NINTH INNING RALLY DULLS EAGLE TALONS, GIVES FARMLAND WIN

- ! Staging a rally In the ninth Inning' that netted them three runs after the' Eagles had copped a two-run lead in' the Inning previous, the Farmland baseball team again trampled the fast flipping Eagles Sunday afternoon at;

Exhibition park by the score of 6 to 5. The game was delayed for an hour due to a wet diamonds, but after the start, fans witnessed one of the best, if not the best, played and one of the most hotly contested games of the season. So hotly contested was the game that all the fans remained in their beats until the final out was made. Bill Hartman. a local lad, did the hurling for the Farmland aggregation and hurled a very noteworthy game of ball. Kubby, the regular hurler, failed to put in his appearance and

Hartman was called upon to do the mound duty. Both teams kept plugging along until the fourth frame before a runner crossed the plate. Hartman Issued five hits during these Innings but only two were bunched. Hawekotte was working good, allowing no hits until the fourth when the visitors bunched two hits for one run, and repeated In the sixth frame. Another tally was added to the Farmland total in the seventh. Giving them a threerun lead. Threaten in Seventh. The Eagles came back in the seventh and threatened to score enough tallies to sew up the game but Hartman tightened up and some good support by his teammates cut them down with only one tally. The Eagles should have scored earlier in the game had they taken advantage of several misplays by the Farmland fielders. Hammers and McCabe both seemed to have an off day allowing several drives to go safely that they should have taken in nicely, and turned into outs. Both teams were handicapped by

the heavy diamond which made field

ing extremely difficult at times, especially around the keystone sack, where the field was a sea of mud. The bad condition of the diamond did not stop the pulling of several sensational plays by both teams. A fast double play In the fourth frame checked a threatening rally.

field that looked good for a safe hit, but McCabe after a hard run captured

the ball and caught Byrkett off second,

on a close play. M inner robbed Kess-

ler of a possible triple in the fifth

when he took in his long fly to right

, center over his shoulder for the final out. Rally Looks Good

The Eagles went to bat in their

turn in the eighth inning and 6taged a rally off Hartman (hat looked good for a winner. Hartman had been touched rather hard the inning previous and the onslaught was continued in the next frame. In this stanza the Eagles bunched seven hits off Hartman for four runs and the stands went wild for it looked almost a certain victory for the locals. The fatal inning proved to be the

ninth and last frame in which the vis

itors copped the game on some hard

sad timely hitting an an error by

Rpririirtehaim. Pammpra first. nn

Bingled over second and Hartman, af

ter fouling five pitched balls with the

count three and two on him singled

to right. Hammers going to third

Coates flied out to left for the first

out, bnt Kessler scored him with a long fly to center.' Jennings singled

to light, Hartman going to third and

scored when Reddinghaus let Hawe

kotte's throw get through him, Jennings going to second. Clark scored

him with the winning run by crackln a single to left.

The Eagles maeV a brave effort to

win the game in the last half of the

ninth and probably would have but for

some poor base running by H. Logan,

who led off with a single. Redding

naus was sale on Hammers error.

Logan and Reddinghaus attempted a double steal and Logan had third stolen but over-slid the base and after a heated argument was called out. Here Hartman applied the brakes and after issuing an intentional ras3 to Byrkett ended the game by fanning Long and Knight for the final outs with the tieing run on third. Next Sunday the Eagles will battle the Dayton Delcos at Exhibition park. The score: Farmland. AB. R. H.PO. A.E.

Br FRAWK C. MEtKE After all the evidence baa been sub

mitted, doesn't this seem to be the trouble with baseball:

Too much machine play. The vast bulk of fans insist that

they no longer get the old time "kick' oat of watching diamond combats. Ask them why and they'll tell you a dozen different reasons and conclude with : "But in addition there's some inexplicable something wrong, and doggone me if I know just what it is." Isn't it the lack of individual play? Player Worked Alone. Back in the era before the success of John McGraw and Connie Mack

lifted benca direction into certain

heights, the managers suggested, rather than dictated, plays affeld. As a re

sult, the player went up to plate to

worn out his own destiny. And with

nine men, each playing according to his own style nine separate brains

operating there was no sameness:

there was always much that was un

usual, unique, thrilling. But now how different!

Focus the optic upon a batter going to plate! What does he do? Look to

the manager for orders. He gets them

and proceeds to follow out those orders. If he gets on base, he looks to the manager, gets his orders and

executes them. The result is that nine men play as one brain dictates. And when nine men play the game as one, it takes from baseball the vital something that made the game a thrilling, wonderful spectacle. No Need For Brightness. With the present style of baseball In play it isn't necessary for a player to be brainy. For he isn't permitted to do his own thinking or acting. The only use he has for mentality on a till field is to grasp the managerial orders and execute them. Brains have become as necessary for a ball play on offensive play as elevators in submarines. They can't use 'em if tbey have 'em except for the purpose of grasping and executing orders. Before McGraw and Mack began to spear a flock of penants, individual play was vogue. The average manager never attempted to tule the player's every action. He gave them general Instructions and that earned his pay. The athlete then called his own brain, as well as his muscles into ac-

tion-r-and so It

play, all directed toward team work, was the rule of the game.. But when Mack and McGraw busted into the florified columns, everybody

wanted to know how they did It. Their style of leadership was explained to the world. And the eist of it was

that each, manager must do the thinking for his team; that Mack and McGraw absolutely dominated by bench direction the entire offensive and much of the defensive play of the nine men. Naturally, that influenced other managers not so successful, to assume that the Mackian-McGraw system was best. So they began to ape the two with the result that players no longer were permitted to think for themselves, became baseball manikins. What's the result? Individual play except by a favored few stars who will not permit managers to rob them of their greatest asset has become a tiling of the past. And likewise, the "kick" in the game the unexpected, the" usual, the real thrill that comes with a varied exhibition of individual brilliance or daring1 has gone from us.

OUT OF FIRST PLACE

IN DECISIVE WIN CINCINNATI, Sept 12. The Reds pulled the Pirates out of first place by beating them decisively, Sunday afternoon on Redland Field by the score of 4 to 1, while the Giants were stop

ped by the skill of Rube Marquard, and were saved from a shutout only

by a triple by Maranville and a sacrifice fly in the ninth inning. Hamilton

was hit freely and the Reds pulled

some stuff in the field, that stopped

them short, whenever they attempted a rally. The Rube was at his best, with fine control and the ability to keep the bingles well scattered. He fanned five of the Pirates and in only one round could they bunch two hits. Marquard was assisted in the most able manner by his infield. The work of Kolp and Groh was highly sensational. The Reds shortstop pulled three or four sensational plays on hard hit balls and Groh started a fast double play in the eighth with the bases full. The score: Cincinnati.
