displayed less stamina than the ex-
Card, Leon being removed from the
game in the seventh inning in favor
of Bill Doak, while Polonius con-
tinued to the end.
The Giants were the first to score in

slip through his hands, and both run
ners were safe, Perritt advancing to
third on the bungle. Burns stole sec
