might mean a game won or lost the batters and runners tried every craft at their command to add another score The battery and fielders however were just aa alert and pulled unusual plays that left runners stranded on third and second With the scoreboard reading 2 to for the visitors It looked as If Evansville was going to store the game away for keeps In the fifth With only one down the Evae filled tho bases on a single by Hauger free transportation for Punch and infield hit At this point Interruptions by the Benders In order to give Willis a rest near ly drove the fans frantic The reas one for the interruptions were very plain but the umpa allowed It to con tinue for several minutes despite the protests of the Evas With two strikes and two balls on Daubert the next batter up the shortstop popped out to Allen and then all the fond hopes of the fans were vanished by Altermatt striking out leav ing the three runners stranded Three Pitchers Used Turner Kernaghan and Covington were sent to the mound by Punch Knoll to hold the Benders down Tuck struck out the first two men that faced him but failed to show bis usual form afterwards and was substituted by Ker naghan in the
