sensational infield catch of the sea
son when he grabbed hot liner with
his meat-hand right on the third base

to be a sure hit in the eighth inning

scoop up the grounder and throw
Miles out with time to spare.

and throw to first base for an out OF
Barrett's slow roller in the fourth
inning and in the same frame Kleff-

himself with the stick by banging
the ball on the nose for homer that
scored Barrett before him.
Lewis Gets Three Bagger

third inning largely through ,he in
dividual efforts of the celebrated
stickster, Mr. Lewis, who clouted the

on in home when Frayne connected
for a single.

crossed the plate. The runs were
made on three hits, base on balls
and one error.
