Notes of the Game.


Forsythe played a star game and
was a prominent factor in the victory
of the Kaws. He was credited with
six putouts, several of which were
made in a most sensational way. In
the first he robbed Zwilling of a hit
by mailing his fly while running and
bending over nearly to the ground.
The Drummers injected every pinch
hitter available into the game in the
fruitless effort to win. Tannehill,
who usually delivers on such occa-
sions, was walked when he batted for
Chellette in the seventh, with two
men on bases.
Outside of Forsythe's error, the
Kaws gave Cocreham perfect support,
every man fielding in great style and
playing on his metal at all times
