ciphers except in the final, and Suggs and
companions quickly disposed of that
chance. The score was to o.
Suggs was the magnet around which
the locals revolved. Players and pitchers
worked together like they understood
each other. Suggs started off by striking
out Hafford, Miller and Hennessy, the
first three to face him. He kept up the
good work finishing with five hits chalked
against him, one of which was an infield
miscue that fell half way between pitcher
and catcher. Only in the seventh inning
were the visitors able to pluck two in a
row off Suggs. and then Barons Vaughan
and w. Clark, who performed the feat
