Steve Crippen went the route for the Craters and blanked the Medics for the first five innings. The losers nicked him for four runs on eight hitsin the last four frames, but the Craters had given him a big enough early lead to make things safe. He fanned nine and yielded a dozen safeties. The locals didn't waste much time in getting five runs off Charlie Johnson, who pitched the distance for the hospital. Wilky's single, stolen base and Lawson's blow accounted for a run in the second, and the Cra tcrs bounced right back with four more in the third.

Just to make the victory certain, the Craters got three more in the first of the ninth on singles by Calac and Freer and three mis haps. The Craters were playing as the visiting team. The soldiers finally broke through Crippen's delivery for a run in the sixth. With two gone, Johnson singled to right I and went to third hen the ball I went through Jones.
