game on Memorial day, took turn
against the world champs in their last
two batting efforts and was nicked for
three safeties and q tally, the tally
being chalked up in the eighth.
Rube Is Wild.
The Mats found the left-handed RUDE
Walberg generous as to passes, but
wtingy as to hits. He gave up seven
walks, yet was nicked safely but five
times. Only two of the walks hurt
Walberg's cause, however. They were
