Successive errors by Judnik and Wera put men on first and second to start the fifth inning, hut Gordy struck out Hunter and Walsh and k Williams bounced to Wera who forc-W ed the man on second coining into third. The Davids went hitless in the next two innings, during which time Gordy fanned three and permitted the only walk he gave up all day.Going into the first of the ninth, the score was 0 to 0 and as Trayner was thrown out at first by Wera for the initial out the game gave every indication of going extra innings unless the Rapids was to score in their half. But it was not so written in the hooks.A Long TripleOjI” Smith, who had gone out on infield balls three times before, proved what an ex-major leaguer could do in the clutch and came through with a ball well over Sandlin's head in center field. A faster man could have made a homer out of it but the well-weathered .Smith was content to stay on third, and Jacobs hit a Texas’leaguer to short center field bringing Smith home for the only score of the game. Lucas struck opt and Hunter, the next_ batter, hfd two strikes called on him when Jacobs tried to steal second and was out on a perfect throw by Dunn to Bouton-The locals were still in there trying, with a one run lead to overcome. when Mitch was out to the first baseman unassisted, and Dtjnn bounced to the third sacker vjdio threw him out at the initial sack. But things were not yet over. Mar-^ lott beaned the third hit for the P Rapids out into center field and hopes took a little rise. But Chadwick Died out +o left field to retire the side wifb the Davids winning 1 to 0. The only consolation the Bap-ids had out of the game was Babe '*TDidrickson’s remark, “Ybu’ve got a ,*.\cdd ball club. And that was quite after all.Tomorrow, the Rapids will play the Madison Blues Madison in the postponed game for the state league second half championship. The tilt is a»ight struggle at Breeze Stevens field and _ - the winner is practically assured of trouncing Green Bay for the state championship.Tough Luck, GordyHouse of DavidABRHPOAEWilliams, 2b___- 300220Moulder, ss-----401020Boose, lb-----_ 4021200Traynor, 3b —_ 401020Smith, c__—___ 411710Jacobs, cf__-___ 402100Lucas, If_____400201Hunter, rf-----300200Didrickson-----, t00000Walsh, p ___200140331727111Wis.
