his men with optimism as he break

the other watching the tricky grape

team played vigorously behind him, and
it was great after the tough loss of

Wasn't our Meusel wonderful in the
field and at bat?" he inquired
That was an easy one to answer.
Meusel was wonderful. even WORE 60

and single. They didn't even hint
how close he came to making another
two -bagger. 1t was In the ninth inning.
