In a four inning match at the ball park yesterday the Mechanics beat the Bankers 6 to 4. The game ended at the close of the fourth without agreed play or umpire authorization and bankers seek an extra inning another evening. Umpire Ed Downs faced criticism for a passed ball error allowing a run as Drish scored from second in the third. Doan and Peck pitched well for the Mechanics, while Dunlap and Rudiger reached base for the Bankers in the fourth but were left stranded. Boals contributed a hit for the Mechanics, and Finley did as the catcher and top contributor. The batting orders listed Bankers and Mechanics with multiple players named. Tonight the Moose face the Barbers in a top league contest.
