Garden baseball club to a lone hit while his team nicked Prank Dickinson for 11 safe blows and won an 8 to 0 contest at Taylor park. A large audience gathered expecting to see a close battle as the teams played a 4 to 4 tie the day previous, owever, the be-whiskered fellows went on a hitting rampage and smothered the local club. Wright not only hurled well but also led his team In hitting getting a single, double and triple, in as many times at bat. His blows wore instrumental In scoring several of his team’s runs,The visitors counted a run in the opening frame, on a series of hits and threatened other times but did not again break Into the scoring column until the fifth when they registered a pair. Deal walked and Fenton followed with a double to left scoring Deal. Ellis then fumbled Harrison’s bounder and ail hands were safe, Wright singled to center and Fenton counted, The sixth Inning was featured by a bare handed stop of a hard drive by John Jurke, who recovered the ball in time to throw out the runner at first.Four more markers were counted by the winners in the seventh, With a mate on first Deal hit into what appeared a certain double play but Stover fumbled and lost both men, Fenton then singled to left scoring the head man, Harrison bunted the runners along and Wright followed with a triple registering two scores, Wright then scored on a Texas' leaguer by Dewhirst, The final run came in the eighth, this being the last Inning the game then being called because of darkness.Les Hill furnished the fielding gems for the outfield when, he picked Harrison’s long clout off the canvas, the ball having been labeled as a homer. He also made several other fine catches.Bill Fechter was spiked on the chin when a play was made to oatch' a House of David runner off first base. He continued playing, however.
