It hop pod all right, but clear over hla hoad and went bounding away into deep center, while Cravath puffed bis way around the bases, finally stopping at third. Luderus then got hla third kit of the game, another liner over second, which scored Cravath. Philadelphia, Stock, 8b. Bancroft, ss. Penkert, ct. Cravath, rf. Luderus, lb. Whltted, If. Nlohoff, 2b.
