as-'-runner, and once before they y,^.\
lade some pretty reich remarks on the
dirty" ploying by Foster. He did not
Viv "dean" hall by any means.
From the eighth until th.* close there
ns pretty plavins- 'lone, the fi.-ld work
-lng brilliant. It was nip .".nd tuck, and
Bth '-nins used every eff-rt to send a
Inning run across the plate, but after
