with Parkins and despite the fact thu;
Blondy assured Pa that he was all

several doctors TO take him to the hos
lpital. The Davenport manager looked
Iaround to ses who he could call upor
as a sacrifice. but none of the pitchers
were on the bench, as they had all
hidden. The boss finally located Hin
Irichsen who was out under the grand
stand where he thought no one would
see him. and he was dragged in by the
hair and ordered to stop the run get
