seventh and should forward in the future instead of
slipping back.
work of the Phs has attracted lots Of attention
because those fence busters willing to take any Kind
OF chance and will gamble against long odds to win
ball game. 1t will be remembered that one day in New
York Gavvy Cravath took out Eppa Rxey in the eighth

Gavvy batted for his pitcher knocked homer and won
the game. That considered stuff but II can't
compare with what pulled yesterday in Cincinnati
