pork. HartzeIl struck out.
It might have been different had not
orr own Walter thrown o wild pitch in

park yesterday was McBrides try for
Newnans short ny that he missed only
an inch.

on the part of the locals. and Mac got
loud acclaim from the sparse congrega-
ton.

| Allen. the Browns catcher. had two
| strikes on him at the time, and the first
