seven hits In nine Innings, which at

did not Isoue a pass, struck out two and
hit one batsman. His work, however,

Here is the dope, furnlshrd bv none
other than Milton himself after the
game ill the clubhouse :

Pat Moran "Pldn't you hear Fitz

"I beard so manv voices at th" time
that I couldn't get tlio drift of vour
thoughts." answered Stock "An)wa,
what's the use? If a guy didn't make
mistakes there never would be any ar

Stock had a perfect day at bat. get
ting two doubles, a single and a base on
balls Bancroft also was there with
