SteSart sure was lucky on his
great catch last night. He mis-
Judged a fearful wallop from Nor
ris' bat. Seeing he had made a
false step, he hastily set out aft
er the liner and after hard run
leaped high in the air and grab
bed the ball with both hands.
There Is one thing about Stewart
that makes him a great ball player.
He has his heart in the game al
the time and goes after everythins
in his territory. He Is not OF the
type Of player who passes up the
hard chances for fear OF making an
error. The harder the chance, the
better Stewart Is pleased.
