and famed. Welch flied out to Pen
nell. Right here Topeka pulled off the
same kind of a play they were made
the victim of on the preceding day

the ball concealed about his person.

ton, stepped off the bag he was prompt
" touched out. The laugh was on the
Packers that time.
Sioux City never had chance to
