who put Brosman out at third. Higgins
came in on Dooly's big hit to centre field,
which was too far for Sixsmith to reach,
and McGrath was thrown out on first by
Zecher's stop. During tho next three
iunings neither nine scored and the fielding
of both was excellent. Carmichael opened
the fifth inning and reached first on

long run. Hyman and Oldfield started
the heavy batting and both sent big safe
balls 70 the field. Schiller fol-
lowed with third and brought
