good. as there was no one on, but two
out. and the next batter famed.
Buck Becker pitched good ball in the
sixth and seventh rounds. only one man
reaching first. But Jack Flynn's mum of
McBride's throw on Murray's grounder
got the Pride of the Navy Yard rat
tied and he. Immediately proceeded 10
blow. issuing bases on balls and hits
with lavish hand.
Chief Meyers don't play with them
