were unable to get round the circuit as

is accounted for BY the fact THAI though
the latter did not hit as often as their OPP
ponents they hit much harder and kept

errors by the Jersey Blues helped the
cause Of the W-ashingtons considerably,
while the latter played an errorless game.
They were quick and app and made

were playing. Kennedy, the first base
