bic of d, ing if he was in the proper
condition.

Davis lead in turning in $40, with Miss
Rena Crosdale second with $50.
While the first man up in the sixth
for the visitors lined out three-base
hit, SWearingen held him on the bag
and the next three batsmen who faced
him went down in order, he being cred
tied with two putouts in that frame.

sailed under Paris colors, is in the
