In the second stanza, Jensen walked his first man and went down with a strike out. Appearing to have sighted in onc¢e more in the last frame, Jensen sént three fast ones across to drop the first batter, but fell off the mound when he walked his second man. On the other hand, young Ham- 1lin had a great deal of trouble find- ing the mark with his first catter. But with the count three balls and two strikes, the sharpshooting Ham- lin tossed the next one right down the middle and was on the way to a perfect afternoon. The next four- teen katters came up and went down without once placing Hamlin in the +3-2 tight spot. In the last frame, the Ketchikan champ was once more faced with the heavy count, but as in the first heat, he split the cen- ter with the next one, and foljowed through to fan his next two with little trouble. A large crowd in the ball park gave the champ of Wash- iington and Alaska a big hand as he walked smiling off the field.
