We are very much afraid we put a “double whammy" or some- thing on shortstop" Landry, when we mentioned the fact in the last issue of our column that Hank had accepted fourteen chan- ces without an error. The Red Sox had only two errors in Wed- nesdays gamewith the R.C.A.F.. and Landry had both of them. One of them was excusable, while the other was not. Landry raced far into left field in the fifth to get under Stumptfs Texasr-Leaguer, but as he caught the ball one foot struck a depression in the ground which threw him of! balance and he dropped the pellet for his first error of the season. His second miscue occurred in the seventh when forced to hurry his throw because Carson, who for a big man picks 'em up and puts 'em down with surprising? agility, was tearing along’ toward first with all sails spread. Hank's throw was wild, giving him No. 2 for 1948.

Patterson, Airforce pitcher, com- mitted t/wo errors in quick succes- sion in the sixth inning, while standing on the home plate. On each. occasion he dropped a. throw because a runner tearing in from third collided with him, jarring the apple from his hands. Grant and Phaneuf were the base run- ners, and their daring and dash tied the score Just when it looked as if the Flyers had the bail game in the bag.

We scorers were forced to make another of those border-line decis- ions Wednesday evening. It was when Garcon hit to short and made a. valiant effort to beat the throw to first which was wild. A few fans contended that Carson touched the base at the same time as Crossman reached for the ball and should have been given a hit. We didn't see it quite that way, but even granting that this was so, we still think a good throw would have beaten him. In the
