In the two innings which followed neither
club got a man across the plate, although 5eY-
oral were lett on the bases. Both pitchers
we're hit freely, and there were plenty Of 0p-
portunties for good fielding plays.
The clubs are very evenly matched. the al-
vantage, however. being with Winston. prob
ABLY resulting from more continued practice
