Battle of the Boroughs to the Dodg

by 3 to i.
Zack Wheat plastered Mr.. Jess
with n home run and a triple. Fee
rocious Frederick Toney was doing
nicely in pitchers duel with Burleigh
Grimes in the second game and de-
served few, punched base hits, but
they did not come. Hubbell finished
both games. The taking of the double
header caused the Bridge Jumpers to
