wasn't the fact that they had missed

a wish to refreshen their memories

The Fatal Fourth.
Then came the fourth inning. the
inning IN which five Of the games OF
the series were won. Eddie Collins
was again 'booed" as he came up.
He fouled off two, let one go by
which Rariden thot was a strike and
then rolled to Zimmerman. Heinie
ran in and heaved the ball to the
grandstand. Collins pulled up at sec
ond base, the crowd groaning. Fletch-
er and Herzog kept Collins close to
the bag while Jackson was getting two
strikes and two balls. Then Jackson
lifted a high fly to Robertson, who
brought dismay to the Giant rooters
by making a muff and Collins busted
to third. Jackson held first as Rob-
ertson unavaillngly tried to head off
Collins.
There was great Joy on the Sox

to right field and in trying to stretch
1t into a double Gandil was thrown
out, Robertson to HerZog. Weaver

amends, but his best was long fly
to John Collins. Fletcher bounced a
single off McMullin's glove, but Rob-
