couldn't get the ball over 'for Harry

with' his lack of control and," the loss
of the stuff he had on the ball, He
folded his glove up neatly, placed it
carefullyrin bis pistol pocket and with

walked off the field and Into the club
house. He Knows better than anybody
else when he can't make the little
round : thing: do ' his wilt He doesn't
have to bejmlled out by the manager.
When Hiram left; Elmer Rieger took
up the burden and i retired", the" side
without more ado, only to, get bumped
for a couple of runs in s the ninth that
kidded the visitors into believing - for
the moment thatf they had a chance.
