innings, holding his opponents to five
scattered hits, while his team mates were
pounding out eight bingles, FIVE of which

play baseball with the Detroit Tigers,
while Carroll held down the first base

spective positions in fine style and
should prove to be valuable assets to the
team next season.

in the first inning by bringing over two
runs on three timely hits. Beattie start
ed the hitting by pounding out double

a weak grounder to Clark, who tossed
out Beattie with time to spare at the
