dropped a fv bail and Wstzel made a
wild throw that netted Hazletou three
runs with the assistance of a base on
balls and a single. An error Of West
lakes and two base hit by Clark en-
abieG Hazleton to tie the score IN the
ninth. but iu the tenth the home team,
thanks to the steady. persever!ng worl;
of Flanaghan, pulled itself together
and won the gam-. twas in reality d
Flanaghan victory.
