MERCHANTS DEFEAT FORT WAYNE TEAM

Vanette Wins Close Game By 3 To O Score The Syracuse Merchants baseball team came through with a win last Sunday by a very close margin of 3 to 0 ever the Fort Wayne Printing Company. Here wa§ another thriller from start to finish, being a veritable pitchers battle throughout, with very few errors during the game. Bob Vanette, with the assistance of Hite, pitched a swell game by going the full route of nine innings, allowing only two hits, three bases on balls and three runs while he gained eleven strike outs. His team got behind him by collecting six hits and bringing in two runs in the 3rd and one in the 6th to win the ball game. Watson and Long were batteries for the visitors, allowing HHs, two bases on balls and gaining four strike-outs. Both teams played well during the entire game, the Merchants committing only one error and the Printers, two. Hits were scattered for both sides, making this a tough game for the pitchers who were forced to “bear down” with the coming of every frame. The local boy s proved that they can win by gaining this second victory over the Printers, whern they defeated two weeks ago by a larger score. Os course, the visitors were out for revenge and Pushed the Merchants from ; the start. The~Goshen Gliders play here next Sunday and from all have a good team of players who really know their baseball and who are always out to give a nice exhibition. Manager Byland states that Syracuse fans will be sure to see a good game and hopes that a large number will be present. There is no admission charged at these games, but a free will offering i s asked at each game in order to meet expenses and to make the team self-supporting without demanding financial aid rom\the businessmen of the town. Let’s give them our support next Sunday, MILO LONG WILL ANSWER CHECK CHARGE AGAINST SYRACUSE BUSINESS FIRM f Charges against Milo M.
