too MUCH EVEN
FOR GREGG

For II innings over at Aberdeen,
while Gregg established a new
league strike-out record, the links
tinkered with the affairs of the In
dams and finally gave the game to
the Black Cats on score forced
in by Streib, who took q crack in
the back to get base. 1t would
have been all up with the Indians
by the end of the ninth inning had
it not been for Bobby James tall
sprinting around the bases at its
beginning, for just then the game
stood 10 in favor of the Black
Cats.
1t seemed as though the jinks
got tangled up in his reckoning
just about that fateful moment,
though, for James popped an easy
one over to Bower at third but
Bower heaved it something less
than three jumps over the first
baseman's head and James kept on
hoof1ng it to second. He went to
third on Connors' out at first and
beat the ball home after Burnett's
sky ripper to the right field. After
that it was simply goose eggs till
the last eleventh, when Streib
stuck his big broad back in the
way of one of Greggs hot ones
with the bases full.
Joe Gregg struck out 16 men
while Ovtiz, pitching for the Cats,
laid out but five. Gregg retired
Aberdeen on strikes in the tenth.
