So Archie Persons was tho hero Of

appreciated. He shared the lime.light
however with a person name o. Steele,

Iowa league, whose steady work kept
the Snappers from scoring except one

That one wasn't due the Snapper

his error. Jack went TO third on
Henline's inneld out, and House
Knocked a slow one to Kensel, which
was flelded for close decision, and
Fleming let Corbett score, giving
Kensel an error, which wasn't his.
