Show GARFIELD TEAM WALLOPS LOCALS Batting Rally in Ninth Inning Brings 11 to 10 Victory After Locals Lead by Nine Runs.-Consumes Nearly Three Hours. Garfield took Bingham's measure, 11 to 10, Thursday afternoon of last week at Garfield, in a game featured by the uphill play of the home team. Piling up six runs in the third, and three more in the fourth, the Bingham Bing-ham team saw nothing but another win, but the Smelterlads, by consistent consis-tent hitting, and hard work, -soon closed the gap, within three runs, winning' the game in the last of the ninth when thejr gathered four runs. Whiteley's hitting featured the game, with three hits in five trips to the plate, as did Griffith, who did likewise. Burt started on the mound for Garfield, Gar-field, but was knocked out of the box in the third, Rowberry, a southpaw replacing him. Rowberry pitched a nice game of ball, his slow one completely com-pletely fooling the Miners. In the ninth, he was replaced by Hunsaker, who finished the inning without further fur-ther damage. Jerry Dunn started the game for i Bingham and lasted until the seventh, when Parry took the mound. Parry pitched a nice game and although credited with the loss of the game, should have been declared winner, a two flagrant mishaps in left field paved pav-ed the way for the Garfield victory. What happened before the fateful ninth, matters naught, let us see what happened in the last frame. Griffith opened the game with a pop up back of short, that, both Whiteley and Taylor Tay-lor let fall to the ground, Griffith tying up at second. Staples fanned, and then Read singled to left. White-ley White-ley let the ball get away from him, and both Griffith and Read scored. Smith flew to Whiteley for the second sec-ond out. Henderson singled to rii'ht, and then Ewing was hit by a pitched ball. Hunsaker then stepped to the plate ,and sent a triple to left center, scoring the tying and winning runs.

WHAT WE SAW When it takes over two hours to complete a ball game, there is something some-thing wrong in Denmark. A ball game ceases to be when fans are asked patiently to sit by for three hours. Bingham had the game well in hand until that awful ninth. In the first inning, Taylor, in an attempt at-tempt to bunt, but popped to Burt, and Dowdell was an easy victim at first for a double play. 1 The fielders dropped back for Morley Mor-ley in the second, and he sent a weak pop tip back of short, that went for two bases. Morley then stole third, Burmeister having the ball in plenty of time, but the slide proved too much. A moment later a quick throw by Read -caught Morley off third. Smith made a lucky hit in the second, sec-ond, when ne tried to bunt, and the ball went over second base. With two men on base in this inning, in-ning, Dunn fanned the next two Garfield Gar-field batters. Buckle sent a terrific hit over Simpson's head in the third, that went for a homer. Taylor hit one in front of pitcher's box in the third, and beat the throw to first. McKee got credit for a hit when Dunn teat Griffith's throw to the plate in the third. Buckle nearly got under Griffith's long drive in the third. Taylor's hit in the fourth took a mean hop, and bounced over Staples' head. f Smith hit a hard one at Taylor in the fourth, too hot to handle, and was given credit for a hit. Taylor made a swell stop of Henderson's Hen-derson's hit in the fourth, and the center fielder was nearly doubled at first, after Smith was forced at second Papworth made a beautiful peg to second, in the fourth and caught Henderson. Hen-derson. Henderson robbed Taylor of a hit in the fifth when he snagged his fly to center. With two men on he paths and two out, Griffith fanned the ozone in the fifth inning, much to his disgust. Simpson made a swell catch of Baty's 1iard drive in the sixth, and robbed htm of a two bagger. After making a swell stop of Read's hard nit ball, Dowdell threw wild to first and Read went to second. Rowberry fanned two Bingham men in the seventh, with his slow one. Parry fanned two men in the seventh sev-enth when he relieved Dunn. Parry again fanned two men in the eighth. Hunsaker made a nice put out when he covered first in the ninth when Dowdell hit to McKendrick. It was a neat piece of work. Wile, it's over now, and can't be helped. |
