players considerably in the riotous
third. Shufiin' Phil Douglas, who re-
lleved Benton in the fourth was also
rather ineffective. but he managed TO
hold his opponents to only one run.
Vernon Clemens led the attack with
TOUR singles in as many times at bat.
Lew North, who undertook to hold the
visitors in check, was hit rather hard
in the first inning. He lost all sense
Of direction and could not locate the
plate in the fourth inning, and Sherdell
succeeded him. The latter yielded seven
nlts but kept them fairly well dis
