The West End hit in timely fashion and romped away with the victory in the second and third in nings. Reading scored a lone tally! 'ln the fourth inning and another in ' the seventh. That was as far they | got toward winning. They didn't | field as cleanly as did their rivals, i either, which may have had some- | thing to do with the West End ac- , ,cumulating five runs in the early, minutes of the twilight session. i Kline, the West End first sacker, j C opened the second inning with a I vicious hit that bounded off Mcl- j linger's knee and gave him first. ! Timotheus Euker sacrificed, advauc- ! ing Kline to second, Mellingcr j throwing him out to Giblin. Knignl rapped out a genuine single, scoring | Kljjie. Strieker followed with a two- ■ bagger, scoring Knight. Then Wil liam Euker, not to be outdone by | Strieker, hit for two bases, scoring ! the West End twirler. McCord, [ next up. went out when Mellingcr j fielded his infield bingle to Giblin, | retiring the side. The sum total of I this interesting period was four hits i ■: md three runs. Two More Runs In the third inning Shafer, third- j sacker for West End, hit a single. A low throw to first allowed him ! to get across. Wagner and Kline, I who followed, both fanned before j the puzzling curves Mellinger began - to hurl across. Timotheus Euker hit ! a hot one to short.
