"Kid" Shay lost his first Allison
Hill League game of the season la3t
evening when pitted against (he
Reading team. It was the thirteenth
contest played in the league and the
number put the jinx on the youth.
Score, 8 to 3. It was his only defeat
in four starts.
The Galahads put up another of
their erratic contests. Like the girl
in the rhyme, "When they are good,
they are very, very good. But when
they are bad they are horrid." Last
week they played two splendid ex-j
hibitions, and won both.
On the other hand, the railroad
ers put up one of the best fielding
games seen in the league this season.
They fielded brilliantly and hit at
opportune times. While Shay struck
out nine of the members of the
winning team, the latter got their
hits in clusters, which brought In
the runs.
Reading sent two runners across
the plate in the very first inning, j
"Vic" Ibach reached first on an cr-!
ror. W. Euker was passed. Wingard j
erred on Levan's drive and both the
runners counted. In the next round
three more runners raced over the
pan. '*Tim'' Euker knocked out
the first of his trio of bingles. Po
land made a miscue and G. Swartz
reached first, Euker advancing to
second. The latter counted on Win
gard's second error, Ibach going to
first. McCurdy rapped out a pretty
double, sending two more across.
But the Reading captain was thrown
out at third In trying to stretch his
hit.
Not content with five runs, the
nine .managed by "Charlie" Pressler
ran the score to eight. "Tim" Eu
ker and E. Swartz made the hits that
brought in the tallies. Galahad also
had busy sessions in the third and
fifth. Shay and Cobaugh sent two
team-mates home with timely hits.
Their final count resulted from Hol
land's single and Shay's double. With
two out in the sixth, a threatening
rain and windstorm broke up the
game. The lineup and summary:
