Keaton and Jackson pretty heavers’ duel in which honors were about even.. The difference lay in thé home run of the former. It came with # runner on the paths, while the Vets were trailing one to two and spelled victory. Keaton fan- ned three men in the opening of the seventh to keep it safe. » Elks Take Lead The Bills started off in the first inning when Blake was giv- en first base by Keaton, went to second on Coughlin’s sacrifice and continued to third while Keaton threw Jackson out at first. Barra- gar's two-base hit scored Blake. Again in the third inning the Elks marked. Bothello was safe at first when Grummett muffed Bob Keaton’s throw, and went to second on a wild throw by B. Keaton. Blake walked. Cough- lin hit to shortstop, who threw to third. Bothello was out, and Blake took second on the play The latter scored and Coughlin took second when Jackson grounded out to Grummett, un- assisted. Barragar was safe on first when T. Keaton muffed his grounder, Coughlin going to third. B. Keaton caught Bar- ragar stealing second and threw to T. Keaton, who made the put- out. The Legion did not get a start until the fifth inning. Midkiff hit over short and stole second. He scored when Cunningham slammed a two-base hit to left field. Jackson tightened up and struck out the next man up, and the following two were put out, Jackson to Andrews. Nello, first man at bat for the Legion in the sixth, struck out. Grummett was given life at first when Blake booted his grounder, and was driven in by Bob "Kea- ton’s home run into deep left field. Heinke hit a grounder through second but was cut a moment later when Bairagar threw Midkiff’s hit to Scott at second. Midkiff died at first when Cunningham flew out to Blake. Keaton struck out the first two men who faced him in the last of the seventh. Sabin was safe at first when Isaacson juggled his grounder, but Bothello fanned for the third out and the game was over. staged ¢ Lineup and Summary AMERICAN LEGION AB R H PO A -t Keaton,T.

Robertson narrowly escaped possible serious injury in the game he hurled against the Moose last week. A terrific smash off the bat of Pete Schmitz caught him squarely in the side before he could swerve or protect him- self with his gloved hand. It was thought at first some ribs might have been fractured but nothing more serious than bruises and a painful side resulted from which he has not fully recovered. Tomorrow night the Moose and American Legion, naw tied for first place in league standings, will come together. If the Vet- erans put up the same brand of ball against the Paps as they showed last night in their tilt with the Elks, Manager McKin- non's scrappy aggregation will have its task cut out if it hopes to breeze along in the van. Seven-inning games will become a rarity if more speed isn’t shown by the ball tossers in getting these evening affairs under way. This was indicated by President Charles E. Naghel yesterday. He announced to all the clubs that any game starting as late as " dclock would be limited to five frames. He hopes that this will sort of stimulate the boys to get out a wee bit earlier. 667 667 500 liill—| | | another SECOND | Someone should be given the floor to say a word for the down [trodden Phillies. some criticism | which the permitted star of a trade by Philadelphia Nationals Jimmy Wilson, their catcher, to go to St. Louis r a flock of minor leaguers.
