first stana. After Bugg and Smith |
went out, Forsythe beat out an in
field hit. Then Mr.. Miller caught |
one OF Roy Patterson's slants where
he wanted II and hoisted the pill

homer was enough to pocket the
combat for the home boys.

more in the fourth. After Krng went
out Ernie Kruger tripied TO left

blow over Sulliyan's bean. Okla
homa Pete then scored on Krause's
single through Otto Williams.

but mental one.
