Just how many balls Catcher Blake brought with him was to develop later. Some Line-Ups First to take the field was Com- | pany Two, boasting a line-up that Id awe the New York Yankees: Toeing the rubber was Frank Hein- ke, the renowned fast-ball artist; at first, towering and spreading Ken Junge; at second, dynamic, flashing, Rabbitt Metcalf; plugging both third and short, that rock of ages, Big Mac. Covering the out- field like a moth-eaten blanket were Roy Nolan, the Babe Ruth of the Far North; Frenchy Gaudet, the Phantom of the Pastures, and Lynn Tucker, the Greased Ghost. Behind the plate for Company, Two crouched Houdini’s Rival, Kelly‘ Blake. Waiting to step into the hitters’| lox was Company “Mass-Murders'” row: Short- patcher Porter; Red Shaw, “The Man Who Knows,” drafted as back- stop for the epic clash; Dapper Roy One’s famous Hoffman; Jim Orme, Titan of Swat; tice Which brought considerable’ epper Pegues; Doc Hollmann, “The Man With the Dog”; Howard But- ton, “The ,Man From Nowhere"; and Martin Lavenik, dug from dark alleys to hold down the outfield.

Attempting to beat out a bunt, Blake crashed Hoffman. Blake came up a bit the groggier, and out. Heinke lined out a four-base crack, but was held at third by Doc Hollman and his dog. Junge singled and three runs came in from somewhere. Then Mac- Spadden dropped a bunt into right- field for three bases, but died there when a snappy double-slaying re- tired the side. Hollman doubled and stole for Company One. Pegues singled and stole second, then went to third on Metcalf’s error. He died there, how- ever, and Company Two came back to bat, leading 3 to 1. Heinke sin- gled but was called out going to second. After a dispute over the decision, he was carried out. "Met- calf flied, then Hurler Orme dis- played his true might as a pitcher, fanning both Blake and MacSpad- den, who faced him from oppo- site sides of the plane, on three pitches, making a total of four outs.

Coming in from third, Junge was tagged out by Blake, though it later ap- peared that the ball in play did not get back in from the outfield until ten minutes later.
