Browne. the south paw, is the. same
Browne who struck such terror to oppos-

good left oe, and he is just as good with
his left arm and should be able to worry
any college team. Fowler starred in center
field and made two or three hard running
catches. Until the seventh inning the
score stood 2 to 1 in favor Of the profess
sionals but the seventh saw the downfall
Of the collegians, for the pros lit on
Browne for four hits which. coupled with
base on balls. two errors and two stolen
bases, did the business.
Hall showed them no mercy while he
was in the game. but sent in his entire
repertory of benders and crossfires. to the
utter dismAy of the lads from the south
striking out seven Of them.
Bellevue's score came from overeager-
