Pound Kerr In Third.
Kerr's performance on the whole
was, a neat one, but he made the
vital mistake of skidding in the
third. In that frame the Grins
punched four of their seven hits,
inclGdrng a double by O'ROurke and
triples by Rice and Miller. In ad-
ditiop, the midget southpaw re-
Iieved himself of a couple of bases
on balls during the excitement. All
of this mixed together produced
enotkh runs to get a one-point de-
cisi0h at the end

party cut up around the first sta
