The battle was an exceedingly close one. the tide of victory shifting shift-ing with uncertain swing from side to side and Ogden's chances of winning win-ning were not all shattered until the last moment ot tho final round when, with two men on bases, Murphy hit a hard drive 'o right field which was booked one handedly by Rebscher, Murray's crack second baseman. 1 Linen, Ogden'a latest acquisition. ! 1 appeared for the first time on the lo cal grounds and worked fairly well, ! although the Smelters were able to locate his underhanded curvc6 for Hght safeties. The new man was very stingy with his comps and did not I permit a single batsman to walk. ! 1 Little, who did the twirling for the j j visitors, allowed seven hits and do- ' I rated two bases on balls. He Is a ' couth paw and has plenty of speed. Neither team scored until the j , fourth when on two errors and a I ' three base drive Murray pulled dowu ! two tallies. In Ogdeu's half of this j ; I Inning, after Glmlln and Blake were 1 j out. Bluth reached first on an error ! ' at third and came home a little later j j on a wild throw to second, made I i -when be wos attempting to pilfer the , ! tack. 1 I The Smelters did some aviating In I i the fifth. Linen, the first Lobster i . up, was bit, the ball bounding off ! I his back. A panned ball advanced ,' j ; him to second, but be was put out ! ' ; when he attempted to reach third, j : Maggie Murphy rolled a soft one ! I down the first base line ami jeached first while the Murray Infield was ! i trying to urge the ball to roll ouside the line. The sphere settled Just In-i In-i side the chalk and the howl of tho I visitors could not Induce Umpire Rog- rs to change his decision on the I falmens of It. Taylor struck out. i M'cselcr went t third. Tho Smellers j were in the air and when Glmlln I j drovo one to short the Murray player ' ot that point failed to connect pro;- ! erly with it, permitting Wessler to score. With Make at bat Ramshaw I was put out at third and the side re- 1 tired, the score standing at three to two in Ogden's favor. There was nothing more doing ' around until the fatal ninth, but the ! irrtereet In the contest was kept alrre by some, near runs and a very I clever double made by the visitors j ; In the sixth. !

Kaefer, the Smel- I tor's first baseman, made first on an error at short. A. Gunn struck out. ! At this point the fans began to move I- restlessly about in their seats pre- j raratory to a jubilant rush for the ' gates. Castro faced the pitcher and when Linen fired one of his low ones I tho visitor with the Central American j rame landed on It. The ball dropped untouched in right field and Rebscher came home, tying the score. T. Gunn J duplicated the work of Castro and j Kaefer came In. Little struck out, I for tho third time during the game, j and the bat waa handed to Ogden. I Plake and Bluth went out in sue- 1 cession. Lumley hit a two-bagger to center and Linen was given a base on balls. It looked like he had done j it when he touched one of Little's flings, driving It toward what looked I like a desolate place behind the sec- i ond baseman. The potential 6houts : ot tho fans, when they saw both Lum- ! ( ley and Murphy beating it for home, died unborn for the second baseman 1 . leaped high in the air and with one i prehensile hook took in Murphy's fly I und finished the game. 1 Following Is the scure by Umlngs: .
