Pennsv's one run lead in the nlnin

for a win. Up until that time the teams
had plaved air-tight ball, and althouSD
both had planted men on third tl,
brilliant work Of the pitchers prevented
the men scoring.
Not until the fourth inning was

two infield wallops off Hayes IN ina

Pennsy with VannOrt up. He poppel
one but Russell Smith dropped 1t. NJ
