II seems too bad that Eorpett % n IL

was great cheering and rejoicing, for
IL looked as though the Seals had their
clubs ready to give Mr.. Tozer one or

and had them swinging like bushers
His control was about perfect and he
was being well supported. Anybody

Orendorf had been retired in the

Berry did not even try to grab him.
Ross came on with a fluky one which

thrown his man out at the plate by an
Irish mile, but he stalled around with
the ball and Daley registered with
little difficulty.
There was heap of excitement and
heart palpitations in the ninth. San
