by the decisive majority of 10 to 3 and
pocketing the short end OF the second
by count OF 8 to 2.

ball in their system, too, but it failed to
crop out at most opportune times. They
were especially strong at some points,
but were weak at Others; and team

The aborigines found Mitchell for six
hits in the first game, but earned only
one of their three runs, errors at critical

other two. Meanwhile, the Sox thump.

his trusty club. Out Of four times at

far outfield for two bases and once poled
nice single over second. The redskins
found Thompson for ten bits, but never
dented the pan until the eighth. In that
inning, with one out and Marquat on
third, Racer cracked long low one to
left. Hicks coming in made beauti-
