Barons Waste Opportunities

Storch made a couple of wonderful catches, and a one handed stab by Lind say of drive by Almeida, which re- suited in the doubling of Messenger at second, probably made certain the defeat of the Barons Marcan fielded in spec tacular fashion, and a catch by Mcbride was another feature. An incident was the election of Manager Schwartz To lend emphasis to q protest, he tossed the ball against the ground.
 Rudderham acted.
 The principle offense of the Barons consisted in the tossing away of excel lent opportunities to win. In the first inning Messenger attempted to score from second on an infield out, and after hav- ing attempted, changed his mind. Of course, he went out. Mcbride on sec ond, permitted Elliott to pick him off Almeida took chance at scoring when a throw 10 third passed Perry by several feet. At that time men were on third and second with only one out.

 In the first Lattlmore was walked and eventually reached third. Storch was walked. A double steal was attempted, and Yantz begged badly. Lattimore scored as Marcan was running Storch down.
