inning, when he allowed three runs

Texas bronchos.
The Kaws presented a changed line
up with French at short and the out
field changed.
Drucke and Flanagan both show
ed that they had Something" and
anything with what they had. Drucke
had a world of speed and good curves
and ordinarily was effective when he
was successful in locating the pan
but his wildness kept him pitching
out of holes. or the visitors were
showing runners over the pan.
Flanagan was no better. He re-
1ieved Drucke in the fourth inning
with one man out. He finished that
inning and pitched the fifth and sixth
without allowing a safe hit but had
men on bases practically all the time.
