SPORTETTES (Continued from Page 4.)

In a game yesterday Baxter sustained a severe blow to the head while sliding into second as Lingle’s throw to Vogel caused an out. He recovered enough to rejoin play after a brief delay. Vogel’s feud rumor with the Baxter family surfaced after Bill Brennan stated no personal grievance against Vogel. Otto was struck out four times by His Majesty in yesterday’s contest. Ziggy Sherer lined a long eighth inning hit to center that could have become a home run, but he remained at third as Sondheim struck out. Free admission for ladies continues through the week with many taking advantage.
