three put-outs and one assist is not much
in itself, but the respect shown by the
Phillies for Nichols's throwing was worth
dozen assists. But one visitor attempted
To steal u base, and he was caught ten
feet away from his destination.

OF ten games of baseball. The way they
slaughtered Mr. Whites benders in the first
