asm. The manager had two balls called
on him and then fouled two III a row. A
third ball was called and the "roOters'' be-
gan to think a run would be forced in.
Twice more did he foul back of the catcher,
but the next foul King caught by running
into the crowd.
Then Frank Isbell stepped to the plate.
'Izzy' had famed his previous two times
at bat and the SOX ''rooters" thought sure

into the crowd on foul territory after land
ing fair it goes for but two bags.
Donohue tried hard to score Robe. but
the best he could do to pop one to
Tinker. That ended the scoring.
Walsh was cool as the proverbal Gu
cumber all through the contest. but the
same cannot be said of Pfeister. for as
soon a hit was made off him he showed
signs of going up" and several times
Chance ran in from first to whisper to him
