all the way through, although the odds
(What few there Were) seemed to FAVOR
the wearcrs Of the green for the great

three or four hits being made off his
delivery. He retired the last two In
nings in favor of Irish, although there
was no reason for his doing so other

steady game, although they got some
hits off him. His team got out of tn"

90 for their money, EVEN unto the end

1art of the game and kept it up to tn"
latter stages of the game. and thought
they were. in good luck al right. But
Gardiner put enough Of the essentials
in their grips ut about this time" as
