third game of the season when they
humbled the Erov.n's All Stars of
Omaha, by a 10 to 4 score in a game
that showed the Sex in good form and
the visitors having one hectic in
ning in the sixth Iramc of the battle.
Both teams were going good in
the opening innings, the Sox getting
two hits in their half of the first,
but being held on the bases, while
the visitors were able to get on the
sacks but were caught in several fa3t
double plays by the fast fielding of
the locals.
The scoring was opened in the
third when Alex Schliscke rapped one
of the offerings of Timmon for a cir
cuit drive and from then to the fifth
there was no more scoring. Del
Sylvester, local hurler came in with
the second run when he singled
safely and scored on the single of
Stone.
The fateful sixth was the occasion
of the dumping of the visitors apple
cart when a deluge of, hits with three
errors gave the Sox a total of eight
scores and placed the old game in the
ice box. In the sixth Pierce secuerd
a triple, Sylvester a double and
singles by Spidell, Stone and New
man.
The visitors scored twice in the
seventh, Lyons walking, while Mc-
Clanon was safe on an error that ad
vanced Lyon, both runners scoring
on the triple of Scholler. In the
ninth the visitors again made a fruit
less bid for victory and scored two
more runs to .bring their total to
four, Lyons singled and -was advanced
when McClanon doubled, going to
third, Lyons going out at the plate
on the fielder's choice of Scholler.
Both McClanon and Scholler scored
on the triple of Tracey, who was
caught at the home plate.
The locals will play the Lincoln
