The only puzzling thing about the
affray of yesterday was now the
Mackmen Contrived to limit them
selves TO a mere fistful of ta,lies.
They socked JeZebel TeCumSeh Zach-

their dug-out. collecting a total OF
seventeen bingles. in which the res
tive home run, however, was conspi-
cuouS by its absence.
On the other hand. Bryan Harris,

was accorded some rare support. es-

double plays being achieved TO help
him maintain his poise whenever it
seemed that the home guard might
start to get familiar with his stuff.
As Finally Make Good.
The AS made faces at Zachary for
four rounds, in which they compiled
eight bingles. including triple, and
had the benefit of an error. yet COL
lected only one run. and it required
a punching of three swatS to turn the
trick. Whiting Witt for starter.
Zach yielded a triple to Dykes. who
