ball. The next man UP for St. Louis was
Heidrick. and a foul fly from his BAT forced
Dexter to run into the left bleacher fence
in order to get II.
In the fifth inning Heidrick received un-

running catch OF Doyle's fly. which. had II
got away, would certainly have been good
for three bases, besides sending Dexter over
the plate.
