discover Bartos' curves. Plymat made
his fine play of the day by sending
the ball into a pile of new mown
hay and getting to third base. H.
Rabe famed out, and MeCollum sent
the ball to shortstop and failed to

ceeded with the game, after adjusting
a new mask. A foul that flew high
into the sky came down just outside
the ropes into the audience, and Ira
H. Shattuck distinguished himself by
catching it. Nutter's fouls were his
finish, for he fouled out into III. Rabies
