Fordham registered five runs on hits

errors and Coletti's long circuit clout.
The home nine collected four more
in the next session when Martin

bruise on his off hind leg. When he
returned to tho scale the wound was
bleeding profusely and it was believed
it would he necessary to throw him
out of training. But the wound
healed quickly and rather than disap-
