Nash went to the showers at this point in favor of Low, a lanky reliefer. Bill retired the first man to face him for the third out. Harâ€" rison got their total of ‘ fifteen with one more in the second and fifth, two in the sixth, and three in the seventh inning. The Casino kept chopping away at the lead until the seventh inâ€" ning, when they added the final touch after two were out. Three straight hits, and then Low‘s home run spelled disaster for Tom Murâ€" phy, the wholesaler‘s twirler. Low proved to be the hero of the day, both in hitting and pitching. He hit three home runs, and drove in eight other runs, accounting for over half his team‘s total. home ‘run featured The Tower Casino‘s five run rally with two out in the seventh, as The Casine mauled Harrison Wholesale 18â€"15, in an exhibition game at Lincoin school, recently. The loss broke a six game win streak, and was the sixth defeat of the season, against thirteen wins for Harrison. . Feelings ran high and hot on both sides throughout the game as there were many hotly: disputed arguments with Umpire Ray Gerâ€" aci, over various points in the rulebook. The payoff came in the sixth inning when Bob Fiore, Harrison left fielder came charâ€" ging in to have a few words with Geraci. Just at that moment, Bill Low cracked his second home run with two men on to left field, alâ€" most exactly where Fiore had been standing a few momenig before. Fiore retraced his tracks in a hurâ€" ry, but was a little late in retrievâ€" ing the ball, for Low plus two other runs had crossed the plate.

Among the records now available are symphonies, quartets, concertos, overtures, ballet music, operas, songs, and sonatas. Now, during _ the â€"summer months, selections are being played in the main reading room during the music hour from 12:30 to 1:30.
