by the slim margin of one hit, but the
railroaders out-played them. The
Grays' misplays were the chief factor
in their defeat. A passed ban allowed

first on a fielder's choice and had been
given transportation to third on
Kings single.

The Grays made a desperate rally in

ing it to Stumpf. GriegO, who had
swped second, went to third on the
play and scored when an attempt was
made to catch TenOriu stealing. 1t was
the Grays' last score.
The second inning was the one that
doomed large in the second game. The
Aq's took kindly to Faulkner's offer
ings in that section and before they
were retired put seven runs across the
plate. They had a siX-run lead then
and the game appeared to be safely in
their possession, but the soldiers,
fighting gamely, gained six more he

the third however, was the deciding
run.
