 The game was long drawn out and uninteresting from spectators view point. as the runs were more the re- suit of justification of the cranium than through plays of brilliance.
 The bold Barons could not connect at the right time with the elusive curves of Dugan, the four hits credited to them coming as far apart as the sta . tions of the western prairies.
