a tie in the ninth by the narrowesr

ids player was out to beat his old
teammates, and for eight innings it
looked as if he would accomplish the
task without the slightest trouble.

slip between his legs, Park counting
with the second run. When Anderson
cracked another single to center the
fans groaned. for Reed brought in the
third score. But Giffen, who was on
first, reckoned without Murphy's arm,
