easy on the last four games played, each
team winning two. The game was replete
with fast plays, although 1t was something
of pitchers battle between Sudhoff and
Hughes. The former had somewhat the bet
ter of the argument. as he placed victory
to his credit and allowed but five hits, but
the latter pitcher very effectively with run

legs died on the bases waiting for the hit
that would have brought them home.
