Six hits were all the Sox could get
off of little Jack WARRIOR, and even

because he couldn't imagine his

a runner was on third. Probably if
Buck had stuck on the bag they
would have failed. The sight of a

Weaver opened the fourth with
double. Chase's out sent him to third,

Woods a margin of two signatures
as safety against the recall.
Attorney T. f. Ray, REPRESENT

that they should be removed from
the lists because they would be
unable to vote. The recalIers de-
handed that the signatures of the
deceased be held on the petitions

were made.
