corker. When that inning dawned the Sox
were going easy. 3 to 0. and. Jake's people
seemingly were dead to the world, as they
couldn't hit harder than a mosquito polk

had made sundry safeties. but of what

How Washington acquired the three runs
that fell TO its share has already been
depicted. The visitors chopped away at
Patterson all through the game. but the
eighth inning was the only spasm in which
they managed to bunch their hits. Their
efforts were earnest. but fruitless, like
those of the near-sighted man who took
well behind Patterson barring that wide
throw by Sully. and made many stops that
brought cheers from the crowd and tears
from Stahl.
