Simg got away to an early lead but was vnable to hold it as late inning rallies by Praither’s team overcome it. The game was not. a 3 close as the onei the day before, nor was the playing as good. Dui ing the game the two téams made }llß runs, but enly gathered 12 safe its. Sims took the lead in the first inning by secoring two runs. He added another in the second and sent three across in a boom for runs without hits in the third. In the meantime the Priather boys had gatherad two in the first inning but Abe Link had settled down and the Praither team was unable to solve his offerings again rntil the fourth. In this frame they put three markers over to come within one run of tying the score, & With the score reading 6 to 5 in his favor, Sims added anotker in the fifth to get a two run ad- vantage. Praither's boys, their dander up, came back in the fifth and made a bold effort to tie things up, but fell one run short. However, their fighting spirit was up now, and nothing could stop them, so they went to work in the seventh to score two runs and take the,lead. They were not satisfied with the one rin i lead, however, and -continued the ,assault in the eighth and sent a trio of runs streaking_ across the plate as a finish to their days work, ’ The hitting, as said before, was |light, Carl Hancock was the lead er for the day with three safe ‘licks out of four tries. Resentha) land Mewhourne got two for five for the winners. . The pitching was gooqi despite |Lhe large' gscore registered. Link for the losers’ pitchad ball that lwould have won any ordinary game, but errors proved his down lfall. He gave tp seven hits. 'John Bondurant hurling for the ‘winners was also- the victim of ‘poor support, but was able to pull through, mainly because he gave the losers only five hits. . The fielding featvre of the day went to Captain Cleéo Sims, cap tain of the losing team. ' It came in the eighth inning, Two men were on base and Matthews was at the bat, he hit a long drive into left field, Sims went back to the edge of th® bank in left and tcok the drive to retire the side ang save his team et least three rins. % 4 In today’s game, Hopking and his last place team will take on Hancock, The game will start at 6:25 and there is no admission charge, The' lineups: - 4 | PRAITHER— ab. r. h. e Bosgnthal, Bh.
