Two rec- ords were broken by the champs yesterday. Garlets pitched the first one hit game in the league series and Spivey got the first home run. Spivey’s home run drive was good to loqk upon, going clear to the cen- ter field fence. Previous to this he had lined out a three bagger. The Locals scored three in the second when Eubanks walked, Chambers got an infield hit, Meharg sacrificed, Sawyer popped to the catcher, Gar- lets two-bagged it, scoring Eubanks and Chambers, Van singled, scoring Garlets. The run in the sixth was scored by Meharg, who got a two bageger, stole third and came home on Sawyer’s sacrifice fly. Three more rung were added in the sev- enth when Erie singled, stole second and scored when Rranch singled, Spivey's clout for the circuit scored Branch and himself.
