Dorsctt did likewise, but was unthought-
full enough to run off first on Baird's fly,
which was accepted by Sawyer without
30 days notice and put to Nichols by
which the first double was made. Adams
went down on four balls, but Chandlev
threw to McLoud in time to catch
Clarke and his check was protested as
the side retired.
The idea of a double play dampcncd
the Bachelors spirits, but they went to
the field grim and determined. and the
men went upto WELD the broom
stick. Nichols, whose IN" on his shirt
front was an inverted "W" used in the

what a man got for pretending to be a

form ready and went to press on foul
balls, but had it "picd' at third from

loud over the sound of the hits. Som
of his decisions caused the Bcncdicts t
declare he was a Spartanburg umpire
but they went. Moore began the riot b
