the championship. The moisture had not
all been squeezed out of the ground. but the
players did not find it necessary to hold
their breath until they came to the surface
when sliding for base.
Everything that went in the direction OF
left field fell into McCarty's hands yester-
day. 1t made no difference which side ~as
at bat McCarly was there just the same.
for there was two of him. The local COM
bination concluded that some sort OF
hoodoo was needed, and the other McCarty
came along just In time. 50 he was staked
out in the left field to alternate with the
original, and VIII lie his qualities as hoo

himself all the way from center field to the
bleachers behind third base, and sur

until the batters from the Hub gave the
