Ond. The damage was not so serious as
it looked. however, as Vergara famed
for the third out.
The Athletics broke into the run col

down B. Dunlevy picked one that he liked
the looks of and drove it on line be-
tween right and center field Lazzali
tried to play the hop but fell down and
the ball hoped merrily on its way, while

tally. The fans had hopes of another run
when Adams got hit, but Clune's best was
a roller down first base that Florence

Old Man Weather couldn't resist the
temptation to slip into the program and
upset the whole show for about - min
utes. but after showing what he could
do if he wanted he went on his way and
everyone was satisfied.
When play was resumed the ball toss
another scare into the locals, and only
for some fast work they probably would
have been more troublesome than they
turned out to be, for after MetOxan, the
first hitter, had walked. Neary whaled
one to Kennedy that looked good. but
John was there and the runner beat it
back to first. Johnson singled over see

With one out and two on. things looked
bad, but LAWYERS best was a roller to
Adams, who played the ball to Plumb,
who in turn made pretty peg to first,
completing a snappy double play, pulling
out of a ticklish situation.

sixth. when the locals broke the tie and
forged to the front, never to be headed.

the hop. Kennedy scored as the ball
bounded to the Outfeld. Il. Dunlevy got
the jump on the pitcher. who nearly pulled

second safe and sound. Adams tried Il
sacrifice him to third, but popped to the
pitcher. Il. Dunlevy was again all SET

haste to get him made low peg to third
that bounded into the field. Dunleyy con

inning by grounding to the pitcher. This
until the ninth, looked to be a safe mar
