was pitching nice BALL only Ty Cobh

that drove the dentist frafn the
mound, When the inning &as over six
runs had been Tailed and the score
stood 10 to S.
With this big lead the Sox felt safe,
evan II White had been battered TO
bits. The pufYyises had shot the
shoots of Summers, driving him 10
the bench in the very first inning. and
had pounded Works SO hard that he
had given way to Coyington. In the
very next inning they proceeded 10
slaughter this gunner. They laced
the ball hard enough to bring in a
couple OF runs. and with lead OF
seven and only two innings to go they
reckoned the game as good as won.
But the Tigers never quit for mo-
ment. Davy Jones was sent to ba,
in place Of Drake. who had not been
hitting the ball. Daey got hit. Shal :
