Durfee I1 started to twirl for Prep and was re- j by Hay in the fourth after a j , consultation in left field. Hinea again . made good with a big "G", thirteen , going out via the Uinea-Shield fanning bee, and only one hit was secured from hia delivery. Shields worked in fault style back of the plate and his accurate throwing to second was a Preps only run was the result ] of an error. Black was the first to get an intro- ; duction to Hinea curves, but failed to meet the ball. Sproul and Stilee sent to left and right, respectively. For Oape May Shitlda got hit, and atole second. Bobbins out on an infield fly. Nichols sent out a Texas Shields scoring and Nichols ' going to second on the throw. Hughes ] to the front with a hit scoring Nichols. Little out fly to center.

Nothing , doing for Oape May^in their end. Prep got their only run in the fourth. lined one over third for a hit. went to second on a bad throw and took third on a sacrifice. Johnson ' raised a fly to Entriken. Two down. ' Allen then hit a high fly to center ' and some one yelled, "Take 'er Bill," aod there's where the mixup came in. , happened to be two "Bills" oc the job around the pear vicinity ( where the soaring ball would drop. "Bill No. One," xvas hanging out around short and' nod been cutting quite a swath since joining the team, and "Bill No. Two" bad been roam- ■ ing about in center for 86 innings 1 without having a chance to find out < what a res! live fly looked like i pair of "Bills" beard the call and made their get-a-way at the time. Then each noticing the "other Bill" emerging from the fog 1 hesitated and then started again and ( when nearly under the ball both ' stopped but "Bill No. Two" pushed out ' digits far enough to touch the ball ' which dropped between them. While this "after you" stunt was being enacted Sproul romped home with the tally. Allen then got gay and started for second but Shields nailed him with i quick throw. Score 2 to 1. 1 Only two more Prep players got on the circuit after that andlboth faile d heed the danger signal and were . thrown out by Shields. In the fifth Mecray fanned and then 1 ; batted left handed and got the . first hit off Hay. West attempted to . but hit a short fly to third. Hines had started to steal and was unable j to get back to first in time, completing the only double play of the game. Bobbins got on the circuit in the fixth by flamming a hot grounder to 1 center.
