Klopfs legs and Bottemus and Doherty
scored. Purvis was caught trying TO
make second.
The Hartfords went out in order. in the
second.
In the third Murphy was thrown out at
first. Childs was given his base, and Ca
velle struck out. Bottemus singled and
stole. On Dohertys hit Klopf made his
third error and Chids and Bottemus
scored Purvis was the third out, dying
at first. Vigneux caught two fouls in
the fourth. and the third man was
thrown out
