was safe on Marhcfka's boot, stole
second and wandered home on Parkin :
sons high double to right center. From

doing for the boys, then, pop went the
weasel
The Gainesville fans, like all others,
began to get ready for a quick getaway
hui they sat down when Johnny Enz-
mann started the final inning with q
Imart smack to right and Frank with
|pw. who had replaced Peters. behind the
bat slid single over second base
George Smith was good for a sacrifice

veaus place in left field, stepped up
Then he stepped down again for Man
agcr Donovan. though umpiring the
Iontest. signaled to Frank Bruggy tC
pinch hit.

ucton to Erickson. the Washington
1iurler, he just crashed one to right
scoring his two teammates and winning
he first game for Bill Donovan a.
manager Of the Phillies.
