With a tie score in the eighth they put on a twq run rally to go into the lead. Then Carl opened up in the ninth and struck out the last Carl had a fine day on the mound striking out ten batters. Again we give Bob Schulz £ heap of credit for coming through in a pinch. He cam^ to bat in the eighth with two men on and drove a hit out into deep left center, driving in the winning runs. Boy, did he smack that pill! I guess Bobby was a little sore for a few strike-outs he had changed against him. Again we say, "nice going, Bob." we think ^you ought to get sore more often. That hit, by the way, was a triple. Anybody who saw Sunday's game will absolutely agree with me in saying that Bill Funk is a real ball player. He came through with a nice twobagger in the seventh driving in the tieing runs. Then to cop it off he did a wonderful job of fielding there lit third base. As a whole the team played a peach of a game. They came up from behind and played some real ball. The opponent, Forest Park, has a good record behind them. They have only provided all the fireworks for Johnsburg. Lay had three hits while Dan Schmitt and Howie Freund, star shortstop, had two apiece. John Sanders pitched well, but the Shamrocks bunched their hits which, along with Colt errors, proved his downfall. Johnny struck out nine Shamrocks and gave up four walks. Jehmbarg CoHa-- AB H.
