MONDAY, JULY 9, 1934HOUSE OF DAVID CLUB SWAMPS WESTINCHOUSE REGULARS UNDER BULBS2,000 Fans See Visiting Bearded Team Pound Out 19 Hits to Turn Back Mansfielders, 17 to 0, at Fairgrounds—Three Pitchers Routed.By OSCAR Rl'HL, XcwsJoumal Sports Editor.SHOWING more hitting strength than any visiting team has ex-hibited on a Mansfield diamond this year, the long-haired representatives of the late King Ben’s House of David colony of Benton Harbor, Mich,, showered the spacious Fairground park with leads of base hits under the bewhiskered club's portable lights last night to blank the Wesfcinghouse Regulars by a 17-to-O count before a crowd estimated at 2.000.For five innings, the game was as interesting as any ever staged in a local bailiwick, but from then on it was complete rout. The House of David baseballers busted hits all over the lot, and not one of the three pitchers used by Manager Frank Emitter was capable of stopping the slaughter.Nineteen base hits were pounded out by the Davids, while Benson, who succeeded Grover Cleveland Alexander, the ex-big league pitching star, on the mound after the opening inning, held the Mansfield team to three safeties, Manager Emmer getting two of them.Aid Geiger started on the hillock for the Wes ties, and he limited the bearded men to two hits in the first five innitfgs. One other batter reached first in the third on an error, but Geiger was never in any serious danger.He weakened in the sixth, however, and the House of David bojs sent five runs across the plate before he could retire the side.The invaders again started spank-*-ing Geiger’s pitching in the next inning, and he had to be relieved by Yoxie Sulzbach. who didn’t fare as well as did his predecessor.HIT HARD IN EIGHTHSULZBACH got the side out in the seventh after three runs had been tallied, but he was notFisher Foods to Play Westies Here ThursdayThe Fisher Foods, one of the three teams tied for the lead in the Cleveland Class A league, will meet the Westing-house Regulars in a twilight game at the Fairgrounds at 5:30 p. m.

The bearded men hit everything Sulzbach threw pi ate ward, and the eight hits they got resulted in seven runs McKinley, the kid from Hayesville. assumed the pitching burden in the ninth. His wildness enabled the winners to register two more tallies.While all tnis was going on, the Westies’ bats were silenced almost completely by Benson. After Alexander turned back the Electrics without a hit m the. opening frame, Benson went to the mound.Only five men reached first base on him. Shupe was sate on Moulder's fumble in the second. Durant singled in the fifth, Emmer doubled in the sixth and singled in the eighth and Smith walked in the ninth.Not once did the Westies get more than one man on base In any one inning, and the fact that they were unable to hit is one of the reasons why they were beaten so badly. Much of this failure to hit can be blamed on the unfamiliar lights. However, it is doubtful whether they would have done any more against Benson in daylight because he was putting the ball where it just wasn’t being hit.* * *FEW EXTRA-BASE? HITSONLY three extra-base hits were turned in last night, and one of them was Lucas’ home run to right center, which climaxed the five-run rally in the sixth. The doubles by Emmer and Williams were the other extrabase knocks, the latter's scoring one of the two runs in the ninth.Williams and Jacobs set the batting pace for the House of David outfit, each getting four hits.In addition to leading the Westies at the plate. Frankie Emmer turned in the fielding feature of the game. His catch of Waytula’s drive m the fourth stood out above any of the other outstanding plays. Emmei deflected the drive with his glo\ed hand and then caught it before it fell to the ground.Following the game, a shortMajor League All-Stars Set For Big GameHubbeil, Gomez to Start on Mound in Annual Tilt Tuesday Afternoon,By ALAN GOCTJDNEW YORK — {Jp) — Shelving for a day the strife and strain of the major league pennant races, all-star teams of the American and National league meet— tomorrow at the Polo Grounds for the sake of charity and the fulfillment of the baseball fan’s midsummer day dreams.Upwards of 53,600 customers are expected to witness the atl-star spectacle and eontnbuting thereby to a “gate” of neatly $60,000 for the benefit of the players’ benevolent fund.
