representation of the fair sex. was
out to see the players melt away
Considering everything II was more
entertaining than a minstrel, more
exciting than world series, and as
hot as the weather. Some plays of
merit were pulled of, but the ball
was played most of the time and
triple and quadruple plays were few.
The game lasted seven innings,
when time was called by the UNI
pires, as they ran for the lake. and
the Fats clamored for another
chance. Three score keepers were
unable to keep up with the shifting
of the players, much less the num-
Der of hits. stolen bases and errors.
AS near as could be figured the
Leans skidooed with % bingles,
while the Fats were hoodooed with
10 drives.

gloyed hand after colliding with the
grand stand and turning a sommer-
sault.
Nothing was doing for the thick
boys in the third inning as their
thinner brothers used the whitewash.
In their half the streaks made four
scores. Wallerstein banged one of
Whites dainties to left for two
sacks. and Goodman followed with a
single. Both scored one a hit by
Bamberg, who also counted on a
series of wild throws. Baker got a
meal ticket and. after basestealing,
scored. With the score to the

Melted down to a speck, Rivers
deserted the pitchers box in the
fourth and Moshell twirled. Waller

beauty catch of a line drive off Of
Goodman's bat. Monte Atkins hit
to Allenberg and before the ball
could be distinguished from Louis
he was safe. Fisher hit and Waller

wicks, while Rivers, Moshell, Ew0'I
and Hecht bizzed them over for tie
candles.
