An even break in the first of the
long string of double headers with the
Bugs was the best the Colts could do
but IL was also the best the Bugs
could do and the locals should be
satisfied.
Chances to win the first game. how
ever, went slipping by, and with
Bussey's easy mode Of pitching the
locals should have been able to get
ahead OF the visitors.

the Bugs got away with his game and
how he did 30 will always remain
mystery The locals pounded him for
eleven hits. two OF them for extra
bases and yet the score only credits
them with one lonely tally. Fine sup
port helped Bussey along in the
pinches and then he had his usual
good control and did not give single
Colt free transportation.
Reyeile allow the visitors seven hits,
two for extra bases. and he issued free
passes with a iayish hand. Five Of
the visitors we're presented with a
passage to first and II was these passes
that proved Revelies undoing. Two
