 3 only three times did they suc-
 8d in connecting with it, so effec-
 rely did the Herald twirler "Jim- 'ie' McGoldrick, shoot his benders
 Ter the pan. He famed 20 Record
 -called baseball players, and he
 Suld have struck them all out had
 B been so disposed. Then by way of
 8bbing it In, he caught one of the
 hnts of Mir. Cone, (alleged pitcher)
 ght on the nose, and lifted it into

 he days work.
 The Herald men didn't want to dis
 burage Mir. Cone the first two in
 Angs, so they retired in order. But
 the third franc they broke the ice, 8ngles by Ferony, O'Brien and ''Lil srtar' Bachmann. coupled with #uff by Captain Timbrell of the Rec Ed and a wild heave or two by Mir. sone netted the Herald two runs. |bings went along smoothly again .ntil the seventh. when the Herald acn got together and decided to .ave some fun with their opponents Kidding them into believing that a secord man could cross the plate. #cGoldricl1 gave the first a free pass b a Record player, who never could
 lave gotten on any other way, and hen someone scratched a measly hit Sver short, surprising himself fully as huch as the spectators. The name of AaiS player could not be determined, #ccause hits were so scarce among sae Record men tHat they all claimed D have produced the phenomenon. Enen came the funny stuff The Her i'd pitcher tipped off his mon that he rould let the next batter hit the ball letween short and third, and he even |pecified that 1t should be fast Erounder.
 The Record man connected with he sphere, gasped with surprise, and nm toward first. His teammates on he bases were so astounded at first
 hat they stood paralyzed, but the .oacher on third yelled for them to aoye on, and the runner on second itarted for third, rounding that base Ike q steam engine on the third ,iarn1, and bolted for home. Here's where the Herald strategy comes in. gIIIie O'Brien, the left fielder, came racing in for the ball, picked it up neatly and hurled 1t to the third The latter, seeing that the gocord runner had fallen into the ran bv starting for home, let the ball -o bv him, as though 1t were a wild nag and the Record man pranced to- ,yard the final station, supremoly confident that he would get there. ant neither he nor the coacher mo- ticad that McGoldrick had backed up

That was too much. 1rbe Record men let out an awful I.aIIsr about a blocked ball. They tLou1ht someone in the crowd behind st{rd had tossed the bali home and s+o,, started to nag the ump. They
