HITTIN' the dirt and hittin ' it hard won the game for Salt Lake yestorday, after it looked like an oddsou.bet that tho Timers would turn in a victory. Never before lias there been such eliding and (lipping and swimming hereabouts as the liees displayed in the seventh inning, in-ning, and they slid and slipped and swam to sucli good effect that they wound up the day's work with a score of 5 to 3 in their favor. Twico did Salt Lake base runners submerge sub-merge at the homo plato just as the Tiger catcher was in the act of pasting the ball onthem, and each submersion called for a tally. In tho same inning another baso runner dived into third base on a double steal. All around it was a grand exhibition of how success perches upon the banner of him who dares. i Siglin, Star. While tho baso running of the Bees won them enough rings to triumph over their rivals, Mr. Paddy Siglin kept those same Tigers from rolling up a total Bforo that no amount, volume or quantity quan-tity of base running could havo overcome. over-come. Thrico Siglin went miles out of his way to field balls that seemed to be suro hits, and overy time he did it a Tiger turned over on his back, dead. There is no describing the work Paddy is doing at second base -it is something some-thing that has to bo seen to bring on that delightful tickling sensation that races up and dowu your back. To say simply that Siglin played a wonderful gam, that he went away behind the bag twice aiwt over beyond the bag another an-other time, tii at ho scooped a grounder up with one hand and siting his man out at first while standing on his ear to say these things is easy enough, but to mit a punch into tho saving of them is something else again, Afawruss, and ijwe confess our inability to write baseball tho way Paddy Siglm plays it. Fromme's Luck Fails. Art rirommo pitched tip-top baseball tor tho Tigers yesterday, ana it was through no fault of his pitching that his club lost. He appeared to be master of the situation from the very beginning, begin-ning, but his luck sagged in the seventh inning, and what witn tho home guard taking advantage of every chance, slim or fat, ami tho Tigers being always just a fraction of a second ben bid on the plav, the Jungaleers1 lead vanished and a Salt Lake lead took its place. Lofty Leverenz, heaving for Salt Lake, had a little hard luck himself, lor a while it seemed though everything every-thing the ATernoniies fay their bats on went safe, and at least half the hits the visitors registered off Lefty were of the mush ball variety. Of whatever variety, va-riety, however, they were hits and they figured just as nobly in the total as though every one. had been a clean, sharp-sou n ding whack. Tigers Start Early. Pate Daley, with fresh memories of his achievements as a waiter on Wednesday, waited again at the opening of yesterday's yester-day's game and drew a walk. He was slain attempting to steal second. Mitchell pushed through a single and was forced by Chadbourne. Chadbourne stole second and scored on Long's single to left. A stellar play by Orr on DeVormer's grounder retired the side. The Bees drew two hits in their half of the first, but failed to check in. The Tigers added another , tally in the second. Borton and Hosp singled and Westerzil sacrificed them along. Borton scored on Fromme's out. The game ran along lightly until the sixth, when the Bengaleers sent over their third run. With one out, De-Vormer De-Vormer singled, went to second on Bor-ton's Bor-ton's out and scored on Hosp's hit. Meantime the Bees had been able to do little or nothing with Fromme. In the (Continued on Following Page.) SPEED ON PATHS PUTS BEES Oil TOP (Continued from Preceding Page.) fifth they registered a double and a walk, buf as two were out there was no profit in that. p Bees Win in Seventh. The seventh for the Bees produced five runs and turned the. tide of battle. There was a tremenodus lot of baseball jammed into that ipning, as will be better understood un-derstood upon a brief description. Pete Daley started the Bees on their way when he dropped a fly hit by Harry Sands. There was more or less of an alibi for Pete, but the fly was dropped just the same, and Sands lived. Kon-nick Kon-nick was cracked in his broad back with a pitch. Then the doings began in earnest. Leverenz laid down a perfect bunt. Fromme fielded the ball and made a hight throw to first, Sands scoring on the heave. Farmer followed with a hit for two bases, scoring KonnLck and putting Leverenz on third. The best Siglin could do Was a foozly infield grounder and nobody dared move while Fromme was tossing Padtiy' QUt. Diving Across the Plate. Then the Bees put on their high-diving exhibition. Ryan hit a roller to Hosp, who flung the ball home, but Leverenz sank under the surface 'just as DeVor-mer DeVor-mer was about to stab him, counting the Bees' third tally and tving up the score. Next Orr bounded one to Borton, who also flungj the ball home, but Farmer' dived across with .the Bees' fourth run, dipping gracefully under the catcher's mitt. That run proved the winner. Chappell hit to Mitchell and Ryan was put out dn the third-base line. The next move was a double steal by Orr and Chappell, the farmer sailing into third and Larry into .second. Earl Sheely sent oneat Westerzil. which proved too hot for Tex- to field cleanly and Orr crossed in safety with the fifth tally. In the eighth the Tigers got -a walk and a hit, but got no more, and i 11 the ninth they got another hit. The clubs will play again this afternoon after-noon at 3:30 o'clock. Tf the Bees slip over another victory today they will improve im-prove their chances materially of winding wind-ing up the at-home stay next Sunday in first place. If the Tigesr win, the Bees will have to take the following two to start their road trip next week at the j head of the list. |
