by the exhibition of slugging power
on the part Of the home team in the last
inning. Custer this time presented a new
pitcher, the one who had pitched against
keogh the day before. but our boys had
their batting clothes on. and made even

the scramble that ensued. Dunnigan

in to break up the batting streak that
our boys had developed. but the job

base occupied by Holt; it is no doubt
