the home players but there was norhing
doing. tho glove OF the home players
seeming to yawn for the iys that rose.
Mjllisan was superb in the box and
famed IL men during the 10 innings
played. This pitcher has had several
overtime games on his hands of late and
has won the majofity OF them. 1t seemed
to be his delight to get men on bases only
20 have the side die out on account OF his

four doubles but with the support given
him there was nothing else on but a win.

visitors got together and by punching two
singles and two two-baggers tied the
score. The tie was OF short duration.
