cp,shcd himself by holding down the
yIs,tors to six hits, OF which one would
NOT have been safe had It been made by
a .lowcr man on the lines than Harry
prItchard. In Ave Of the nine innings

"S;riEe." was Mr.. McCounaughey's
comment. -
What's that?" calculated the De-
tr0!t boy. Mr.. Accommodates Sphinx
like c0untenance was lmpasstve and
unsympathetIc. Gallagher mad
and allowed people 10 seeNit when he
threw his bat In the air and allowed
Derrick to send In a strike on him. Then
he got down to business and gave the
next bali mighty swipe. Up II went,
