 Maxwell was the next man td bat. and Mullaney-who had charge oA the team-sent McAlese to the plato in his place. Then there was a roar nom the crowd. McAlese was one of Ahe best pinch hitters in the league and he chances were that right at the end pf the game he would knock Wilhelm oAt of hls superb record. Yell after yes went up to let Maxwell bat, for by thu time every soul on the grounds wal pulling for Wilhelm to get away Withi his superb record. swinging hard at the ball hit an easy one to eAllcock at short. He shot the ball to big Meeks and the game was that will probably take some years to be equalled.
