in three runs ahead of him. Another
run had been driven aero«« the plat»
before they were finally retired.
This made the score 7 to 4. for the
Cavemen, The Pointers gut one
run across in the fifth when Blumen-
stein connected
wlth a double,
followed
by another double
Shrier (his second for the day).
In the middle of the fifth, Shrier
went in to pitch and Colley took
firrt.
The Cavemen were held
down that inning, but the Pointers
scored no runs in their half of the
sixth, so matters were still bad.
The aecond half of the sixth start"d
bad when Sage dropped a third
strike letting Smith of Grants Pa «
get on ha.ee. Then, when another
batter had got on base on an error,
and another walked, the Grants Piu-s
second baseman connected with a
single follpwed by another walk and
another hit, driving in five runs, to
make them a total of twelve runs,
In the Pointers last chance to bat,
Blumenstein got a hit and Anhorn
drove him in with another single.
Then Sage got a base on ball.-', but
Colley grounded out leaving two men
on base at the end of the game.
The game was not considered too
bad a loss, as It was kgainst an A
class school, and showed that with
more practice to iron out fielding
errors, the 1’olnter.M should have a
fairly good team against B league
competition. There were five errors
on the Pointers, while the Cavemen
collectd only two.
The first conference game will b<
