From Hazelton |

Terrace and Hazelton are now

on even terms in’ the baseball

world as the result of the game

played on Saturday betweenthem: -
at Terrace. The home team had
bolstered up the weakest. spots =
since its defeat.in the first: ‘mame
and ‘presented an aggregation
strong enough to take the mea-
sure of the invaders by ascore:of
11-10. Some terribly loose play
by the visitors in the first two
frames spotted the opposition a
half-dozen runs, ‘while the home-
sters yielded but two, thanks to
airtight support in the outfield.
Benson, in the box: for Hazelton,
had an off day,and when ‘in the
third stanza the Terrace Jada
gathered some more markers, he ..
fave way to Gray, who subdued
the free-hitting proclivities .of
the Greenshirts sufficiently forthe
Tigers to find their: stride. In

the fourth inning the visitors

took a liking to Walberg's slants
and staged a rally, which contin-
ued to the sixth, when with one
out and one on. base, Hazelton
was still a run to the bad. Then ~
Wrinch: hoisted a” long: -fly to |

game was most interesting | at
