Besides, it required eleven insings, , That the Yanks did not add ‘1 victory to their Het was because of hard luck. In the sixth inning Strunk dropped a iittle fly just between Truesdale and Hartzell, and a Mack run drifted in.

So ft is easy to see that Keat- ing @id not have the breaks yesten - they started to epurt. Jim Walsh, whose great playing has been an outstanding feature in the series, pulled off a stunning feat in the fifth inning.
