of three errors by kopf, who had
rough time of it at short. while the
Braves had to face faultless fielding.
Goslin Fails to Hit.

Columbia made the ball take all kinds
of queer shoots. The outfield also was
rough and came in for a lot of cuss-

Although unsteady when he was
injected for Erickson, Courtney set
the Braves down in order in the sixth
