on the right forearm.
A fast double play retired the Sox
in the seventh. With Happeny on
second. Schalk grounded to Peck
Rogers throw retired the batter at
first and Gharrity's relay nipped Hap
peny at third.
Peck offset his two base wild throw
of Happeny's rap in the fifth with
An unassisted two-ply killing. When
Schalk lined toward second the Ma
tionalS' nifty shortstop shared the
ball and jumped to the middle sta
tion before Happeny could return.
Rice qualified ms n circus tumb ler

diving catch of Hoopers low liner.
Sam turned completely over after
getting his hands on the sphere, but
froze to it.
An odd play retired the Sox in the
sixth When Sheely hit to left with
Mcclellan and Mostil on the bases,
6oslin tried to nab Mostil with a
