particularly one so handicapped as the
Lotus aggregation is when it plays here.
In the first inning, Coughlin was hit in
the cheek by swift inshoot. He tried
to escape, but couldn't, and lay bleeding
on the field for fully five minutes before
he was helped to the dressing room,
where il was necessary to take three
