abandon that they rung up Z to

it probably would have been by a
much larger score but for the in
tense heat. The visitors cracked
out so many hits, a half dozen Of
which went for extra bases, that
they lost interest in running the
sacks beneath the rays of "Old
Sol" Manouk lasted into the fifth
inning before giving way to Elmer
Berg, and in that time he was
touched for IL resounding smacks
and five runs. Berg stopped the
bombardment temporarily, retiring
the side in the fifth and sixth with
out further hitting. but from the
seventh on his offerings looked
about as pleasing to the Jacksons
as Manouk's had. Berg yielded
eight hits and two runs besides
giving four bases on balls.
