fused to yield the second game until
ldarilg base running by Anderson
and lucky hit by Cox scored the
only run of the game in the ninth
lnning.
About the brightest feature OF
both games was the work of Guy
johnson, a candied haired youngster
who stood in the center OF the dia-
mond and hurled the sphere at the
Indians In a way that ii was unhitta-
bic with bat In the first game Of
seven innings he allowed only one
scratch hit. and had the Indians COM
lpletely at his mercy. In the second
he was touched up for ? total OF six
hits but they were never dangerous
until the ninth inning when Cox rip
ped out a safety with Anderson on
the third station.

"Johnson" that works such n hoOdoo

The game started OF with plenty
