to the limit, every home batter waiting
him out and fouling off all the good
balls thrown. The excessive labor

time rather carelessly, and Hasbrool
scored, Pinkerton going to third. Run

After their bid in the third tn
Muskies, found Penner's slants be
wildering and three scattered hits wer
all they registered thereafter.
