Western trip, received his first assignment
in several weeks, and was equally effective
Smith found him for a double after two
were out in the ninth and this led to two
runs when Snodgrass and Mccormick gave
a poor imitation of Doyle and Merkle.
Wiltse gave three passes and struck out
three, while CrandalI famed one.
