Somehow or other, Douglas couldn’t seem to get a ball through the infield. and Sogaard received wonderful support.

Oddly enough, for perhaps the Hhst time here, with pitching the ‘rull route, Sogaard failed to strike lout a single man. Local fans cannot | remember when such a thing has hnppened before, a man pitching good ball, pitching the entire route, ! and not getting a strikeout. Tonight, weather permitting, Elks will play the Moose at 6:30 &'clock in Firemen's Park. Box score and summary is as fol- lows: DOUGLAS AB R Roller, Andrews, Erskine, Rustad Jensen McCay, Bell, c.

Manager Howard Lee was serving them up for his Diamond Giants in batting practice before the Dia- mond-Central City game, A line drive struck him full in the face and broke his nose, Then the game got under way. In the first inning Central City's catcher was walloped in the back of the head with a bat. | In the second inning Central City's centerfielder was spiked in {the arm trying to steal second. In the fourth inning Central City’s pitcher and first baseman collided head-on going for a pop fly and both were knocked un- conscious, In the eighth inning a hard ground ball hit the Central City second baseman in the leg and ren- dered him hors de combat. Central City lost, 4 to 0. - Betty’s Good, Too SAN ANTONIO, July 23.—Betty Jameson probably feels a little bet- ter now about winning the National Women's Golf Championship last summer. Betty deserved to win the big title all right, but, as many pointed out, Patty wasn’t there. Patty, the 1938 winner, was out with an appendectomy. Betty got a crack at Patty the other day in the finals of the Trans-Missis- sippi championship—one of the country’s major events for women —and beat Patty Berg. Which may silence some of the wisecrackers.

The miracle of it is few, like Finney, ever reached clardom with another club af- ter Connie once let them go. Maybe Cenpie just get tired of ¢.eing Finney around.
