tight, the batters, with the added
handicap of mud and water, could d.
little damage TO their deliveries.

Collins tossed out Mullen, both tbs
pitcher and the batter slipping around
on the play. Then Sears walked anc

Windle, Meyers socked a liner that
Davis gathered in, Mason dropped 8
single into short right field, anc
Clark was ont, pitcher to first.
Ellington flied to Mason, who nayi
gated surprisingly well over tht
