 Over on the bleachers there were almost incessant explosions of long, loud roars, as brilliant play after bril- liant play succeeded one another, out in the sva d energs %rs e to put msn sa oas aa1qs crowd.

It was in the third in- ping Perry had had dumped snd punt in to - first. when Archer dashed in and picked up the bunt, firing 1t to Fox. The throw was wide and Fox had to reach ae bag about the time the ball reached there, and going like q cycloAe.

The unfortunate affair was purely accidental. and no one regretted It more than Perry Eyers went to first, but later went behind the bat, while Archer covered the initial bag.

 In the last game, Malarky pitched
