bing in the early innings and was forced tc
retire before the heavy bombardment OF
the Pirates. He was replaced by Sudhofs

Willie was unable to stay the tide OF de-

into a smuggling match Of the first water.
But Clarke wisely retired the x-Giant in
the third inning and replaced him with
Phillip. The latter delivered the goods in
such style that the Cardinals were unable

batters OF the Donovanites will make life
a hard one for the inlielder who will be
chosen to fill Tommy's shoes.
