control and seemed to have every
thing. There was just enough hitting
to permit sharp fielding and Burg's

many balls from the ground which
saved the infielder's errors The peg
ging to second by both catchers was
also good.

steal second cost a run, for Pierce
pegged beautifully and caught Grod

the longest hit of the game, sending
liner which passed over Collin &
| head and caught the Athletic field
fence high on the first bounce. Had
the ball been to right he would have
made home run with care. Reichle
hit to third and Burg made sensa
