 After this it was a case of not Pret- gel reaching second until the seventh. when Durrett opened with a single to right field. lansing followed with a neat sac Delehanty was sent to first on four bad balls. Clark singled through Rohe so sharply that 1t looked like a pea, while Durrett rushed across the plate with the only run of the Pretzel outfit. It was a lucky hit and a lucky run.
