Ebbets Fed Both teams struggled
along for fourteen long innings to TO
2 tie. only the jurisdiction or Hank

there is no telling when the 5.01 fans
would have landed home for their meals.

The Superhas scored two runs In the
first and one In the fourth. but the
Pirates came through with two In the
sixth and tied 1t up in the ninth. That
poor old man. Hans Wagner. was the
cause OF all the trouble rs usual. He got
