afternoon.
In the quantity of hits amassed the
two teams finished about even, the
Yannigans with a dozen and the reg
ulars with thirteen.
Errors were numerous on both sides,
and, although the Yannigans made
two tallies for every one chalked up
by the regulars. the earned run count
was the same-one each.
Mogridge was pitted against Jose
Acosta at the take-on and had all the
better of the duel, which lasted five
rounds. In that period he was located

Goebel had a rather tough time of

his last trip to the pan. He covered
his territory in nice shape and dem

the eighth with a heave from deep

with an error. as the throw was wide
