"Big Jim" Larkin proved himself one hdwra good pitdber in MP battle with "Lefty" Andrews, a nifty looking southpaw with contro) befitting a fellow twirling with his right paw. Hits were scarcer than hens' teeth throughout the game, while strikeouts ran to a high figure. Andrews fanned 17; Larkin 13. Daring base running on both sides told the story. In tact that's Just how the game was finally won in the eleventh. With Cooper of Eight on third, Larkin fanned Hopp. When the ball got away from the catcher, necessitating a throw to first for the potout, Cooper eet sail for home and beat the return throw.
