Robertson led off with a hot sin

succession. Neun walked and D.

his second go-round by driving out
to center field. In all. six hits. a

rons, and brought their total to
eight.
1t was the fifth inning before
Dunns men scored any more, and
the fans were clamoring for action
from the lazy FASTENERS. Taylor and
Robertson singled, and Meekin sac

FIip's Anger.
After Cox's unspeakable blunder

ly in the seventh. at least one Baron
came up hopping mad in the eighth.
1t was Flip Neun, and he was angry
for more reasons that one. For ono
thing, he had. been called out on a
close play at first. for another long
drive after long drive had landed a
foot or so foul and then he just ma
turally didn't like that ball Zahniser
was throwing. With one man down.
Hartford walked, and committed the
objectionable crime of stealing sec
ond base for his second time of the
day. That further added to the an
ger of Mr.. Neun, and Flip was roar
ing with rage. so to speak, when he
selected his bludgeon and advanced
to the great melting pot, the home
result was to be expected. Flip didn't
like that ball anyway. and he pro-
ceeded to knock it as far pos
sible. 1t went to left field, or passed
that way, at least. Flip made his
home run. scoring Hartford ahead
of him and then crossing the pan
with the thirteenth run of the game
for the Barons.
Flip knocked that ball so far that

on their hurlers when the opposi-
ton is knocking it out of them.
1t was a game of put and take. so
to speak The Barons would put the
pill out of the lot, and the Chicks,
with lolling tongues that Tapped the

right back to Zahniser.

loafed around all afternoon, enjoying
the affair, it seemed. 1t was unpar-
donable of him allowing those fuz-

with that one run-yes, it was as
objectionable as the deed of the Good
Samaritan long. long ago. or the
giving of a single straw to a man
