Francisco nailed her colors above the

situation could have been desiredf But
though there were numerous anu
thrilling feats of fielding, several verg-

boneheaded fourth, when the Anglers
had no excuse for not scoring eXcep'
the kind of playing you see IN A i1Ie,
mazoo or the Maine WOODS, remain a 1t5a
with the fans even above that OF tue
ever-present burned peanuts anu INC

For eight brief innings, into Whlch

The Bonehead Fourth
It's almost like stepping on brass
tacks in the dark or swallowing u tI
r,f disa greeable medicine to relate the
ta1e of that fourth inning, but dls-
agreeable duty is most easily handled
he heinz speedily disposed of, so the
fourth will be showed into the rub

10 approach that brighter and pleas
anter ninth. I'll
Howard made nice beginning, walk
INC tn first. Smith singled to LETT ana
M6vyard and Smith worked a double
steal that was termed 'perIect
drEaun" by an ardent feminine ran'
who said it so charningly that NO

though it was more speedily thah
dreamily wrought. With no one uoWn

first via the shortstop-f1rst baseinai
route, and Jud Smith, usually prdlns
hall player, was persuaded by poo
coaching TO wander on toward home
when he never had a chance TO lanC
safely. Thus in the space Of two min
utes the fond hopes Of the locals Wer'
shattered. Dillon and his men walked
onto the field as in dream, ana hd'
hardly awakened from their trance
when the Seals gave them heart failur'
in the ninth.
After the fourth the two pitcher
huckled down to a long, steady grind

looked it up TO that fatal ninth.
