Bandon scored one run in the first
of the second and one in the first
of the eighth while Marshfleld scored
one In tho last of the second and two
In the last of the eighth. Bandon
played an errorless game and all but
two or three of Marshfleld's errors
were excusable ones, although one of
Bandon's scores was due to them
partly.
In the pitcher's battle, Thiele had
considerable the best of it even
though his support was not quite as
gilt-edged as Bandon gave Jordan.
A three-bagger between center and
left by Causley In the eighth that
came might near being good for a
home run on account of bad throws
from the field by McKeown to Owen

reached third about the tlmo that
the ball did but it was a bad throw
and McCutcheon seeing that he
couldn't get It before It reached the
ground attempted to fall on It, fear

landed on Causley who was sliding.
The ball rolled on past but Thiele
was there. McCutcheon didn't get
up as quickly as some of the Ban

thoy rushed to third, accusing him
of holding Causley. For a moment
It looked as though there would be
trouble but It passed over. Schofleld
