.One of the most thrilling and sen-
Mtional plays we have witnessed on
the^softball arena this season caThe
m the game last Friday between the
Meixhanta and Instructors when Eilla
Rowell, playing left field for the
Merchants stabbed a long soaring fly
from the bat of Haydu of the Instruc
tors far out In foul territory Juat'a few
took
the ball while rushing t>ack pell melT,
.sticking his left hand up to stab it.
Umpire Jack Nettles, who says his
® '••ticient, called
the bail foul, not noting the catch in
^e gathering darkneag. But all of
Rowell’s mates and scores of specta.
tors saw it and after a brief huddle,
Rowell was given credit for the catch.
This chap llowell is a big fellow
and the way he can cover ground la
amazing. He Is a tower of streuetb
^o^ the Merchant team. '

The scoring by both teams was all
done in a single frame. The Merch
ants got ai4ay in the third when two
hits and six prrors by the Instruotors
nett^ them four runs. Tbi Instruc
tors threw the ball all over the dia
mond. Rowell, who starre^ In the
outfield for the Merchants, got an
unique homer in that inning when he
was safe at'first after Chichester let
Jibe third strike get away. Two more
errors, one by Taylor and the other
by Haydu and Rowell was all the way
home, not stopping at qpy. station-en
route. His world flight effort appear
ed to hkve thrown the opposition into
confusion. ' . *^
^
In the fourth, however, the Instruc
tors exploded and they outfit the
Merchants by scoring four runs on
one hit. But there were three errors
back of the hit, which with a walk, ac-
counted fbr the quartet of counters.

Boykin of the Merchants and
Taylor of the Instructors, both pitched
four hit ball. Taylor had four strike-'
outs and did not yield a walk while
Boykin failed to register a strikeout
and walked two. *
