 SUMMA'S TRIPLE COUNTS
 That was all for the Pels. In the sec ond Griffith singled and Summa tripled to deep center, sending him over the plate. Things rocked along smoothly until the sixth when the Barons by some daring base running and consistent hitting put the game on ice.
 Stevenson singled. Bernsen did like wise. Ellis laid down 8 perfect bunt in front of the plate and went out De- berry to Bradley, while both men moved up. Griffith poked one at RippertoD which was deep. and Stevenson, on his toes, teat the throw to the plate by an eyelash, while Bernsen moved over to the third. Then Deberry let one of Phil lips throws get away from him and Eernsen came home. Summa walked. but there was no more scoring.

emergency wrenches out Of place
when they are needed Another
case Of bad management on the

to leave any fire company to

to have Wrenches in places to
turn on water in case Of fire.
