Ferguson Was Dead Easy.
In the second game Ferguson
took the hurting assignment and
1t proved a tough one. The Crack
ers biffed him vigorously, and. what
was worse, his support was pune

An Indian No Longer.
Much of the Crackers success
in the second game was due to the
useful hurting of Pitcher Price.
