 Looked like a no-hit game until Messrs Speaker, Page and Eastman had to butt in in the eighth round.
 The base running was a feature couple of double steals. one of them registering.
 Steve Reagan evidently had an old feud to settle with the Little Rock pitchers
 It was team work that counted yes terday.
 The team is putting up fast game now and they deserve better atten- dance sh an thoy are getting.
 Last game with Little Rock today. Juul will probably work and with good hart roofing the score will come the right way.
