The figures at the end of the opening

first inning, yet, on the basis of dam.
age inflicted the Danville brigade had

Things look bright for Mt. Vernon
at the start-off. Dancey lead-off man,
opened the proceedings by bouncing

took apparent delight in referring to
as the baby, was next up. He ripped
one through third at mile-a- minute
clip and Dancey romped home from
second with Mt. Vernon's lone coun.
