We were crippled by the absence of
Gettman from centre and Louder from
the path between second and third,
but Manager Wolverton put on his
thinking cap. Meyers was pulled over
to centre and Johnny Flaters went into
right. Kid Mueller showed at short.

What is pretty close to a record was
made by Rochester. The team had
~twentv-one assists to it's credit; not a

credited. They made ten hits and two
errors. and we made only four hits, but
no misplays, yet we got two runs and
they only got one. Seems funny, but
it's the truth. The fact that only two
