a slow roller and Collins did not have
time to relay the ball to Barry for a
force out on Schmidt.
Umpire called Maranville's hit q
foul Maranville hit what looked to
De home run down the right field
line, but Umpire Hildebrand who was
in few feet from the play said the
ball was not fair. He held his hand
down to indicate where 1t struck and
1t was out of the line by inches. The
crowd went wild with Joy at first and
then sank back detected. Maranville
then singled to right center, scoring
Schmidt. 1t was beautiful placed

the ball and connected with the end
OF his bat. Walsh made game try
for it. making headlong dive when
the ball was only about two feet from
the ground.

and went to third on Schang's low
throw. It was palpable error for
the catcher as Collins didn't have a
gnost of chance to stop the ball.
Gowdy still up. Gowdy was purposely
passed. Bush had too much respect
for the lanky backstop's batting
prowess. He was afraid the big fell
low would smash another into the
bieachers. On an attempted double
steal Maranville was caught on third.
One run, two hits, one error.
Maranville was or like shot on
his foul hit to right and had complete
ly circled the bases before Hide

drive got to Deal in fraction OF
second and he stopped running when

ply sprinted at top speed and made
second with time to space.
Oldring famed.
No runs; one hit; no errors.
Oldring's punch out in this inning
was his fourth OF the series. He
swung hard but was missing Tyler's
shootings a foot. The crowd gave
Tyler great hand as he returned to
the bench.
Boston-Tyler out, Bush to Mc1n-
mis-. The southpaw gave the ball a
singing crack, but it proved to be a
sharp grounder direct at the pitcher.

was the simplest kind Of a chance,
Barry being able to make lazy play
on the ball.

hit of the game. He gave the ball a
vicious wal1op and it was only the
fastest kind OF fielding by Oldring
