Eugene Finnegan did the hurting

of ball was served UP to the visitors.
but they took kindly to his slants in
the first and eighth innings. when they
punched hits Off him and scored one
and two runs.
Herbert, who later is to go to the
Baltimore Orioles, was in rare form
and kept the four hits well scattered
throughout the contest. Not once were
the Hilltoppers able to bunch hits

last tally for st. Johns. In the ninth
the Annapolis boys threatened. as
Herbert opened with a hit, but Mort

Herbert tried to take two bases on
Elzey's single to right he was thrown

the danger was over.

in the drive himself and collected
quite a few thousand in his tour of

Yankees only picked away at his de-
livery in the early going. and il it had
not been for the scratchy hits which
were gathered by HIuggins' hired men

Ayers granted most of the blows

safe smash and 4 wild heave by the
Hillsville poundsmann paved the way
for the Yankees tally in the opening
frame. while hits by Miller and Han

Yankees their next counter in the
