latter would go where none of Mr..
Healy's contemporaries could get it,
In fact, so rarely was Healy hit

locals took kindly to his curves, and
he put in one of the busiest days he
has had this season.
Hulen went at him in the first in

crack Of the gong, and before Pepper

and hit the ball down to the middle
Of the diamond. Healy had walked
toward first base very unhappily,
and StTaItOn, more by good luck
than good management, beat the

Again he swung his stick. and this
time the sphere shot into the air and

teeth and threw his bat hard into
the sand.
