fessionals. They batted well and freely, but
failed to bunch their hits. The Metropolitans
also batted hard and to good purpose. Nelson
and Peltz each had three hits, and carried off the
batting honors The game was called IN the
eight inning, when the Nets had three men on
bases and only one out, it being too dark to con
