That was a dead mans game be-

IN at the start and ate the Gold Bugs
up without trouble. 1t was too easy.
1t was such a soft thing for the
Saints that the people were aroused
into enthusiasm only once during the
day. The Gold Bugs put Petty in
to pitch, and Petty was so big and
tat and lazy that the Saints fell on
MS curves and murdered them for
doubles and singles till one couldn't
see. Petty was not alarmed. He
didn't care; neither did Capt Car
roll or any of the other Gold Bugs.
They didn't kick once during the
