M' EBBE it would be well if it could be arranged to have Kenney Penner enjoy a touch of the grip ; ! every day. Penny has been ' dirting with Miss Influenza for the last J three days, and she threatened to floor i him a time or two. Penny refused to .,' surrender, however, and he was out i there yesterday battling both the Seals I and the grip. He beat the former, and : it is to be hoped that he has beaten ' the latter also. Penny had a real battle on his hands, too. Ir've Kantlehner, the Seals' lanky i; southpaw, was just about as effective as Penner was, but the Salt Lake heaver was given a little better support at : ihe bat. ! But for a wild pitch in the third in-;: in-;: ning. with a Seal on third, Penner I would have had a shutout. j Pitching Is Even. ' ' Each pitcher was touched for eight hits, each allonred three walks and each bad one strikeout. On that basis they were just about as evenly matched as two pitchers well could be. The only error of the game did not figure in the scoring. Each side had a double play ' ;to help the pitching along. I A pick-up of a low thrown ball by Sheely, at a critical juncture, and a sensational stop by Jerry Downs, were fielding features. i There was enough hitting in the game to put some runners on the paths almost al-most every inning, and there was some lively baserunning to keep the fans alert. Both sides repeatedly had chances to drive in runs, but the whack with 1 which to do the driving was lacking. A goodly company of runners on both sides was stranded on the sacks. The Seals made their lone run in the .third inning. With one out, Downs slammed one to the left field fence. McK.ee 's out put him on third, and he scored on a wild pitch. Bees Make Two. The Seals had men on second in the third, fourth and fifth, and in the seventh sev-enth they worked a man around to third. i In the third the Bees had the bases full, but as there were two out nobody scored. The locals counted their first run in the fourth. Orr led off with a two-bagger two-bagger to center. Farmer sacrificed him to third, and he scored on Sands 's sacrifice sac-rifice fly. They made their second and winning run in the fifth. Siglin and Chappell hit safelv, Siglin going to third on Larrv's blow. After Sheely had skied out Chr forced Chappell at second, Siglin Sig-lin scoring on the play. In the eighth Orr worked his way around to third on an error, a sacrifice sacri-fice and a hit, but he died there when a double play Tetired the side. The clubs will play again this afternoon after-noon at 3:30 o'clock. |
