t his work from the standpoint % inside

which Bender manifested for the sig

Chief would pitch the ball
That he had the correct dope was
evidenced by the fact that the Tigers
hits were few and far between, while
no less than eight OF them persisted on
strikes.

The head-shaking occurred, accord

first five innings, though Herman's es;
innate was probably a bit liberal. as
his vpcfferatieH TO that effect occurred
after Thomas had twitted him on MS
second strike-out of the combat.
Schaefer didn't want 10 see Thomas
claiming the credit for his confusion
and therefore called attention to the
fact that Bender was running things
himself.
