agility of hippopotamus, had to make
one Of his sucker plays at a critical
moment, and so lost the locals what look
in they had. Brashear was standing safe

his wonderful slide home. 1t appeared
that Esola thought he had touched Cra-
vath, and the Boodler catcher stood
Brashear took 1t into his peculiar cod
fish skull to make a sensational steal
