Having won the ball game, the
Bears settled back to enjoy Winters
try at no-hit game. giving him what
support he expected and some that
was more than any pitcher had n
right to expect. Gross and Meyers

something scandalous around short
these days.
SIX McnOt0n0us Innings.
For six long innings, Bob Coleman
made mystic signs and Winters, work
ing steadily and with neither wasted
time nor effort, thumped hooks and
fast ones into the managers mitt.
The Crabs knocked only three balls
out of the infield in that space of
time; three popped up. three struck
out and the rest rolled the pellet
around in reach of infielders. Win
tiers himself played no mean part in
the defensive work that kept all Gal
weston players away from first base
for two-thirds of the game: the first
batsman up he tossed out himself and
three times he covered first base TO
take assists from Jim. Galloway.
Once Jim couldn't find the handle on
the ball and it seemed that the charm
would be broken but Lee King, the
batter, loafed in going TO first and
the Galloway Winters combina-
ton nipped him by couple of steps.
The first Galveston hit was White
mans single to left in the seventh.
Wisterzil followed with a safety back
of short but two forceouts at third
and a fly on which Najo made a
neat catch queered the enemy, rally.
Two more singles were made in the
eighth but a popup, a strike out and
forceout was the best work of
three other hitters. And then wild
throw in the ninth prevented shut
out. Brovold made it on the first
play of the inning, grOunder by
Wisterzil hurrying the throw unneces-
sarily and pulling Galloway off the
bag. Don Brown followed with a
two-bagger to right field, Wisterzil
wisely stayed on third when King
flied TO rifle-armed Najo but he man

to Fuller who had no chance for a
peg to the plate.
