Show MAGNA WALLOPS LOCALPLAYERS Invaders Take Long End of 10 to 4 Came on Sloppy Field. Passes Prove Undoing of "Hod" Grant. Brown Pitches Good Ball. Bingham's baseball team of the Copper League slipped down a notch on the local lot Sunday afternoon when the Magna team won a 10 to 4 victory. The game was played on a muddy field, and considering the softness of the dirt, both teams played exceptional exception-al ball. "Hod" Grant, Bingham's southpaw, started the game for the locals, and his own passes proved his undoing, as he pitched nice ball with the exception ex-ception of his lapse of memory as to the location of the plate. He fanned three men in the first inning, and repeated the trick in the fourth, but hits followed his walks, and the enemy had enough runs in the first four innings to win the game. Dunn relieved Grant in the fifth, and pitched a better brand of ball than the score shows. Dunn fanned ten men, and kept his hits well scattered. scat-tered. Hulse started on the mound for the visitors and lasted four innings, when Brown was sent to the rescue. Brown pitched a great game, holding the locals lo-cals to three scattered hits beside fanning 7 men. Morley and Archibald divided the hitting honors for the day with three 10, Bingham 6.

Pitching record: rec-ord: 5 hits and 3 runs off Hulse in three innings, 3 hits and 1 run off Brown in 6 innings, 6 runs and 7 hits off Grant in 4 innings, 4 runs and 6 hits off Dunn in S innings.

Errors were few and far between, both teams registering but two apiece. Walks paved the way for most of Magna's scores. Crant is slowly getting his eye on the plate, and a few more games' will find this southpaw, among the best in the league. He fanned 7 men in the four in-nnigs in-nnigs he worked, the heavy hitting left handers being the easy victims. Dunn, who relieved him pitched good enough to win the average game, but the Magna players had too large a lead to overcome. Brown relieved Hulse in the fourth with Grant at the bat, after Bingham had scored two runs, and held the locals lo-cals safe from then on. But three hits were made off the Magna ace.

Whiteley misjudged Archibald's fly in the fifth, and the hit went for two bases. Egbert's home run clout in the fifth, was a lusty wallop over the left field wall.
