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.
