son made the second hand out when he was retired after his hard drive was captured by Josephs. The crowd again advanced to the exits, but once more it was halted when Kohler failed to locate the plate for Sykes and he was given a free pass. This brought up Yeasbley, who already had two hits to his credit. A hush fell on the crowd as Kohler shot the flrst ball over for a strike, but in letting this ball go by it was the play of a mas¬ ter at the game and then the fans saw this player set himself and with all the strength In his shoulders he met the next ball failly and the three runners tore around the diamond as fast as they could travel, for the drive hit the left field fence, and before the ball could be recovered both .Schultz and Sykes tallied and the game was over.
