three men, forcing over the tying
run with the last walk.
Among those who at various times
saved the game for the Warriors are
Johnson, Flowers, Schroll, Arm

singles in eight times up, while

a home run three singles and sac
rifice fly. scoring Flowers in the
second.
In passing over the game, full
credit must be given to 'Augie"
Schroll for holding his opponents af- :
ter this big lead. And credit must .
also be given "Humpty" Stansburv .
for his gameness under fire of I'M
favorable nature. The first two runs
gained off "Humpty" should not
have scored, while the second two
scored on Munda's homer. ALI in
all it was a heart-breaker for either
side to lose. {
