out any designs. "Adonis'' Hart was
the principal reason why they couldn't.
They couldn't do anything serious to
the "doll-face's" pitching. The White
Sox family pooh-poohed the youngster

David and Goliath story resnacted.
Hart allowed his opponents but two
clean hits. the other four being very
doubtful, but had to be recorded as
hits. While he made a small number
cut slices out of the ethereal cheese, he
circumvented the ambient about the
rubber mat at the home portal in such
q deceptive way that when ash snd
leather collided his mates just mach ally
couldn't help but amble in the way of
the pea. And so on and so on. What

After the Highlanders had been retired

the first two men up in the White Sox's
half were pinched in easy fashion.
