delivery in the next four innings. Mean
while the Resorters ploddcd along, get
ting to Torkelson. but failing to hit in
the pinChes until the sixth, when some
of the weirdest baseball of the season
was exhibited and the visitors chalked
up two runs. The element OF luck en-
tered largely into the success OF Shan
iey's gang, and the two TALES were
secured without the ball being knocked
on, OF the infield.
After Kellerman had flied to Glenn
ems, McGlade hit over Torkelson. who
DETECTED the ball slightly with his
raised mitt. and it bounded just out of
reach Of Durkin, who managed to get
the fingers OF his glove in contact with
the pill. Stanley hit to Durkin, the
ball taking a peculiar hop and eluding

for the plate, and threw In to second
to prevent Lee from taking an extra
base. Cameron scored handily. Durkin
then fouled out to McGlade and Torkel-

McGlade the umpire waved him out and |
Meinert still held down third corn

abetted in his protestations by his pals, |
but the argument was one-sided and
was quickly squelched to be continued |
following the close Of the game, when
the visitors were more free to express
their opinion without fear Of financial
deprivation. Stanley remained to be |
disposed Of and he was an easy out
when he poked grounder toward Tor
kelson. The score:
