Sawyer’s tossers failed to score in the seventh round and the tie was broken when the Pirates pushed another runner across the platter on a base on balls, a sacri- fice bunt and 2 single. The scoring ceased until the ninth inning when the Sluggers pulled the usual squeeze play with a man on third. Ingraham was hit by a pitched ball, stole second and went to third on a_ wild pitch. Gonzalez bunted perfectly and the score once more remained tie. The tenth round looked bad for the Sluggers. There were three men on bases, two down and Noel Gordon up to bat. After socking one far into rightfield for a fowl, Gordon was issued a free pass and the tieing run was foreed in.’ The next batter hit an easy fly to Pie Traynor. Both clubs fought furiously to score in the next two rounds but unsuccessfully. Altho allowing 10 hits, Howard Gates pitched twelve beautiful in- nings. In the second round he was given a big hand when he struck out the last three batters to face him with the bases loaded. Lbpez, too, pitched a nice game. He was taken out in the eighth in- ning, however, as he appeared to weaken. He allowed but two hits, Sanchez was touched for 3 hits in four innings. Quintan Lopez, in five trips to the plate, hit two singles and a home run. The second game was called in the first of the third on account of rain. The score: R. H. E.
