homer in the fourth. Going at full
speed toward the fence, Rice reached up
and pulled the drive down with his
gioyed hand. However, three times
he failed to hit in the pinches when a
hit meant a run. Shanks had couple
sof nifty stops and pegs that reeked OF
class. Dick Torres, the Cuban catcher,
after sitting on the bench all season,
went behind the bat today. His one
error cost run in the eighth. He
handled Mogridge satisfactorily, how
ever. and may be given more work in
the future.
Milan doubled over Veach's head

fly to Shorten. Ehmke jumped up

hoist in the same direction. Milan IN
