HITS WINS
IN    THE GAME
THIRD
Martin's Great Hitting and Fielding Largely Responsible — Tw6 Home R.jns Figure Largely — Johnson Pitches Well.
In   the   little     world   setics,.,  of   the Montgomery    County    league  between Anibler  and   Perkasie,   the   flrst  game, last Saturday on  Knight Held, went to Ambler   by   the   score   of   7   to   4   and when the baseball pages of history are turned  by   the  future  generation  they will read with miiny thrills of the won- i derful   achievements   of   a   home   boy, Ralph   Martin,   whovjjroved   himself   a star in  the victory.    In the third inn- '¦ ing the great Houck,  who was on the ' rubber  tor Perkasie, after  a   consulta¬ tion   with   his   teammates,   decided   to pass Doyle to get at Martin, who was considered  easy  for  the  stiir  slabman of   the   up-country   team.     The   pass¬ ing  of Doyle put two runners on the bases, as Barfoot had singled previous- i ly.     The   tirst   delivery   by   Houch   to I Martin  was  a  ball,  and  then  with  all ¦ his  strength   the  big  pitcher  sent  the ball   plateward.     Martin     swung,     and ' when   ball   und   bat   met   thero   was ya , crash that could be heard ^.ill over the ; park.     The   great  crowd   rose   as  one j and    watched    the    ball    as    It    dls- ¦ appeared   over   the   fence.     The   scene I that   followed   is   diflicult   to   describe, I and   as   Martin   crossed   the   plate   he jw-as picked up and carried to the play- j ers'   bench.     Hardly  had   the  funs  be- I came   seated   fr(mi   this   exciting   mor 1 ment   thun   they   were   given   another I thrill.    Tydeman   tollowed  Maitin,  and ( he   is   .also     known   to   the     Perkasie pitcher as a dangerous hitter, and he ' was  the  second  man  of  the  inning  to ! be     purposely     passed   to   flrst.     This ; time   Houch   thought   he   saw   an   easy I mark   in    "Kid"   Wilson,   tbe   greatest i little   short   stop   in    the   league,   but i once more the big pitcher's dope went I WTong   and   the   tans   had   the   second thrill of seeing the ball disappear over I the   lett   fence,   and   again    the   fana ruahed on the fleld and carried  Wilson to the bench.
It was a great game and attended by the  biggest  crowd  that  has
second on Johnson's drive to Chap¬ man. Dnylc set the crowd yelling again when he crashed the ball against j the centre tteld fence tor three buses, scoiing Johnson. M.irtin scored Doyle a moment later when he hit a slow roller to .Sellers. This was all' fur Am¬ bler, although Tydeman also put the ball against the left centre field fence for three bases in the eighth, but was out at the plate when Wilson hit to Chupman. Yeakel paved the way for Perkusie's Ia.st run, when he also hit to the centre field fence for three bases, und scored on Hart's sacriflce Ily to right. This was another won¬ dertul catch, and in order to get tho ball he had to back uguinst the fence. This was not all that Murtin did either. In the ninth when Peikasle becunie dangerous again he m.ade two more of the most spectaculnr cntches sotn  here  this  season.
It Is now on to Perkasie next Sat¬ urd.iy. Cline will pitch, and Manager Yost hopes to bring home the second victory and the pennant. Following is  the  score :
