Two out when winning run was scored Russwins Win In a free hitting and a loosely played game the Russwins took the measure of the Newmatics Saturday afternoon. The result was a shut- out for the Newmatics, while the Russwins scored 15 runs. Turner the big lad ror the New- matics was on the mound and burned them over in such a manner that thirteen of the Russwin 1 ters were victims of his slant support offered to this lad was very poor and caused him to losc. On top of this Turner weakened towards the end and the Hardware lads put the game on the ice. The game went along at a neat pace until the fourth frame when the Newmatics went to pieces, un- der a shower of drives. From then on it was a walkaway for the win- ners. The Russwins started their scoring in the third inning when Jervis first man up sent out the first hit of the game a clean single to right. The next two men went out in order. Then came a slash- ing hit off the bat of Goodrich to right field scoring the runner. Blanchard poked one out to the center garden with Goodrich going to third. Scheidler’s hard hit ground- er went through the shortstops legs and both runners scored. In the fourth the fireworks con- tinued again with the winners scor- ing four. Numerous misplays fol- lowed by two hits did the trick. The barrage was continued in the re- maining innings, with the Russwins stepping way out in the lead. The Newmatics made several efforts to rally, but each spurt was nipped by the right hand slants of Blanchard and his mat Scheldler, center fielder for the Russwins put in a busy afternoon stabbing - flies over his nead and picking them off his shoe tops.
