Big Cy hit to the left field line.
Mitchell, the south paw. had allowed
only six hits before Something reused
must have been the conversion of old
hard luck to a better faith. Anyhow,
WEIGH pumped a screamer to the right
field fence, good for two sacks. Then
Kunkle who had only gotten a good
look at the ball before poked it out
into the sun garden again while the
two tying scores came across ABBOTT
met the condition with a double to left
but Kunkle could not score on 1t.
II looked bad for Mitchell with those
two eager warriors fired by a new SEN
eation and darting from the sacks His
trepidation was evident and he was
jeri5ed to give Hersche chance. Wal
ter Boles met him more than half way,
called his hand and clouted the hfth
successive hit and Kunkle hobbled
home with the game.
