the opener. Romano could not hit
the plate with handful of buckshot,
and when he did. the home guards
raped him so before the close or the
second inning. he was chased to the
bench and II. Hay was substituted. The
six and one-third innings Harry work

him, but his putrid support allowed
three Quaker runs to filter in. In the
