jenkins went on the firing line for
the Publishers. He soon developed
that tired feeling. There was no speed
to his straight ones and no curve to
his twisters. Furthermore. he seemed
TO imagine that the plate was never in
the same place on two consecutive
balls. 1t was said after the game that
Beasley lacked practice. Those who
watched the combat commented in such

Calm, behind the bat, caught some
wild pitches. and to show his versatil-
