Mickey logged along | to first base where Ed Slater stood laughing but Mickey slowly logged to the base and then logged Skaters atten- l tion to remind him of the fact that the long first baseman for Holyoke was not anywhere near the first bag. | Slater saw that he had made a blun- l der and started to make a kick but the umpire decided Delaney safe at first. | HI. the 1n0huLlul0 perry udu LIOLLcu home and then another wrangle start ed.
