would return him victor nine times out

ming that the visitors got anything that
resembled a hit. Then High hit one d
foot over his head for a single to left,
and Cook showed him up with a sacri-

Gedeon singled to center, sending High
home with the first run. That advan-
tage held good until the sixth, when
the Griffmen tied the score. With one
out Foster tripled to right center and

Rondeau doubled OF center.
There was another chance for runs in

hit. but Moeller was not equal to the
emergency and forced Harper at sec
