fielding cut of Washington hits inning

men. only escaping three innings without
issuing a pass, and made up for this
by giving two free tickets in the fourth
and eighth.
Three hits was what this Houck person
allowed, while Groom was reached for
exactly that number. Lanky Bob twirled
air-tight bal! until the fifth, when Mclnnes
started the trouble with a single Strunk
followed. and after Henry had droppe,l
foul tip on the third strike, the batter
unloaded single to left field Barry
hunted. and when Gandil made a bum

first base, the sacks were populated.
