first when Townsend got the ball.
He was at once nipped when he tried
to steal.
In the seventh the other two hits
came and their makers scored. Cap
tain Burt bffed over Kihm and Bo-
hannon cut a beauty to left. The
ball struck lump of sod and bound

the result. Jim hurried the ball back
and held Burt at third.
Shortly these i1inors registered.
