his place. as calmly confident as
though he were working March game
against the san Antonio club. The
first ball he pitches is called strike,
somewhat to the irritation of Harry
Hooper who is at bat. The next two
are balls Then Hooper tears off sin

worry Marquard in the least. Far from
it. Instead Of showing any furry, he
hurts the ball with brisk snap TO
Mer1le and Hooper is caught off the
bag and retres crestfallen. Yerkes
lifts to Snodgrass. Speaker gets two
strikes on him, then ball, then ne
fouls one. then he gets another pail,
then he fouls another, then he gets a
third ball. a fourth and walks. II was
