Moss acquitted himself very credit
ably. His was the only error that cost u

acres of territory and succeeded in
making use of those tricks of the trade
which prevent runners from getting
past second on badly thrown balls. He
did it twice and his work in that respect
was quite refreshing and of itself earned
him his days salary.
