soon relieved by Davis who held his
opponents TO two runs during his
three innings on the mound From
Rhinehart, the Moose slabman, the
Maccabees secured only six hits,
Daugneaux and McCalla getting four
of these between them.
Three hits helped the Maccabees to
their FIRST run, while three errors and
a hit gave them three more In the
third The fifth and last tally came in
the fifth inning on hit, man hit by
pitched ball and two errors The
