pitched well enough to have won an or
binary game, allowing the home team
only seven hits, but luck was against the
handsome twirler and he was beaten

Guirk should have gotten, but he
made no effort to get the ball, which
rolled into the crowd back of first base

scored on what should have been an out
The backstoping OF Hurley and Hess
was excellent, and their throwing to
bases was good, Hurley having little
the advantage.
