Joe Wood was i'll great form to-
day and beat out Nean Gregg
easily. 1t was an easy cleanup
for the pennant chaserS in the last
game with the Maps on the home
grounds this season. the final
score being s to 4, the hostile runs
being due to brief spells of rest
which Wood took after his fell
lows had given him plenty Of
margin to work on.

contrary to custom, was given
enough leeway in the opening
stanza to go the remainder of the
journey under a pull. In this
opening stanza Ball singled and
Speaker strolled, after which the
pair came through with a nifty
double steal. Lewis then tapped
to Johnson, and the sccond-sackcr
beat the peg to the plate. A field

ror thrown in, made three counts
for the Stalls and practically fin
ished the game. The Maps came
back with one in the second and
another in the fourth. At that
particular moment the leaders
decided that the visitors were too
close for comfort, and in their half
of the fourth bombarded Mr..
Gregg for four tallies.

one score being secured off his de-
livery.
