XOCAL BANKERS DEFKAT DALLAS
TEAM BY THE SCORE OF
SIXTEEN TO FIVE
OFF DAY FOR VISITORS
Dallas Could Not Score Until The
Eighth Inning ami Tallies no to
Loss of Interest By Tito
Homo Team
The ball game Saturday afternoon
at West End Park between the Abi-
lene bank team and the American Ex-
change National Bank of DallaB re-
sulted in a victory for the locals by a
score of 10 to 5.
The game for convenience we will
call It a game but apologetically
was only a half of a game Just a
one-sided affair from start to finish.
Keebles bankers played like leaguers
until ' the eighth Inning up to which ;
time the visitors had not succeeded In
getting one straight mark on the score
uoar'dV. At this point of the game a
spell of inertia came over the locals
and to this may be attributed the five
scores secured by the visiting team.
The members of the Dallas team are
gentlemen of the highest order and
accepted their defpat good naturedly.
They also have Borne good ball players
and had it not been for the fact that
Saturday proved an off day for them;
that they got off on the wrong leg in
the beginning and were unable to re-
gain their ball playing equilibrium
the box score would have looked dif-
ferent and the game would have been
much more interesting. But never-
theless the Abilene bankers would
have showed up ahead in the score
column for they were in a ball play-
ing humor and to liave defeated them
Saturday afternoon with an amateur
aggregation would have been the next
thing to an impossibility.
Adams on first Faucett on third
and Pender on short put up a fast
and faultless game and January "be-
hind the stick came up to every ex-
pectation and much was expected of
him. Scarborough pitched the great
est game of his ilaseball career and
had his support not lost Interest in
the last two Innings he would have
"had to his credit a shut-out game.
Gannon for the visitors playing
the short field was at all times in the"
game anid if his team' mates had
kept the. ginger that was shown by him
the result might have read different.
The visitors falling to bunch .their
lilts and making critical errors when
team' playing was most needed gave
the Abilene bankers a. lead that could
not b;e. -AVer come. Scarborough 'at
all times hifirfiis game well in hand
iceeping the hits well scattered and
with major league support fcehiny
him it seemed impossible for the Dal-
las aggregation to have a look in for
a victory.
' This is the way the game was Won:
