Mark Opening of Annual Southwestern Iowa Ball Tournqy E> -- 1 Red Oak Loses First Game by 2tol Score Pacific Junction With Johnny Braniff on Mound and Macedonia Win. OMBINING walks and hits In the first Inning, Pacific Junc tion, represented by the Standard Laun dry team of Omaha, yesterday afternoon got off to a flying start in the race for Class B honors In the annual South western Iowa baseball tournament, by trimming the Red Oak team by the score of 2 to 1. "Lefty” Berg, on the mound for Red Oak, contributed to his own downfall by issuing two free tickets to first, one of which resulted in a score. McCreary, lead-off man for Pacific Junction, waited Berg out and was re warded with free transportation. He took second when Adams sacrificed, Berg to Olson. Trummer lashed a singlo to renter, McCreary scoring. Wachtier filed to center, following which Mancuso took advantage of Berg's wildness and strolled. Lind berg crashed a hit to right field, scor ing Trummer. Manruso was caught tiff third by Dennison, ending the in ning. r-acnio junction was ame to lino Berg for only one hit after the first Inning, that a single by McCreary in the seventh. Their first-inning on slaught was Juet one marker better than Red Oak’s supreme effort. Ten of the Standard’s willow wlelders were forced to breeze the air by Berg's tricky shoots. Bases on balls, seven In number, kept Berg in hot water throughout the game. After breezing along for three In nings under the soothing influenre of Johnnie Braniff, hurler for Pacific Junction, Red Oak came to life in tiie fourth frame and scored one on an error by Maneuso on Dennison’s hard llit rounder, which allowed the latter two sacks, and a single to center by Elwood. The losers were given an excellent chance to win in the fifth inning, but poor base running ruined the chance. After Berg had crossed the opposing infield with a neat bunt down the third-base line, he allowed himself to slip a mental cog and stepped off first base after calling for a runner. Adams - tagged the pitcher before the "umps” had railed time and Bed Oak blew up. Mumper followed Berg with a single, hut the chance of a tie game was shot. Red Oak slumbered blissfully on from the fifth to the ninth frames, poling out only one more hit off of Braniff. Lindberg, second sacker for the winners, was in receipt of a busy day when the final out, Holberg’s fly to Lindberg, was checked in. Lindberg handled 13 chances, erring on one. Biffy Smith pitched the second game for Macedonia, and won said game, whiffing 16 Lenox bat wleld ers and allowing three hits in his more sympathetio moments. ‘‘Biffy’’ let Lenox know who was on the mound In the first three frames, breezing eight of the nine batters who faced him. After that Lenox was perfectly safe In his hands. Smith won his game, 2 to 0. Macedonia won their game In the first frame when they hit Cleo Haynes for two singles and combin ing them with a walk, manufactured two runs to mfttch against Lenox’s zero. In the first Inning R. Smith sin gled and took second on Dye’s sacri fice. Phillips fouled out. but Zanders walked, stole second and scored with Smith on Trede’s swat to right field. Trede was left stranded after taking second on Brannon’s error. Ilaynes settled down alter the opening inning and held Macedonia to four singles, being in danger only once, that when Macedonia filled the bases in the seventh with none down. Pitching superb ball and backed with fine fielding Haynes slid out of the warm posi tlon undamaged. Luck played u small part of his escape, however, when Monroe, first sacker, made a meat hand grab of Zanders’ drive down the base line and threw R. Smith out at the plate. Lenox never had a real chance to score during tile nine frames. They never got more tluin one man on base during the game and received no walks from the hard hearted "Biffy.” A crowd of 800 was on hand to witness the opening games. This afternoon the Council Bluffs Kaglos will meet Grant and the Bluffs U. P. Shops will tangle with Crescent. The opening game will begin at 1:30 o'clock. ME.U uak PACIFIC.
