The powerful Textile nine, behind the inspired pitching of Nicolas and Romera, had no trouble in hitting three Lincoln pitchers for a total of eight hits. Lincoln collected only three scattered hits, but as they came out at times when the bases were vacant, they went for nought. Lincoln 11-Henry Snyder 2 Behind the effective pitching of Charlie Achong the Big Blue batters hit their stride and walloped the offering of Lefty Cocoa over the lot for eleven hits and a sum of eleven runs while Lincoln limited the Snyder bat' ters to two hits, striking out 13. The victory restored the confidence of the team after a shaky firstfgame start.
