to give them that opportunity.
"Chick' Murphy did the twirling
for st. Michael s and after the second
inning held the visitors down to three
scattered hits and only two bases on
balls, which werc not in any way disas-
trous. GRAY lost two out Of five pos
Sible chances at short which were III
great measure responsible Tor the loss
of the game Moore. who pitched FOR
for the All Stars, was touched up for 10
hits and il was excellent team work
! back of him whish prevented st. Mich
