man up, drove a long fly to Collins
which the center fielder couldn't land
Lee sacrificed him, French sent him UP
a peg with an inf1eld out and Gardner
scored him And that is something
on the order of the entire program
Twice during the afternoon the Kaws
batted around in one inning. In the

Partly Baked, Partly Frozen.
At the end of a race their bare
forearms have been almost frozen by
the rush of air. while in a cramped
position their scorched legs have
gone to Sleep To keep their witch
ing feet upon the pedals they manage
to squirm down over the handlebars
until they hook their elbows over their
knees, and thus hold their legs on"
The muscles of their backs so ache
that at the finish they are half mad
with the humping pain which has
reached their heads. Riding parallel

the grandstand far above SEEM to be
looking up at them, and IL e earth
seems canted at the So degree angle
of the track.
They whirI insanely on and on, los
ing track of laps and rivals. Their
goggles are blurred by the oil from
other motors, so that they seem
charging madly through dense fog.
Few can ride without glasses, because
of the pain from the eyelashes whip
ping against the ball. They dare not
turn in their saddles to watch those
who follow, and they cannot hear. So
they cannot place the man behind IN
til he has reached their hinder pedal.
Ignition and gas and fabrication trou-

they think of the chances OF a burst

ever quits.

NO MAN SEES FIRST.
No Hit, No Run Record Hung Up by
Wolfgang.

Lynn, Mass, Sept. For ten in
nings Melton Wolfgang of Lowell held
Lynn to no hits and no runs without
a man reaching first base in a New
England Baseball League game here.
This is believed to be a new record
for organized baseball under the ma
tional commission. The records show
four no hit, no run games for ten
innings, but Wolfgang's feat of allow
ing no man to reach first in ten in
nings is said to be unique.
