~ While Nehf was breezing along at a
wonderful pace and was receiving great
support from his mates the Giants were
having considerable difficulty in con-
meeting with the shoots of Harold Carl

when the Giants put the tying and win

with several fine plays that saved Nehf
from trouble. The work of the in

was Of the highest order The team

scored a run in the first inning That
looked good enough to win until the
Giants pulled their little rally in the
seventh. With two out Ma1anville
dumped short fly to left field for a
single Whitfield followed with another
short fly to center. Burns gambled on
the hit and came in on a dead run, but
failed to make the catch. The ball
rolled by him for a two-bagger and
Naranville crossed the plate. Frisch
made a neat play on Cutshaw' S
grounder and tagged Whitfield on the
base line for the third out.
Locals Waste Bingles
After the local team had gone out
