House of David Wins Handily Over StarsHuntingdon’s All-Stars didn’t have enough whiskers for the House of David and the exhibition game last night., played before a crowd ranging between three and four thousand spectators, went all the way of the bearded nine, 22-to-l.The House of David had: everything it took to be great baseball machine. Babe Didrick-■ son showed the local boys just What a girl could do in baseball, handing out two return tickets to the bench and a flimsy grounder to the three batters who faced her in the first.She pitched the first inning■ only, but came to bat later in the game as a plnch-hitter. Plenty of sparkle and pep, and some flashing speed on her way to first, brought applause from the crowd.The pepper game went over big, as usual. Four House of David players tossed the hall in hewllderlng fashion, until i.he hand was about three moves quicker tnan the eye, and most spectators were blinking.The donkey game, after the regular game, was a high-light of the evening, as the House of David rode to victory at will on the stubborn burros. Views of Tom Wear heading for some place around first base, Arn Green holding down his first base post astride the little steed, and attempts of the whole All-Star to corral a I-Iouae of David base-rid er, were well worth the price of admission,The home boys didn't put up their usual type of hall. The lights had a great deal to do with this, as the ball was hard to see coming down out of the dark The only score was made on Cata-lusci’s walk, Hitter’s infield out a.iid Fagan's clean single to right, which scored Catty from second base,The shining stars of the House of David game were Boose. Moulder, and Traynor. For the All-Stars Hitter played a stellar gamo at sbort-stop. Fra lter's hitting was out-s I an ding for the local team.The House of David scored in every frame after the first, gradually piling up the runs until they spent their whole bag of tricks in the ninth, sending across seven men. The attendance was one of the largest ever recorded on the local field,.and the second appearance of the House of David proved even more successful thanthe first, whichwaslastyear.The box score House of DavidahrhpoaWilliams, 2bi)2213Moulder, ss72322Connolly, if71110Ttaynor, 3bfi421ftBoose, lbr53(iftJacobs, cla1210f»ucas, rf63400Smith, c322In1Didrickson, p00000Walsh, p41200Whitehill, p11000Total522221276All-StarsabrlipoaEmfield, If1(1110Weller, cf30001Brandt, If2o000Greene, 2b, lb401112Miller, 3b20011Fraker, p. cf4lt;1211Streightiff, rf10000Troy, lb11}030Ritter, S33002GByers, c20071T.
