Last Sun- day, however, Rerg pitched an effec- tive game and there is no telling what the outcome would have been had not an unfortunate incident occurred in an early inning which resulted in the Besses getting a rMun which many thought they should not have had. That was when Nom Begley interfered with Blanchard's throw to the plate, spoling a double play and permitting a run to score.

Not for a moment did he take those keen dark eyes from the face of the champion. His handlers ioosed a deafening volume of advice, but Kirpo never heard them.
