LA PORT Ii HIGH SCHOOL REVIEW. 19 fielder froze on to it, and LaPorte’s hopes were again blighted. In the sixth. “Smiling Fit ” scored because the second baseman was too busy watching the smile and miss- ed a throw from the first baseman. That was all until the fatal eighth. A couple of hits just over the infield by Ply- mouth and an error by LaPorte allowed the Plymouth team to score three times again. In the ninth inning LaPorte let the balloon go up for a few minutes, but was not able to keep it there. Krctjci was safe on first and Peglow waited for four bad ones and got free transportation to the first station. A. Link displayed his “grafting powers” by nab- bing on to a pretty one that came across the plate and put it safe over the infield. “All Right Kiddow” scored and “De- mentia Baseballia” slid safely to third. “Chic” Martin, not- ed for his wise sayings, thought he’d make his reputation now. and scored the LaPorte captain from third and sent Link to third. Right at this point of the game ‘Chic” show- ed the girls how to lead another fellow a merry chase. The second baseman chased him back towards first and tagged him out. The “grafter on second displayed himself again by taking third and also home during “Chics” performance at first base. G. Martin was not as famous as his predeces- sor and went out by the first base route. The world-renown- ed Frankenstein was the last man to face the Plymouth southpaw llinger. Enie was the first man up. and getting the habit from Link also managed to be the last man up. But poor Enie was not equal to the task. The feminine faces on the first base line was more than he could stand, and he was an easy out for the first baseman, the short stop getting the assist. The final score was 6 to 4 in favor of Plvmouth. The LaPorte team lined up as follows: Frankenberger .. Brooks .......... Bohland ......... Kretjci ........ Peglow (captain) Link ............ F. Martin........ G. Martin ....... Fitzpatrick ..... ..Left field .Short stop . First base Second base .Third base Center field . Right field ... Catcher ... Pitcher
