 Of the two hits made off Hale one was in the first and the other in the second inning. not even a scratch be- ing made off him in the seven innings following. He fielded his position splendidly, having. four assists, while scoring the run in the seventh. He was a little wild at times. This being enhanced by Red Ehret's fierce decis- ions on balls and strikes. A base on inning resulted in the solitary score made by Birmingham. His other four bases on balls were not costly and he was very steady with men on bases, striking out four men. some of them in pinches.
