Both pitchers gave a good account of themselves as far as strikeouts were concerned, Kruse showed nine men the last strike, while Johnson of Wheaton turned back six of his op- ponents by the third strike route. In the hitting.r department, Wagner, Adamec, Dunne, and Russek provided the punch for the Techawks. Wagner hammered out three safeties, to lead in hits, while Adamec contributed two belts over the center iieldcr‘s head and out through the fence for triples. Dunne and Russck also contributed two hits apiece. Wheaton led oil" in the first inning with two hits. but some fast work on the part of the fieldcrs nullified both of them, and no runs scored.
