her three runs in the ball game.
His home run was his first hit in
the nightcap. 1t came in the first
frame with Horney and Young

around 1,5OO fans who were car

of ball exhibited, displaying this
approval with continuous yelps
and shouts in response to the
many fancy fielding plays, the
heady inside baseball executed,
and the countless fence-denting
line drives that could be heard
for at least a block away.
Highlights of the first game
was Leftfielder Coles terrific
