CO *"EM CLINCHES POST PENNANT=.PftACTICALLY:
?h© game between Co."Eu and Headquarters Co*,
on last Monday night was- a heartbreaker, as far as HQ,was
comc®rned*for HQ,garnered three runs in the very first stanza
only to lose in the last frame,with two men away,and the game
almost copped .Both Andy and Clark hurled magnificent ball,but
errors behind them tied both pitchers up in bad knots.Andy ap
peared to have the worst of it,but all his bad luck came in the
early part of the fracas,while Clark,after having the contest
in his mitt,had to st and and watch it kicked away by his in
field, in the last frame,when "E” was on its toes,and making
every error count .Headquarters showed fine sportsmanship,when
the team fought on after a doubtful decision by the Umpire in
the last inning,-for while it is now generally agreed that His
Uraps was right,yet his pronouncement cost HQ.a lot at the time
that he made it,-and not every team would have the gameness
to accept the decision as "Tex's" gang did.
Andy,as usual,Harney,Simmons,and Maxwell were the
shining lights for nE" Co*,especial ly in the field,while the
hitting of Nimitz, Clark,and Cox, and the fielding of Crocoll
and Wilson featured for HQ. Neither team, clouted the ball much,
only about 4 hits being gathered off of either twirler. In spit9
of the fact that th9 Semi-Official Scorer,"Slim0 Daniels,belongs
to "E” Co*,he apparently couldn’t have expected much of hif
team,for he kept track of HQ’s box score only.But anyhow,-the
line-up was as follows:
