from the start and was pounded hard
throughout the time he remained in
the box. Jesse gave way to Pat AL
bris in the seventh inning, when the
mad rampage of the Bears was it its
height. Pat held the Bruins the re-
mainder of the way, but the damage
had been done.
The Mobilians got away to a one
run lead in the first inning, when Col
vim initiated Wolfe with a single. Col
vim took too big a lead off first, how
ever and was picked off by Wolfe, who
tossed to McLarry. who heaved to Col
lenberger who tagged Golvin standing
up. Mcmillan singled and stole second,
which was the first stolen base off
Catcher Bob Dowie since he Joined the
Chicks. Wickham hoisted a high fly,
and Tutweiler followed with double
to center, which brought Mcmillan over.
In, the Chicks half Of the second Pol
ly MeLarry caught one of Ray Roberts
fast ones inside, and damned it over
the right field wall for a home run,
tying the score ln-ehe third the Bears
united the count, however. Roberts hit
drive over Dixie CAROLS head for
three bases and after GOVin had lifted
a short fly back of second that Car
roll took, Mcmillan followed with a
single that counted Roberts.
