Prudhomme Iw Form Pitching in mid-season form, Prudhomme held the fighting Pretzels without a hit for five in- nings. In the sixth frame, "Wid" Conroy beat out a tap back of first and put a orimp into what many of the 'fans thought would be a duplication of the no-run, no- hit game that Prudhomme regis- tered against the Xeystones at Toronto last season, Before the close of the game the leading players made four ad- ditional hits, including a long double in the eighth hy Johnny Moore, and which was labelled a circuit drive over the score bhoawd and would have heen a homer hut for the high wind.
