Brown went along we'll enough in the
early part OF his game, getting l0c points
In his frsg seven innings. for an everage
OF l44-1. He appeared to be IN
RS old time form and due for a fine per,
%fcrmance. Then his slump set in and
'e got worse and worse until he finished
with an average OF 2i-47. Applied,
averaged only 3+-+,.
Despite his Indifferent play, Brown
managed TO get out OF the tie for last
place, though It was due more to Ap'
pleby than himself that he now has
record OF one victory and one defeat.
