Umpire Jack Nettles, who says his ® '••ticient, called the bail foul, not noting the catch in ^e gathering darkneag. But all of Rowell’s mates and scores of specta. tors saw it and after a brief huddle, Rowell was given credit for the catch.

The Merch ants got ai4ay in the third when two hits and six prrors by the Instruotors nett^ them four runs. Tbi Instruc tors threw the ball all over the dia mond. Rowell, who starre^ In the outfield for the Merchants, got an unique homer in that inning when he was safe at'first after Chichester let Jibe third strike get away. Two more errors, one by Taylor and the other by Haydu and Rowell was all the way home, not stopping at qpy. station-en route.
