6--August 1,1928 Modesto News-Herald 0 Justine Athletes Defeat Modesto Merchants, 3 To Ole Cleland Raps Out Hits To Beat Locals Makes Mark Ememon Spencer of Ceres ran in great shape In the 1600-meter relay race at Amsterdam in ttrt Olympic games. He ran a fact lap in the event and gave his teammate a five- yard lead. Short Second-Saoker Of West Side Again Proves Nemesis Ofi Home Guard, Driving In All Of The Buns Made For His Teammates By GORDON McCBEADY QLH again proved the nemesis of the ModesTM Merchants. Tie short little second sacker pounded out two hits when they were needed and drove in all the runs that enabled the Gustine Athletics to defeat the Modesto Merchants 3 to 2 here Sunday afternoon. Cleland came to bat itt the sixth Inning with two out, after Ettinger had singled and hit a double away hack the left-hand corner of Davis Park, and Ettinger scampered across for the first dent tha West Eiders made on the platter.

Again in the eighth, inning, with Bradley and Ettinger on base, Cleland socked the ball into left, scoring Ettiager. Brown, the new Merchant fielder, attempted to cut Bradley down at third and threw tha ball into the candy store, allowing Bradley to score. Ha otherwise have been held at third and the game might have remained a tie. Hero Before Ole was tha hero of a same be tween two teams here last April, when he singled in the fourteenth i i to score two runs clinch a 4 to 2 victory for the West Siders. Both Elzea and Felker were working hard In the early Innings and nobody cama anywhere near scoring any runs until the fifth, when tie home guard crashed over witli a marker.

Bell walked and was sacrificed to second by Davis. Hoy Kuhn then got his second hit of the day, an mfield tap, to shove Bell across the rubber. The Merchants started a rally in their of' the eighth which netted a run. Peck led with a single to right, followed by Hondo's single to left which brought him to second. Strader then laid down hunt to push him on to third.

Massera hit one at Felker, and was thrown out at first, and Peek scored when Gagen dropped the relay from Bradley. Become Excited A- near riot occurred In the fourth intirntr T-von of the Athletics protested a decision on Ole Cleland at ond base. Tommy Hemmlnger called Cleland out on a play which could have been either way, Hooper threatened to take his team from the field. He made such a lass about that Oscar BuleUi was rut in to umpire bases. Oscar had trouble with lha Athletic man' ager in the sixth inning whea Strader hit a low tly to Ettinger in right field.

Ettinger tell in mailing the catch and came up with, the ball, and Hooper, thinking Buletti had ruled Strader safe and that the ball had been caught on. the pickup, came storming out of the dugout and he and Strader had an argument required the implies and players to stop. Othar arguments over the right of pitcher Felker to use his spitball and the playing of Ray Petit in a uniform of the old-time Peppers wasted several minutes much to the disgust of the fans and navsr got anybody anywhere by It. Kuhn, Modesto catcher, and Cleland, Gustine second baseman, were the hitting stais of the afternoon. Each nit a double and singles out of four times at bat.

Val Pickering had a busy day nt first base, getting fifteen put- uots. Bradley was a close second at the same position for Gustine with thirteen. "Red" Strader was exceptionally busy at third base. Nine assists came his way during the afternoon and he handled them all faultlessly although Art RoMe helped him a In) in thr fourth inning after "Red" had sunted the ball in his diiection of fid Cleland's hopper. FelUer handled eight assists and EUea handled six.

R. L. Parkinson, athletic coach at Modesto High School, was in uniform for a work-out and coached on the sidelines during the game. Alva G'PCTI, former Modesto boy for Stockton in the State League, aiso warmed up. The hrrc OUSTING ATHLETICS Alnlcspino, 3h It.
