Needless to say, with Coveleskie

the visitors had no license to win
with hurlers who put aliens on the

~ Safety Goes to Waste.
Stephenson's safety in the third
was wasted when Speaker whacked
into a double play started by Harris,
but in the succeeding stanza three
more Tribal runs resulted from an
attack tainted with tincture Of horse
shoes which resulted in Courtney
getting the gate and the almost daily

Smiths second safety, Brewer going
in to run for Earl when the latter
accidentally spiked himself. Brewer
was safe at second when Stephenson
dropped Nunamaker's peg. Miller
whiffed, and Shanks connected for
terrific liner, which, however, went
straight into the waiting hands OF
Sewell.
After one was away in the fourth,
O'Rourke singled and reached second on
Courtney's death. Harris met the ball
on the nose and drove it with wh1Skers
attached in the direction Of right field,
only to find that Stephenson was In the
direct route Of the ball.
The Griffs did manage to register in
