and allowed nine hits. two of which came
after the two fumbles by Olson on the
first two men up in the sixth inning.
The man who put the finishing touch on
Cadore, by driving in the winning run
with a double was Horace Ford. who
has gone on batting rampage. Horace
made four hits in four times up to-day

day. He was the only Brave to-day to
get moro than one hit. and two OF his
four were lucky scratches to Andy High
on balls he tried to knock out OF the lot.

hits. Neither pitcher struck out
batter and neither walked batter. but
