guests slipp~d up and stole the copy

informed the attendance Of eighteen
(mostly ball players) that the final
count was 16 to in favor of the

came in the third inning, Murphy the
Sioux catcher, being the party that start
ed it with a single over second base.
Reagan laid down bunt and Murphy
legged it for the cover of the second
port which he reached while McAllister
and Koerner were retiring Mike. Then
1sadore Cooney pushed his bat against
one Of Growers offerings, sending II
down the right field foul line for three
bases. Clarke kept up the good work by
singing over second, scoring Cooney
Kane singled, sending his boss to third
