AND WALLOP BEARCATS

Cooper's Steady Hurling
ancl Wildcats' Heavy Hitting Wins The Game
SCORE IS 8 TO 2
rrhe .Wildcats played 'bail In big lea
gue style at Cincinnati Saturday on
Carson Field and had no trouble in
trouncing the Bearcats by the score
8 to 2. Coach Gill sent in Cooper, his
hurling ace in the attempt to break up
the losing strak of six games and stop
the Bearcats who have been going at
a fast gait. Cooper Justified the ascer-tio- n
that he is a hot weather pitcher
and worked in great style, setting the
Bearcats down in fast order with only
five hits, only two of which were clean.
Coach Chambers nominated Roth, who
shut out the Wildcats In Lexington
with one hit, for his hurling selection
but the Cats were in a hitting mood
and drove Roth from the mound in less
than three innings and pounded Sam
my Sefltz, star Bearcat hurler, unmer
cifully, for a total of 18 hits, including
three homers and two triples.
In the field the boys played by far
their best game of the season, erring
only on hard chances and making some
great stops and chances. Beam robbed Coons of an extra bjase hit In the
sixth when he made a great stop of his
hard liner. Brown (took all kinds of
Propps, Slom-e- r
hard throws at flrst-an- d
and Muth played sterling ball in
the infield.
According to the ground rules a ball
in the left field bleachers was a home
run. The Cincinnati boys have hit a
dozen up there this year and Coach
Chambers figured it would be easy for
them as our boys hit weakly against
Roth down here.
Propps started the game with a
slashing triple to center but was out
at home on perfect throws by Irwin
and Ooons ito Sharpe. Our boys scor-'etwo in the third for the Ice breaker
on Grtegg's single, Jones' sacrifice and
sucoessive dingles by Propps, Brown
and Beam, Gregg and Propps scoring.
Another was njde in the sixth on
Muth's single, a pass to Cooper and
Jones' timely blow to center.
When Brown came to the bat In the
Beventh he hit the first ball pitched for
a Kong foul that Just missed the bleachers for a home rum Brockman ran
