on this particular occasion or maybe the
drones were full of hives. both Of which
would have an inclination to cause a
low ebb in the matter df run getting,
but the fact remains that Of the eight
games played no one was productive OF
more than seven runs, and on no oc-
casion was team defeated by more
than three runs. Patrons of baseball

during the week were bard hit, almost
