If George Bochlcr had been
permitted to travel the full
ninc.inning route Saturday
the Oilers undoubtedly would
have won a ball game. For
six rounds Big George stood
the Indianapolis swatsmen on
their heads, shutting 'cm out
and letting 'em down with a
trio Of widely scattered bin
giles, and in the meantime his
teammates had collected three
runs off the port-side delivery
of one Petty. Then

the only blows or his delivery. Just

Tho Oilers suffered their first
piece of real bad luck OF tho season
when George McUinnls. star short

seventh inning. Mac" beat out an
infiold hit and In the close play at

him. Two stitches were required to

Goodbye, Hall Game.
Here's the sad part of the nj tory:
