IN Justice TO Heddon it must be said
Nj all the breaks were against him.

wednesday in his game with Mayer
seemed TO have lost all sense CT speed
and direction yesterday. and never could
begin 10 do himself justice.

YOU notice that they all seem to pick on

After winning the bank Heddon missed
his first try. whereupon Gardner pro-
eeeded 10 click off 81 points. in the next
three innings he ran his total up to 100
points. mostly by careful nursing OF the
worries. his balkline play being OF d high
order Heddon. in the mean time, had
managed TO get only IL points, Gardner
always PLAYING safe and leaving the balls
widely separated.
Having established an almost lnSur-
mountable lead. the veteran continued TO
