in fielding and base running.
Features of the game were Hanson's
three strike-outs in the fourth, and
fielding catches by Edwards and
Leighty.
There was nothing in the first two
frames. In the first of the third the
Forkers got an earned run when
Leighty's single was followed by Otis
for two sacks. Fargo got two hits in
each the second and the third but
couldn't get man across.
In the fourth the Brownies" added
pair of scores. Wilson singled and
