Swan Quarter scoreless in top of
second, and the dynamite was set

bat. During the explosion and

plate. These red spots turned out
to be the red caps with an Engel-

the dust settled Engelhard led by
score of 17-6.
Swan Quarter was apparently
bewildered to the extent they did
not recover during the remaining
5 innings. One more tally was
