end the grounds were soggy from the
morning rain, but r. Fisher went after
those struggling Nationals as he' used
to tear into the wicked small boys long
ago. Two hits, one of them a very
scratchy looking piece. Of work, were the
sum and substance Of very hard days

The Yanks got extremely boiste-ous in
the third, but nothing much came Of the
noise John Henry, McAleer's able
young catcher, dove head first into box
