~ thirteen men de abase is crime
as.m.vhat less than murder in the first
Z dssree, but greater than grand larceny.
Caldwell Was Unsteady
psv Caldwell was wabbling all the
xsy through, but the fact that the
p,ouus in the first eight frames got
aarted usually after two were down
md the additional fact that Caldwell
| stched his customary nervy ball in the
anches kept the balance in favor of the
lome hopes until the big blow-otf IN
| lie ninth.
Beginning the ninth, Joe Gedeon hit
, rough fly to High. Counting fouls
md ali, Joseph hit some of the smart
1T raps yesterday that have been seen
tthe P. G. this season, but it looks as
though he will have to put a rudder on
ibs bali to steer it safely. Jones sent in
iohns to bat for Demmitt and Johns
singled to left. Fritz Maisel then
bstted for Smith, of smithful Omaha,
and hied to Miller.
y WITH two down and but one on and
| lead Of three runs in the Yanks
| favor, it seemed all over but the shout
| ing. But Les Nunamaker singled tc
| right, sending Johns to third. Then
| Ernie Johnson, who had filled in for
Gerber in a previous inning, was hit
! by pitched ball, filling the we'll known
satchels.
With three on and two down, Fielder
Jones found himself with no pinch
hitters so he dispatched a day letter
Ato Urban Shocker, in care of the Wis
tors clubhouse, and in due course
Dlbsn came strolling across the field
and took his position at bat. A dog
gone dangerous guy is Urban Shocker
make no mistake!
