great big fellow, who had donned the
mask when Manners was put out of the
game, was at the bat, lined out a ball

working in vain to knock the ball from
his hands and score. In the mix-up Atz

big fellow from Richmond completely lost

short distance away headed for the
bench and with all his force threw the
ball at him, striking him full in the
back. There was ruch from the players
