unfortunate in play ing half of his
games on the slope that is by the
second base here which makes the
position an exceedingly difficult one
to field, not being on strictly level
ground, and yet Flood got by the
first season with the second highest
fielding average in the league for
several seasons.
DeHaven's batting average was a
little better than Floods, due to the
fact that during the first part of the
year before Flood was in the Kitty,
the pitchers We're of a miserably low
standard and man who could not
bat over 800 then was only fit for
such team as Vincennes. DeHaven
had the advantage of hitting these
weak pitchers but when Flood came
into the league new men had been
secured by most of the teams and he
did not have the chance of batting
against as many school boys. Flood
seldom makes hit that isn't ma

bases and were he not able to beat

In the last of the seventh, however

He couldn't hold onto the ball, how
ever, and the speed with which he

There was only one lady fan at

was her pulling that won the game
for the locals. She watched every
play from the scorers box and
helped the official score keeper quite
a bit in recording hits and errors.
