of batting was not unexpected of
Smith who usually has several hits to
his credit at tbe end of game while
the Vain man bas beeu previously
known us "strike out Hurley."
Smith win safe on tlrst live times,
reaching that bass once mi fielder's
choice. One bit should hsve la en a
home run but be failed to touch tlrst
