afternoon. No enactment set the al
ternoon aside for the fame-haired
burler. but he went right ahead just
the same. Roaring Pat pitched the
Braves TO victory over the Robins by
a score Of 10 /. But, greater than
that perfunctory service, he mace

Raglan enjoyed the distinction or
being able 20 bat from both sides OF tho
plate. 1t is plain fact that no mater
tho side from which he swung IN the
past. the ball never went far. But to
dav IL Was different. His FIRST single
flew on a line 10 centre field, scoring
Hank Gowdy from second m the thlfd
inning. His two other hits were 10
shortstop, but they placed runners m
nosition to score later. With Fat
doing all that wild, woolly, wallOping,
IL was no wonder that Boston won.
Defensively, Pat was good enough TO
cct By. There were times when he
weakened and was IN far way OF
Grubbing, but when base hit wouid
have caused him all sorts Of trouble
he saw TO il that the base hit never
saw the light. in the first third and
ninth innings a base hit would have
plaved the dickens with Raglan, but, as
told previously, Pat chcwed indus
triously at his quid and pitched a.
furiously as he chewed.

break came in the eighth, and three
runs were hurled over the plate.

Red Smith came into his share of the
calcium in the next frame by taking
hit away from Mike Mowrey. making
fine one-handed play on d slow roller
II was only natural then that Mowrey
should retaliate with great play on
Eddie Konetchy. The Bohemian tapped
a bouncer along between third and the
box, and only BY fast, accurate playing
did Mourpv oct him at first.

fun-prodUcing period were bright
Stengers third swing missed by as
Great a margin as his first and he sat
down. Wheat did the same thing eX-

The Boston way Of doing things was
vastly different. In the last half OF

Pat Raglan delivered his biennial sin
