have been much larger. Springfield

first on terrific drive through Cobb
and reached second on Dauphinais'
sacrifice, but he did not get any
farther, as Collins struck out o 'Leary,

game, having fine control. Two of
Springfield's four hits were made by

snappy game, and when the hits were
most needed they were produced in
rapid succession, accompanied by sharp
base running. The first score was
made in the fourth. Brooks hit a
grounder to short and was out at first.

with drive to middle. Smith made
fine bunt towards third and beat it
out. Francis followed with a safe
hit to middle, scoring Collins and
Smith. Cobb then swiped the ball
towards right middle which looked so
much like a safe one that Francis
started for third. but Weston managed
to just reach it and hold it, and made
it double by throwing Francis out
at second. Brooks kept the onslaught
