rifle ranges for a while. when the
b~ombardment was at its height. There
was a constant crack of bat against
bah and q. c%onsequen chasing OF
aforesaid swatted balls by the Virginia
outhelders. Finally they sort of gave
up in disgust and went after the balls
in as slow a manner as ever tempted

run drive in the last frame. john

square and drove it to the fence,
chasing Schultz in ahead Of him.
