MERCHANTS BREAK (JUNES SIRING OF mm 9-2 Wlien Tuesday evening’s amateur li ague game started at the East Side l,aik. the usual procedure was the order of the day. Ulines dropped Seir bats in the usual place; took sir usual positions on the diamond, w ith their usual playing confidence. When the smoke of battle had cleared aay at the end of the first inning, however, their confidence was gone. And by the end of the fifth inning, dre game had become a riot, so far Ulines were concerned, with ' the Merchants behind the masterful pitching of Sam Gwin, having the honor of giving them the first beating of the season to the tune of a 9-2 score. Gwin gave the card table outfit hut two hits in the six innings he pitched. As he retired, the Merchants were winning by a 9-1 score. Ulines scoredv once in the first and once in the ninth. Meddaugh started on the mound for Ulines and was pounded by the Merchants in their big fifth inning for live runs on four hits and three er'rors. Mellinger came to the mound during the bombardment ant}' was efi,dive the rest of the way. The Merchants scored three in the first and one in the second. merchants ab r h e Yoder c 3 1 1 0 Gwin p-3b 3 2 2 0 L. Tobias 1f... 4 1 2 0 l’ippen 3b-p 4 1 2 0 K. Tobias lb 4 1 0 0 It.

Coppes Bros, submerged the slipping Speed Boys under a 10 to 5 score Saturday afternoon for their first league victory. The Speed Boys were greatly handicapped, being without the services of their mound ace, Strang, and other players as well. Snyder piched fair ball but was hit hard in the pinches. Troup had little trouble with the youngsters outside of some difficulty in locating the. plate. Seven batters received free tickets to first off his delivery. He allowed five hits, four of these coming off the bat of Richmond, who connected for a triple, double, and two singles. SPEED BOYS AB R H E Phillip^2b 4 1 0 0 L.

Mutschler Bros, continued their winning streak by defeating the Vitreous in the night-cap of Saturday's double-header. Hare was in rare form and shut out the Vitreous without a hit until the seventh •frame, when he let down and allowed them three hits andjjne run. He was given air-tight support outside of two flies which Richmond lost in the sun. Stutzman, who had pitched a great game against the Merchants on Tuesday night, was touched for five hits in the three innings that he' twirled. Kiefer relieved him in .the fourth and pitched good hall the rest of the game. The win puts Mutschler Bros, closer on the heels of the league’s leading sluggers from Ulines.
