Ing, and he puts up just as strong oattle az Ss
Noodle" alias W. H. Watkins Esq. When
1t comes to springing surprises and pulling games
out of the fire, the other managers have to
back off to the coaching line and take OF
their hats to the wise old owl on the bench

fine single and oyler scored. Jones singled and
Sullivan flew out, ending the inning with the
score tied.

order the millers went after the NUTS In the
tenth and skinned them alive.
