catches in the field, one of a liner off
Leonard in the sixth that saved at
least two bases. and contributed three
hits two of which had to do with
scoring runs, and stole a base He
also turned in 4 beautiful throw from
the field that cut off man at the
plate in that notable first inning.
The other fielding feature was turn
) ed in by White, second baseman OF the
visitors. The bases were full in the
sixth, two runs had scored and two
men were out when Benny solomon
walked to the plate. He had only con
nected once safely and he seemed due
for real hit. He got one where he
wanted it and slammed it seven feet
lugh about 10 feet to the right of
second. White started with the crack
'of the bat and leaped as he reached
the course of the ball, sticking up his
glOved hand. The ball stuck momen-
tarily, but he dropped it, recovering so
quickly, however, that he was able to
make second and tag the base before
bike could reach it.
