They tried one again yesterday in the
first inning. but were foiled. The same
two tried IL and the same two who didn't
thwart IL in the votes for women en-
vironment did foil the nefarious scheme
this time. Schultz singled and went to
third on Iim's infield single. Zim's sim
gle was short in length but long In
effect. 1t tore away from Stroud's grip,
rolled to Lobert's feet and the latter
couldn't field it to first In time. But the
time consumed by the balls devious
movements allowed Schultz to reach
third. Fletcher and Meyers were laying
for Schultz and scalped him when he
and Zim tried to steal.
Murray's one handed chicanery in the
third was unitarian to a degree. be-
cause IL the lick had got away the Cubs
would have scored at least twice. Vaughn
had singled and was resting at first
when Phelan drilled the far eastern
background with "A tremendous drive,
Murray raced along with 1t and gobbled
IL with his glove. Whether or not lie
could have made the catch with "
hands, phelan was out and trouble
avoided. for Fisher followed with a SIN

bases. The count was three and two

a poor return to Archer Grant scored.
: Archer had to jump for Fishers slipshod
throw. and as he came down he touched
