Easy for Ferguson
The visitors started real brash and for

settled down. Ferguson was not called
upon to exert himself, all he had to do
was to let the ball be hit and the batter
was thereafter defunct. In the fourth in

hits, but Flournoy threw Clingman out at
the plate and that period went to swell the

center and purloined second and Fergu-
