Lajoie did not score a hit off Whalen.
In The sixth Whalen hit him. possibly by

at once in evidence. NOrdyke sent the
ball down the left field line for Single.

La joe was the next man up. As any

best the mighty batsman could do was
a little hit to Whalen, who threw him
out at first.
In the fourth Schwartz hit one appar-

like two-bagger. Pabst flew and Krug
