smiling and on top every time the en-
envy threatened a murderous assault.
Boehling's best bit of work during the
matinee came in the fifth inning. when
not a Tiger had been retired and the
bases were full, just the kind of a stage

said that perfect support behind willett
and House would have kept the Wash
