really should have been caught by Harry
Williams. in shooting a grounder TO first.

work on slow rollers along the third base
line was Of the highest grade. and he
worked for all the world like Arthur Dew
lin when the former Giant was in his
prime
Naisel faced the pitcher four times.
That he did not get al least one hit was
due TO an exceptional catch Of his drive
10 left cid by Jack Johnston. The ball
rang of the bat billed for the Ience. but
Johnston managed TO get around to II IN
time to make fine play. Maisel got
base on balls and scored run. In the

ling roller By Jimmy Austin. getting the
runner by less than foot. The crowd
cheered him for his excellent work.
