ninth homer of the season in the
fifth with two aboard.

same thing for the ~Spudders in the
fourth, polling in more runs than all
the Sport stickmen. Ziggy Sears
pinch hit for Williamson in the
ninth and smacked out a single, but
Shreveport could only run in one
tally in that frame. Williamson
went out in the third for bunting a
third strike foul, which may have
had something to do with the call
ing in Of the former Panther.
Center Fielder Najo of the Bears
made what was said to be a worlds
record with II putouts in center
field, r. j. Harley Of the Cards hav-
ing held the palm with eleven since
1898. although Mostil of the White
Sox tied the record Tuesday. In the
sixth N1jo was the whole fielding
staff. retiring the Exporters one-
two-three. Cox, meanwhile, was en-
abled to chalk up a two-hit victory.
