hyhite Sox hopes on four hits,
while rhis mates were picking up
runs here and there for a to J
vashington victory in the first Of

There. were signals from Gleason
and conferences between Leverette
and Sehalk during that wild ffth.
The general question seemed how
wild can a pitcher get before it's too
late. Gorham v. didn't have a thing
in the world on the ball.
