George Keeps Hits Scattered.
George was solved for a total Of
eleven safeties, but in only two in
stances were they punched effectively.

and HolliEg for thirteen swats. every

contributed a tally eventuating from

have used his fist. for, in addition to a
whack that netted a tally and paved
the way for another in the third, he
sent one Of Holling's twisters on a
backyard excursion in the vicinity of
street. Mogridge, Harris and Judge
contributed scintillating hits on de-
fense. and the last turned in his
daily quota of three hits, one more
than any other pastimer accounted
for.

Judge was on third at the time

But John Cyrus had no such good
fortune in the second. when slashing
safeties to left by Miller and Charity,
with Shanks' death sandwiched be-
tween. netted the initial tally of the
pastime, and he faded from the pic
ture in the following frame when he
was raked fore and aft for a yield of
two runs. despite some crafty stuff
essayed by Il RAYMOND Cobb.
Judge provided the entering wedge

bunt safely past Oldham. Rice's short

Shanks cashed Brewer with a bang

weary way to the showers.
