stick. Fink hit an easy grounder to
Jack and the score was to 1.

pelting Fink, the former I'M. twirler,
for two singles, triple and double.

Joe jenkins, big sticker of the

game himself, landed on one of
Fink's choice offerings for three
bases. Miller didn't hesitate about
scoring from first base. Hilly hit one
ten feet off first base and the boss
was out at the plate on a fielder
choice, big Red Mullin choosing tc
nip him instead of tagging Hilly. Pat
