lost. Before another handful of spec |

them more than to have seen the |
home team win, but this agreeable /
surprise never came, and so it is
necessary to record another defeat |

the most disastrous that has ever
been recorded in the baseball history |
of Davenport. Never before has
team stood so low in percentage
