THS Bees won a pitchers' battle from the Tigers yesterday. The battle consisted of a desperate encounter between the pitchers and their managers, the one trying to see how much damage they cou:d inflict on their own club, and the other struggling ferociouFlv to get the pitchers out of there. The Vernon pitchers beat their manager bv a large margin. Out of the five fli tigers who were sent up. only one patched baseball, and he sure pitched it. Charley Baum was present with bells ringinc and horns blowing and whistles tooting. He took over a baBes-full eituatlon from Al Gould in the fourth inning, in-ning, pitched two bails, retired the side on a double play, which he himself started, and thereafter went merrily on his way. Two celebrated spitbahers started the game in the persons oi Al Gould and Byron Houck. Perhaps it was because there was already a superabundance of moisture in the atmosphere, and for that reason anv further wetness lavished on the ball was rejected with scorn perhaps it was this, or perhaps it was just because be-cause the spitters wouldn't spit that the batsmen on both sides rammed the ball to ail parts of the field and five times out of the field. Houck was relieved of his burden at the end of the second inning, in-ning, and Gould pssed on ln the fourth. Pete Schneider took up Houck's job. and, after pitching an inning or so, he gave wav to Willie Mitchell Willie flung some rioble baseball for a couple of rounds and then his wisrgle ball got to working. Bases on balls flowed out of Willie's trusty left like juice out of a watermelon, but Willie staved with 'em to the bitter end. I The Bees took a seven-run lead in the j second inning, and. curiously enough, they had a seven-run lead at the finish, although al-though mar.v things happened in between. Once the Tigers were within three points of the locals, but they couldn't get any nearer. The somewhat unusual spctac! was presented of two home-run drives being hit in succession, ileusel and Borton did that. Johnson's Noisy Bat. Ernie Johnson went to the most extraordinary ex-traordinary extremes with the bat yesterday. yester-day. Ernie knocked a home run. a triple and two doubles, all in five times up. , He would have got another double but for , the slick work of Chet Chadboume, who robbed him of it. Clarence Brooks, th-Tiger th-Tiger catcher, also had a fat day, knocking knock-ing a homer, a double and two singles. Eddie Mulligan knocked the last homer for the Salt Lake side and won the daily offering of fuel. Eddie won himself a box of candy, too, and Brooks also draws the sweet stuff. The hitting yesterday totaled fifty-one bases, which makes each of the twenty-six twenty-six hits equivalent to a two-base hit, wanting but the minutest fraction. Now, twenty-six two-base hits naturally should I produce some runs. Add to the twenty- ; six hits, thirteen bases on bails, ar.d a clever mathematician has the foundation for some stunning arithmetic ! Gould got past the first Inning with rothing mora threatening than a base on balls. The Bees scored twice In their half. 1 Magcert knocked the ball into centerfield for'whst would have been a clean single. The ball, however, bounded over Chad-bourn's Chad-bourn's head and went for a triple. Johnson John-son follewed with a drive over the right field fen-e. Krug also doubled in taat inning, but the next three went otit in The Tig-r? tied the score in the second when Brooks hit a homer over tha left field fence with High on first. Bees Make Seven. The Bees made seven in their half of the second. Mulvey started with a single p.rid sec-red on Byler' s double. Go jld'a sacrifice put Eyler on third. Magert walked and both scored on Johr.nn's triple to center. Krug's hit to left scored Johnson. Sheely walk1'. Rumier Tied out to Chadboume. Mulligan's honrr over the left fi"ld fence brought In Krug ar.d Sheely. Mu.vey got another hit, but was thrown out at second. The hits numbered num-bered s x for a totai of twelve bases. The Tieers made four in the third. C'h a '.1 bourne, by reason of a walk, scored r head cf Meusel, who hit the ball ovt. H cton fallowed with another homer. Ed-dincton Ed-dincton walked and High forced him at t'ond. High s:ored on hits by Brooks and Hour k. A double by Johnson, a sacriflre hit by1 Krjg and a sacrifice fly by Sheely gave I the Bees one in the fourth. A single by Fisher and a double bv I Brooks rang the bell for thp Tigers In the 1 fifth. It was the final run for the visitor?". The Eees made two In the seventh. I Ktub1 started with a sinrle and wa fcreed ' by Sheelv.
