SAPPERS TAKE 5-3 DECISION IN FRIENDLY BASEBALL MATCH Canucks Beaten In Pre-Season Fixture
BATTING HONOURS FOR TOMMY TOMASHEVSKY
By "Grandstand”
ROYAL ENGINEERS triumphed over the Cana- dians 5-3 in a friendly pre-season baseball tilt at Caroline Hill last Saturday. It was a close game, featured by Engineer hurler Sarsfield's fine debut on the hill. Working for seven frames, Sarsfield whiffed one, passed four and scattered five hits, whilst "Wild Bill" Smith for the losers fanned four, walked six and doled out two safeties.
Canadians lost the toss and went in to bat first. Johnnie Fisher rapped out a stinging two-bagger and burgled the payoff station to chalk up the first counter for the Canucks.
Gas Oliver drew a pass on the gravy train and pilfered second, but the scoring threat was snuffed with a brilliant double killing, when centre-fielder Ratcliffe clamped his hands on Bakar's towering fly, and relayed to second to erase Oliver, who had started for the home-plate with the crack of the bat.
