" (Continued From i'ago Buvuii) bOFT BALL GAME8 ers were touched for ten hltH, those t'j om the slums of J ukle were converted Into homers, triples and doubles through the cureless work of the outfielders. It would have been a whitewash smear for the Wolves but tor the fuct that the darkness of the last tuning made it difficult to field the bull, ulready soaked and greasy from a wet field. The crowd was stuplflod by the blundering defense of tlie erstwhile cocky Merchant's team. They came expecting a lurid battle and they saw a rout. The Wolveg on the other hand, heartened by a two run sally in the first round acquired a confidence that they maintained throughout the game. The gume put the Wolves to the front in the second half ruve. A gume back of them Is the Merchant's team and right on the heels of this team Is the Guard outfit. Tho schedule this week calls for the Wolves to battle the Motors and a return game with the Merchants. The Wolves play the Guards on Wednesday, September 1.1 The Guards have two games this week and a game next week. The Mer-j chants have three mture games to play. On the dope there can be some big changes in the complexion of the race before the curtain drops on the regular schedule next Wednesday. While the Wolves are leading the race at this writing, the fact that after the next game with the Merchants Is the last that the team will have Its full strength, the chances are slim for the Pack to take the pennant for the second half. The best bets for the flag are the Guards and Merchants, although LI err Basil Bruce may spring an upset as he did against the White Sox last week. The Wolves lose Uhame, Vllleplgue, Jack Nettles and Kirk land after the Thursday game ub these players are all going to the football camp in the mountains. To get back to that Tuesday game? the Wolves lit on Jake Haynes in the first Inning for it triple by F. Woolen, single by K. Woolen, a double by Jack Nettles and an error by Williams to push two runners home They added a third run in the second frame on triples by Khanie and Z. Clarkson. The Merchants hud a chance to tie up tho count in tho first and third frames but some boueheud coaching at third mixed with boiuo sand lot plays permitted the Wolves to keep the plate from being crossed. The Wolves raised the score to live in the fifth when Zander Clarkson homered with two on. Then in the seventh triples by Z. Clarkson, F. Woolen mixed with errors by Haynes. J. Wilson and McDowell put four Wolves home. The Merchants threatened In the almost late evening gloom of the seventh to stage a big rally. Good&le opened with a triple and scored on Nolan's hit. McDowell singled scoring Nolan. Then Rhaine lost control and walked two men with two down. Moseley struck nt three fast ones and the game was over. Notes of the Battle Z. Clarkson hit a homer and two triples In three trips to the plate. F. Wooten showed he can wield a baseball bat just as good as a brassie when he tripled twice In four times up Uhame gave ten hits as did Havnos but Uhame kept his well scattered and was given excellent support. Jake allowed the bunching of hits at times when his support blew wide open. 1 he Merchants sure lost their pep after that first inning wlo-n the Wolves went to town Z Clarkson's triple could have been held to a single had the hall been fielded properly The grounds wore soaking wet and 'he diamond as slippery as grease. In ?iinsequence the player performed \arlous forms of acrobatic tricks. A big crowd gathered to see these two rival teams battle. Fair or Foul Ball Wuite a number of the fans and p!a\ers have made inquiry of the bu 'e.t'i (if recreation as to whether a ball that was hatted and which struck out.-ide of the tirst base line and then tolled along and over the line was !a>r or foul The rule on this Is the same In softball as In hard ball and is in effect ;? batted ball which first touches foul ground and then rolls into fair territory befoi e having touch ed any object on the playing field Is u fair ball, provided it rolls or bounces into the diamond before reaching first or third base " The ball in question struck foul but qolled into the diamond just before it reached first base and it was therefore a fair ball. Struggle To a TU Two games of sofrhall wet.e played in a sea of mud last Wednesday evening and neither game produced any change In the standings of the teams concerned. The Wolves and the Rodfearn Motors struggled through five innings of burlesque baseball to a 3 to 3 tie, the gamo being called at the end of the fifth Inning by Agreement. Clarkson Rhitme, after a sevon Inning pitching assignment did the iron man stunt of going on the hill Wednesday and gave but six hita in the five rounds while Beck Russell for * the Motors was tiii*k?*c! ton times. A third inning attack on tho slants of It 11 sso 11 gave tho Wolves throe runs ! and it looked like u million to the as sonihlod fans as the offensive of the Motors had failed completely. Cantey led oft with a single and lthatne fo!I lowed suit John illepigue hit safe ' and Cantey scored Z C'larkson w'as out on an inti? Id roller, but Jack Yillepigue hit safe to score Rhame. John Ylllepigue oanie in on F. Woolen's long drive to center. Jack Vllleplguo was run down between t,hird and home to retire the side. The Motors pushed a run home in ' the third inning but the big assault on the slants of Rhame came in thft fifth when with one down Williams singled. Sheom walked. Babin walked i to fill the bases. Beck Russell don* > bled and two runs boo red. Babin was killed ut the plate. Russell went to third on Llghtfoot's Infield hit ?"atoe flew out to third. The game was full of arguments and acrobatic stunts, even ^umpire Mays taking an artistic slide on his face in trying to follow a play at third. Clarkson Rhame would have scored a home run and won his own game in the fifth had he not slipped down between first and second. At that he reached third before the ball was relayed back to the infield. * Bruce 8?Zemp 4. The game between the Zemp and Bruce teams, which did not start until 6.30 was halted at the end of tha fourth inning with the score 8 to 4 in favor of Bruce. V..
