an exhibition game with Cleveland
had been included in his run" and

back into stride and connected for

ture. Frank struck out his first
two times at bat and was tossed out
by Jeffries on his third. He won
loud acclaim in the eighth when he
landed on Munns and set sail for

time and "Siggie" was left on third
as Wingard bounced out to Todt and
Bedore skied to Radcliffe.
