The stuff was there in profusion, ana
the steamy Regulars were badly oaileo
siI tSrough the fray. The five-foot
6ook shelf of Prexy Elliott is practically
nothing at all compared to the thirteen
feet of pitching flesh which Mandarin

The Regulars might have drawn
chance for an even break, but young
Tnrioht worked with a sore arm and
caved IN badly, yielding all eight runs
