," Seven hits in a row in the first In-1
. ning prbved the undoing i of Marty
O'Toole yesterday Aand the ; lowly
Coon Creekers romped off with the
first clash of the four-game series,
6 to 4. i
Cass started off the game by Seat
ing out an inficjd hit. This so en-
i touraged F.wofdt, , Shanley, Hunter,
Hartford, Murphy and Coffey that
' each and every one pried off a single.'
Five runs right off the bat. Wowl i
That settled the hash of Pa's Pets.
-'The Pets slapped the offerings of Mr.
, Drtssen thirteen times, but they
couldn't make 'em when they meant
runs which is a bum time to make 'em.
Woody Williams and Ben . Shaw
were the only Rourke performers who
were in the ball game yesterday.
Woody and Ben both connected for
four hits and if their teammates had
been in a similar mood this story
might have a different eliding. One of
; Woody's clouts was a triple and two
yere doubles.- Also Williams pulled
off a very sensational one-handed
catch insight field. '"',.'
