team was winning. and all left to tell
the story at home that the Chicks
are all that Cassidy picked them for
brainy. hard hitting and clean base
running baseball men, who certainly
look good as first division men.

ing slab artists and all and all Brazell

Jersey town. True, they hit the big
Chick rather lively in the ninth in

fans by tanning the first three men

throughout the game, aided by the
brilliant support back of him. Mar

two lighting double plays. Every
other man on the team played a siz-
zling game even though the error

throws that were made worse by the
stiff wind that howled across the field.

port from Tienmyer and Clay. the
pair making the five errors that are
recorded against the Feckert crowd.
