field game, was bothering him and would neces-
state his staying out of the contest today.
Graham had to ofhciate at third and he had
trouble gaging the throw across to first. He
kept Freeman busy and erred once on this and
another time Eihn's rather hard grounder to

throw to second to catch Kthm stealing and the
other when Davy Jones made hard run to get
