he nailed one, about a foot from the

quandary, as the lntield was also play

the latter part of the game, when a
very swift grounder was tearing across
the center of the diamond; Mills,
however, made his feet go some and
then literally slid headlong for the

to throw the runner out on first, how
ever.
